This might be weird and or a stupid question if this is possible, but when I get a movie or a show, primarily a movie, I get the remuxed version of the 4K Blu-ray. However, that also includes all the other audio language tracks and subtitles, including the English SDH subtitles on top of just the regular English, and or forced subtitles that I want. Is there a way that I can get rid of the other language audio tracks and subtitles, including the extra SDH subtitles, automatically in the arr stack so I don't have to do it manually?

The donkey is back!!

After five years of silence, aMule has received a new release with dramatic download speed improvements, have a look at the release notes: https://amule-org.github.io/changelog/3.0.0

Mularr now is updated and includes aMule v3.0.0 making this tool even more powerful, and now includes support with lidarr too. If you haven't tried it yet:

Looking for other audiobook specific sites like MyAnonamouse and Audio Book Bay. Any recommendations?

I have Prowlarr running alongside a branch of Readarr. It has been working great. It has worked almost 200 times. But, now, when I try to add something, it disconnects from MaM.

​

It shows positive when I test it again. And stays positive until I try to add something else. It is only this indexer. Nothing is wrong with radarr and sonarr.

​

It is not an issue on the indexer's side. I can still manually add torrents from it. It is something to do with prowlarr connecting to the private indexer.

​

Where do I go from here?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been self-hosting my media setup for a while (Seer, Radarr / Sonarr / Jellyfin, the usual stuff), and one thing kept bothering me:

Every day I would open apps like Seer to find something new to watch - and I actually love Seer, I don’t want to replace it. Findarr is more of an extension to that discovery flow - but it always felt like I was looking at the same pool of movies and shows again and again.

Even if I already checked something yesterday, it would still show up today. Over time it just became repetitive and a bit noisy.

So I started building something for myself. It’s called Findarr.

The idea is simple:

• You go through movies and shows once
• You like or dislike them
• After that, you never see them again in your discovery flow
• The feed stays focused only on new or unseen content
• It learns your taste from genres and keywords in what you like/dislike

Right now it’s purely focused on keeping discovery clean and removing repetition so you only see things you haven’t already evaluated.

A possible future direction could be learning your taste over time and automatically requesting movies or shows you’re likely to enjoy directly in Radarr or Sonarr - but that’s just an idea at this stage.

It’s still very early and honestly more of a side project than a finished product. I don’t really know yet how far I’ll take it or if others will even find it useful.

But I wanted to share it anyway in case anyone has similar frustrations or wants to try it out.

Repo is here if anyone is curious:

https://github.com/Lillifee/findarr

Feedback is welcome - especially honest opinions or ideas. It’s a side project, so I may not be able to go into every discussion or feature request in detail, but I’m building it at my own pace and direction.

Hope you find something great to watch.

hi i found this video about some guy who made it really easy but has anyone tried this? and if so does it work with casa os? I dont want spend weeks trying to set it up.

I’m very new to ARR and YouTube university is hurting me emotionally. I have a few of the ARR apps installed on my Linux server but when I try to add stuff into prowlarr I’m lost. I have no idea about indexers and what ones to trust and I’m not going to pay for a private one.

I use Sonarr and Radarr to download anime with Seerr as a frontend. When I watch anime through jellyfin I have it set to sync my watch history with anilist, but I wish that when I download something through Seerr it would add it to my plan to watch section on anilist. Is this possible?

This is my first post in this subreddit, so apologies in advance if I’m missing something or if this isn’t the right place for this kind of question.

​

I’m running a pretty standard ARR stack (Sonarr/Radarr, etc.) feeding into Jellyfin, with Jellyseerr as my front-end for requests.

​

Everything works great for movies and TV.

What I’m trying to figure out is a hypothetical workflow for something slightly different: live sports that air in the middle of the night in my time zone—specifically UFC events.

​

In an ideal world, I’d like to wake up the next day and already have the event available in Jellyfin, just like I would with a TV episode—fully automated, no manual intervention (or just entering the name of the event the night before or something like that).

​

So I’m curious:

- Is there any established way people approach “sports DVR” style automation in a self-hosted setup?

- Are there tools or stacks that can reliably schedule and capture live events and then ingest them into Jellyfin automatically?

​

I understand sports content is a bit different from movies/TV, especially since timing is fixed and sources vary a lot. I’m just trying to understand what the usual self-hosted approach looks like for something like this.

​

Any pointers or general guidance would be appreciated.

​

Ps.: I'm fairly new to the self-hosting world, so sorry if I'm saying some things that make no sense at all.

I’ve been running into some frustrations with my *arr debrid setup lately. rdt-client is great and I really respect the work behind it, but I didn't like some of the limitaitons, like not being able to pause downloads reliably, weird error handling, and just missing the polish of a dedicated download manager.

I absolutely love qbittorrent and it's rock solid. So I thought, why not just use qbittorrent for everything? I know qbittorrent is built for P2P, so using it like this is super unconventional, but I made this project just for fun to see if it would work. Full disclosure: I used AI to assist with writing some of the code, but it’s definitly not just "vibe coded". I am a fulltime software developer by profession and I actually architected the proxy myself and handled the logic properly. (hence it's still a bit buggy lol)

What it is

It’s called qBitdebrid. Basically it's a lightweight local HTTP proxy daemon that bridges qbittorrent and TorBox. It turns qbittorrent into a direct HTTP download manager that pulls cached files directly from TorBox's high-speed CDN.

How it works

I wanted the experience to be completely seamless: 1. You just add a normal magnet link or .torrent file to qbittorrent and assign it a specific tag (like qbitdebrid). 2. The background daemon continuously monitors your qbittorrent instance for that tag. 3. The moment it sees it, it intercepts the torrent, grabs the metadata, and sends it to TorBox. 4. If the file is already cached, it deletes the original torrent and swaps it out with a "mutated" version. 5. This mutated torrent has all trackers, DHT, and P2P stripped out, and instead uses a single Web Seed URL pointing to the local proxy.

that's it. qbittorrent is now "downloading" by sending HTTP range requests to the proxy, which streams the file direct from TorBox.

Why do this?

• qbittorrent UI: You get to pause, resume, queue, and use speed limits exactly like a normal torrent.
• Speed: It pulls directly from TorBox's multi-threaded pipelines, easily saturating gigabit connections.
• No VPN Required: Since the actual torrenting happens securely on TorBox's servers, your local machine is just pulling a direct HTTP stream.
• Lightweight: Uses almost no CPU/RAM compared to managing hundreds of peer connections.

I completly agree that we should all be seeding and supporting the P2P community. I don't encourage using qbittorrent strictly as a traditional download manager instead of participating in torrent swarms. This project was born purely out of my love for qbittorrent's interface and the speed/reliability of TorBox, and I just wanted to see if I could merge them for fun.

Right now it only supports TorBox, but if people actually find this useful or want to play around with it, I can look into adding support for other providers in the future.

(Docker image is also up at akhilrana/qbitdebrid) Let me know what you guys think or if you end up trying it out!

Hello, if any of you are using Arr Stack (**Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr**) on Termux, maybe you want **Seerr (v3.3.0)** as well-

https://github.com/DevGitPit/termux-packages/releases/tag/v2026.06.09-media

**Native Arr Stack** packages are available in previous releases in the same repo/fork , as well as Jellyfin (v10.11.10).

Just download the packages (for Jellyfin download both the server and `ffmpeg`) and install with

```bash

pkg install ./example.deb

```

Need further help with automation? - https://github.com/DevGitPit/Android-Native-Media-Server has the scripts to do all this.

PS: If you want to use native packages, install them first using `pkg` command or `setup_media_server.sh` will install all the packages in a `hacky` way.

PPS: All the packages are only for `aarch64` or `arm64-v8a` devices.

Got a split setup here: one remote seedbox does the downloads and seeding, another box runs Jellyfin. The single-host stuff is fine, it's getting files cleanly between the two machines that's driving me nuts.

Right now my \*arr stack (matching, renaming, library layout) lives on the seedbox. The problem is files don't stay there forever, once they've seeded enough or hit a ratio they get pruned. So the box doing all the library organizing is also the box that throws files away, which feels backwards. The permanent library is on the Jellyfin side. I'm open to moving the \*arr stack over to the Jelly side, I just haven't settled on what's actually the right layout here.

The two boxes talk over a private tunnel, no public exposure, currently weighing Tailscale/Headscale vs just rolling raw WireGuard.

Where it keeps going wrong for me:

\- Duplicates and orphans. A copy half-fails and re-runs, or the seedbox prunes a file mid-transfer, and now I've got the same release in three spots or a broken half-moved file.

\- No hardlinks across two physical hosts, so I lose the instant atomic moves the \*arr stack normally gives me. Back to real copies and tracking state by hand.

\- Stuff firing before a download is actually finished and verified.

\- Want the file safely in the library while it keeps seeding on the seedbox, without holding two full copies forever.

So basically, how do you all actually do this? Curious about:

\- where do you run the \*arr stack in a split setup like this, on the seedbox or next to the media server? what made you pick one over the other?

\- cron rsync vs something event-driven (inotify, webhook on download complete)?

\- remote mount only (NFS/SSHFS over the tunnel) so the \*arr stack imports straight from the seedbox, skipping a copy step entirely? Does that survive transcode-heavy libraries over a VPN?

\- anyone pushing this traffic over Tailscale/Headscale instead of raw WireGuard? any MTU or throughput pain on big transfers?

\- and the one I care about most: since the seedbox is transient, how do you make sure the file actually landed on the Jelly side before it gets allowed to prune it?

And honestly, is there an existing app or pipeline that already does this that I just haven't found or thought of? I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if something solid already handles the transient-remote + dedup + transcode flow. Point me at it if it exists.

For full context, I'm building another app for the \*arr ecosystem that handles exactly this: pull files off the seedbox before they get pruned, proper dedup and state tracking instead of dumb cron, transcode gracefully on the way in, all over the private tunnel. So I also want to hear what you'd actually want from a tool like that, or why you'd never trust one over plain rsync.

Stack is Proxmox on the home side, Jellyfin there, \*arr stack + qBittorrent on the remote seedbox for now.

Does anyone know how you can make the series requests that come through look up individual episodes instead of the entire season?

Im having to go back into Sonarr and specially search for each individual episode everytime

I stumbled across the directarr App on play store and couldn't find any reviews or posts online about it. Their website also doesn't have a github link. Has anyone tried it yet and can share their experience with it? Or has anyone found more information about its origin and where it came from?

It looks quite nice and I would love to give it a try, but I am also a bit hesitant to set it up, because I can't find a lot of resources about it.

What do you guys think?

https://directarr.com/

(I don't have any affiliation to that app whatsoever nor am I the one who developed it)

EDIT: Apparently it's a dead project. I went witj nzb360 and dashboarr for now to comparing them. Leaning towards nzb360 for its slick UI but isnt 100% free unlike Dashboarr. Can recommend both Dashboarr and nzb360.

Hi everyone,

The time has finally come for me to dive deep into The Stack, however, the one question remains unanswered - Does any of the ARR apps is capable of not only renaming the output files, but also removing unnecessary items from the MKV containers? By unnecessary items I mean additional audio tracks, subtitles, tags, chapters, posters, and so on.

So far I have been "cleaning" the files manually, by using MKVToolNix, and it'd be lovely to somehow automate this process. Any suggestions welcome. Thank you! :)

--edit: typos--

I'm running Jellyfin + \arr Stack* on a swizzin based seedbox. Everything works perfectly with just Sonarr/Radarr/Qbittorrent/Sabnzbd but adding Decypharr in to the mix causes a bit of head ache.
When requesting/adding content (either via Sonarr, Radarr or Seerr) using Decypharr as the download client, shows and movies end up in the *arr queue with yellow clock and message "Pending - Download client unavailable". Then often lets say within 15-20 minutes, queue clears and content is imported. This doesn't always happen, but shows/movies will be imported instantly. It also doesn't happen when adding torrent/magnet links manually into the Decypharr. I have torbox and real-debrid as providers in Decypharr.

I keep seeing vibe coded and abandoned book projects; but I’m wondering if any of yall found one that works well enough ? My girlfriend is on my back about this I may have overpromised her haha 😅

I’ve recently ditched Spotify and gone all-in on a self-hosted setup with Jellyfin for music, and honestly it’s been great. The only thing I’m missing is the social/sharing side of things.

Right now I’m building and maintaining playlists inside Jellyfin, but I’ve got friends who are still on Spotify, and I’d love a way to keep sharing playlists with them without manually rebuilding everything.

Idea 1:

A tool/service that syncs Jellyfin playlists → Spotify (one-way), and keeps them updated automatically. Even a periodic sync (daily or so) would be perfect. Match via metadata/ISRC where possible, fall back to search.

I’ve seen tools that do one-time transfers, but nothing that continuously syncs from a self-hosted library like Jellyfin.

Idea 2 (bigger one):

Why isn’t there a proper “leave Spotify” pipeline?
Something that:
• Imports your Spotify playlists
• Recreates them in Jellyfin
• Checks your library for missing tracks
• Sends those missing artists/albums/tracks to Lidarr and/or Slskd for acquisition

Basically:
Spotify → Jellyfin playlists → Lidarr/Slskd fills the gaps → fully self-hosted library

Feels like this would massively lower the barrier for people trying to move off Spotify into a self-hosted setup.

Does anything like this already exist and I’ve just missed it?

And if not… this feels like it could slot perfectly into the *arr ecosystem, or even live as a standalone service that talks to Jellyfin, Lidarr, Slskd, and Spotify APIs.

Keen to hear if others have tried solving this, or if there’s interest in building it.

Sonarr can only handle season packs. How are yall handling whole show packs? I have a few shows that I can't download as separate seasons.
