I’ve sailed the high seas for a while starting with Emule, through MIRC, torrenting, mega(upload) and many more.

Lately I’ve been using a p4s service on plex but they kept having issues so I stopped it. I don’t mind paying but I want

  • the latest episodes of my content as it comes out
  • great quality with little to no compression
  • english subtitles, original voice (whether english, japanese…)
  • 100% uptime.

I’m assuming my p4s service was not downloading new episodes by hand, so there must a (set of) OSS software to automatically download new episodes of a predefined set of TV shows / anime, add subtitles, and make it available as a plex server or similar no? I’m a software developer so not affraid to run a few docker containers on a local server

    Sonarr for TV shows Radarr for Movies Lidarr for Music others for books etc.

    These can be hooked up to Usenet indexers which search the usenet for the shows/films/etc you are after.

    They then pass the info to SABNZBD or NZBGet (other options available) which you hook up to a Usenet provider to actually download the files.

    Indexers have free options, but paid are better, and providers are always paid iirc.

    Sonarr with nzb360 to manage it. Completely hands-free, couldn’t be easier to use once it’s set up.

    If you don’t have your own hosting, search for “seedbox” hosting - there are plenty of great, relatively cheap options. I picked a hosting option which had the above apps already set up and ready to go, which made the whole thing seamless.

      Oh nice, I had a seedbox some years ago but at the time it was fairly manual still. Stopped it the day I accidentally run a rm -rf / instead of rm -rf ./ (yeah that happens in real life!). I’ll have a look to see if I can find a hand free option or at the very least add the combination of Sonarr and nzb360 myself, thanks

    You’re looking for Overseer/Radar/Sonarr/Prowlarr and whatever the subtitle one is. TRaSH guides are helpful for setting it up. This all means you need a server and enough storage to hold all of this.
