Omni with Radarr is braindead easy, but sonarr requires I go ask it to download each season, and sometimes it'll just download individual episodes, and then many of those are dead torrents because most people are seeding the whole season

Jellyseerr seems to take care of that issue for me

It actually grabs old seasons and finished shows?

I think I looked into it once but it wasn't a clear instal for windows or something? I havnt moved to Linux yet

Yes, it's pretty amazing. Bought a NUC like 2 weeks ago after getting my first Prime videos ad, already downloaded about 1.5TB of stuff, both just released and from a few decades ago.

Just switch series monitoring to "All Episodes" and then do "Search Monitored", or use Jellyseerr.

Both handle old seasons perfectly, I've not had any individual episode downloads.

Noted, thank you!

Aren't these *arr software using public trackers? If that is the case I recommend private trackers. A lot more reliable with a better database. Also some allow you to create re-seed requests for dead torrents.

They use whatever trackers you set them to.

In truth you set the trackers in prowlarr (if you're still using jackett, it's time to switch)

[–] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

You have to give them trackers and set their parameters

But they still don't automatically grab finished shows or released episodes, it's just for keeping a series up to date episode by episode. You have to manually find the show in sonarr and tell ot to grab each season

The one thing I hate about Sonar (v4) is how absurd the language filters have become

I've tried downloading shows in non-English and it won't. It seems hard coded to not look in Usenet foreign. Have you had any luck? Does it work for torrents?

Honestly I started reading the docs and noped the fuck right out... I have to figure it out sooner or later.
