So in this world of rising streaming costs and license holders unilaterally deciding to pull content from streaming channels I figured I'd compile a few guides for people who want to cut those cords. As a rhetorical exorcise I'm going to list out some guides on how someone might want to create their own local media streaming service and how to automate management and supply of content to it. ALL RHETORICAL

I'm not going to explain how to build a media server, people who go that extensive won't need these guides, but if you have the cash, and don't want to build your own server you can always buy a higher end NAS from synology or QNAP that runs docker engine and you should be good.

Please make sure to follow the instructions for each individual guide in order depending on your choices. RHETORICALLY.

First you install Docker:

https://www.virtualizationhowto.com/2023/02/docker-compose-synology-nas-install-and-configuration/

Then you install your download clients:

Newsgroups (you'll also need an account with a hosting service like Newshosting or Giganews as well as access to an indexer): https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/2021/07/30/setting-up-nzbget-in-docker-on-a-synology-nas/

Torrents (with this you'll need access to either public or private trackers): https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/2021/09/13/deluge-in-docker-on-a-synology-nas/

Then you install Jackett (this'll auto-manage all of your torrent trackers and create feeds for Sonarr and Radarr):

https://www.smarthomebeginner.com/install-jackett-using-docker/

Then you install Sonarr:

https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/2021/05/03/setting-up-sonarr-in-docker-on-a-synology-nas/

Then you install Radarr:

https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/2021/07/30/setting-up-radarr-in-docker-on-a-synology-nas/

Then you install Plex or Jellyfin:

Plex: https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/2021/12/06/plex-in-docker-on-a-synology-nas/

Jellyfin: https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/2022/09/03/jellyfin-in-docker-on-a-synology-nas-no-hardware-transcoding/

Then you install Overseerr or Jellyseerr:

Overseerr: https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/2022/03/19/overseerr-in-docker-on-a-synology-nas/

Jellyseerr (only use if you picked Jellyfin): https://drfrankenstein.co.uk/2022/09/04/jellyseerr-in-docker-on-a-synology-nas/

ev çoklu ortam sunucusu

youtube, spotify, mubi, netflix, amazon prime, disney+, blutv, gain aboneliklerim olsa da hala evde bir çoklu ortam suncusuna ihtiyaç duyuyorum. gerek geçmişten gelen dvd ve blurayler gerekse müzik arşivime ait cdlerden elde ettiğim kayıpsız dosyalarım hala internetin ilk çağlarından kalma bir dinozor olarak saklamaktan vazgeçemediklerim arasında.

evde birden fazla cihazla, birden fazla kişi bir arşive erişmeye yeltendiğinde bunun bir yazılım tarafından paylaştırılması, bir sunucu hizmeti elzem hale geliyor.

senelerce kodi ve plex üzerinde ısrar ettikten sonra kodi'nin istikrarsız yapısı, plex'in performans talepleri nedeniyle hep bir arayış içinde kaldım.

infuse gereksiz yüksek lisans bedeliyle beğensem de çok fazla yanaşmadığım yazılımlardan bir tanesi, plex varken de emby'e ekstra lisans ödemek istemedim. plex ücretsiz mi, değil ama ev kullanımı için ücretsiz kullanmak mümkün.

bu noktada ise jellyfin basit yapısı, gönüllü yazılımcı kadrosu, yeterli seviyedeki cihaz desteğiyle ihtiyaçlarıma çare oluyor.

ilk eksisi tizen desteği olmaması, problem gibi görünse de shield tv kullanıcısı olarak bir şekilde bunu savuşturmak mümkün, xiaomi mi box s 4k ile de problemsiz kullanıyorum.

ikincil eksiği ise altyazıları sadece mobil cihaz ya da web arayüzü üzerinden indirebiliyor olmak, bunu da bazarr ile çözebilirsiniz ki kendi istemcisi de bir noktaya kadar bunu otomatik çözdüğünü iddia ediyor.

üçüncü eksik ise altyazı biçiminde kısır kalması, bunun çözümü ise üçüncü parti eklentiler fakat bunda da temel seviyedeki kullanıcıların çözüme ulaşması zor.

bu eksiklerini saymazsak jellyfin derli toplu bir medya oynatıcısı hizmetini ücretsiz sunuyor.

kataloğunuzu görebildiğiniz ve bu doğrultuda yeni ne var takip edebildiğiniz overseerr'i de unutmamak lazım.

ev sunucusu demişken, ileri seviye kullanıcılar için jackett, lidarr, sonarr ve radarr da olmazsa olmazlardan.

[running-in-the-dark]

got a new hard drive (had to, no space left 😔), so I'm using that as a reason to completely reorganise my files (mostly shows, movies etc)

I'm having such a good time 💖

Sonarr mass rename

#SONARR MASS RENAME SERIES#

#SONARR MASS RENAME TV#

You’ll want to enable advanced settings to make the next change I typically keep the default settings here, but you can change the naming conventions to whatever you like. Find the button for “Rename Episodes” and turn it on. To enable renaming of episodes, click the settings icon at the top of the Sonarr web page, then click the “Media Management” tab. Step 2 – Setting up Renaming Enable File Renaming In the drop-down menu under “Root Folder” select “Add a different path” and browse to ‘/home/plex/media/TV Shows’ and hit “Save.” This is so all your renamed shows get put into this directory and are able to be uploaded to Amazon Cloud Drive later on. Click the “Series Editor” button on the “Series” page, then click the top-left checkbox to select all your series.

#SONARR MASS RENAME SERIES#

If you’ve already started using Sonarr and have series imported, but you’ve followed our previous guides this far, let’s change the default root path for your existing series.

#SONARR MASS RENAME TV#

Go ahead and choose your root TV folder, and Sonarr will take care of matching everything up. If you haven’t started using Sonarr yet, but you’ve already TV media on your server, you can start off with the “Import series from disk” option. This is so all your renamed shows get put into this directory and are able to be uploaded to Amazon Cloud Drive later on. Browse to ‘/home/plex/media/TV Shows’ in the path field. When you select your first series, you’ll have to choose a path. If you haven’t started using Sonarr yet, go ahead and either add a new series or start importing from disk. Open Sonarr in a browser with “:8989” and read on… Step 1 – Managing an existing media collection Starting Fresh This guide will be using the file paths from our other guide, Using Amazon Cloud Drive with Plex Media Server on Ubuntu… And Encrypting It! So, if you haven’t used that guide to set up your media directories, you’ll have to substitute your own here. With these tasks being automated by Sonarr, you’ll find yourself spending a lot less time tinkering with your PMS and more time enjoying your media collection! Let’s get started.

Automatically running scripts upon media import.

In this guide, we are going to focus on the following areas: Sonarr is probably one of the best tools to use in conjunction with Plex Media Server, so it’s best to take advantage of every ability it has to offer. Alright, this is probably the most requested guide of all.

Sonarr config file

SONARR CONFIG FILE UPDATE

Just by updating the API key, you should be set to go. The URL actually doesn’t change with each new installation and neither do the category codes either. No other setting will need to be updated (unless you’ve changed IP Address/Domain name for example) and it’s as simple as that.

SONARR CONFIG FILE UPDATE

Now, if you’re like me and use Jackett for your indexers, then you will need to go into each indexer and update the API key being used. Once that has been updated, you can run a test to ensure that Sonarr/Radarr can connect to your download clients. Now it’s just as simple as updating the ports used for ruTorrent or Deluge or even NZBGet if you use that. Once your file has been restored, you will need to update your Download Clients. We are going to make the assumption that you’ve moved to a new server, or you have done a fresh installation of QuickBox. Now within the Discord server, we’ve seen many people do this and most people can get it but there are a few things that I thought I would point out from my own experiences to help ease the transition when restoring a backup file. This changed my life for the better and it was so quick and easy to setup Sonarr/Radarr on a new fresh installation of Linux. It wasn’t until the second time around I had to do this when someone (I can’t remember who) pointed out that if I had a backup of these files, then it can all be restored with only a few minor things to change. Over the course of the years, I have upgraded, changed, accidentally deleted my server and it has caused me a lot of stress having to re-add all of my TV Shows and Movies into Sonarr & Radarr respectively.

Discovering the sonarr/radarr/jellyfin combo for media downloading has cleansed my skin, watered my crops, healed my ailments, etc etc etc... like the setup is a proper fucking nightmare but now that everything is chugging along smoothly I'm obsessed. I created my own personal streaming service and it's fucking amazing

[wigsinator]

Monogatari's a great series but dear god if you value your sanity do not try to import it into Plex/Jellyfin/sonarr. I have been bashing my skull into it for the past 4 days.

Please, I would love it if you would write up a post about how to torrent media! I'd love to do it but I've found every explanation so damn confusing I have no idea where to begin.

Well... I haven't actually torrented anything in a few years. My Usenet setup is quite a bit different.

But what I do know about torrenting boils down to this:

Torrenting works by a bunch of people providing pieces of a file/set of files that your torrent client puts together. You then also re-provide pieces of the file/set of files to others. That's what "seeding" is, and for a healthy community you generally want each user to have a 2:1 seed ratio (i.e., you provide twice as much as you take).

Buuuuuut seeding is what can get you in trouble legally, as providing media is way different from downloading it. As I said up top, I haven't torrented in a long time so I'm not 100% sure on how much companies are going after individual people nowadays.

You kick this off by loading a torrent file into your client program. This helps everyone's various clients work together to get and provide the desired media. Because torrent files themselves are not media, they are legal to host online. Sort of. Technically.

My basic tips for torrenting are:

Use a VPN. This obscures your traffic from your ISP (and everyone else). Yes, you have to pay for one, don't use a free one. And know that you're basically trading your ISP seeing your traffic for the VPN seeing your traffic.

Be very careful which torrent client (program) you decide to use. Some of them are loaded with malware. Including some that used to be legit! I do not know which one is now recommended

Yes, you have to seed. Don't be a leech

If you have a reliable source of direct downloads (which is when you just download something directly from a website through your browser), then using a VPN with malware + mining protection is probably sufficient.

But if you want to know how I do it, then read on

I'm no good at highly-specific terminology, but I'll do my best. I use Usenet to get all of my media. Yes, it's still around! And you are going to have to be brave and get a bit technical to use it. Not a lot technical, but a bit.

You'll also notice that several of these links just point you to r/usenet. Feel free to bail on me and follow their much more complete information!

Similar to above, you can't do this 100% for free (or at least you probably shouldn't). In this case, you need a newsgroup provider in order to let your computer navigate the system. Usenet is completely decentralized, newsreaders are your access. All of your Usenet traffic will flow through this service, not unlike a VPN (they are not VPNs, though some may provide VPN services alongside).

Media specifically is going to be in the form of NZB files. Similar to (but not quite the same as) torrent files, they are not media themselves but they allow our computers and newreaders find the media we want. Unlike torrenting, you do not need to seed.

Next step is we need an indexer. This is where we get NZB files from. Most that are worth a damn cost money, but many offer a one-time lifetime fee instead of a subscription.

The indexer you choose will provide you with an API key. We'll need this for our newsreader to talk to the indexer. It's kinda like signing in to a website or service.

While I haven't provided any other recommendations (largely to cover my butt), here I do recommend SABnzbd, Radarr, and Sonarr (all of them together; Radarr is for movies and Sonarr is for shows). This is gonna let us automate (almost) the entire process!

I'm not going to blow-by-blow this part, even though it's the most "technical." There are guides (I linked some already) and I don't think it would be useful to summarize. But we can talk through the flow:

You tie your indexer into these three programs via API key and point them at each other (again, follow the guides). Then we can do some cool stuff:

You could, theoretically, manually browse your indexer (most provide regular websites), download a NZB file, stick it in SABnzbd, and then deal with the resulting file. Or you could browse the much nicer GUIs of Sonarr and Radarr, select what you want, and wait. Sonarr and Radarr also have scheduling, so they will automatically queue up downloads when a movie releases or as new episodes of a show come out. We already told SABnzbd where we want our files to live, so once the download is done we can go there, open it, and watch!

ORRRR we could go a step cooler still

I also use Plex, which lets you point it at a folder (or folders) and it will set up a Netflix-like experience. If you point it at the folder(s) that you have SABnzb saving files into, then you've got a not-quite-entirely automated process of an updating personal streaming service. If you've tagged a show and a new season comes out? So long as your indexer hasn't gone tits-up you get new episodes as they launch in the quality you have pre-selected.

I even built a custom computer specifically to run this whole setup (with 24TB of space, which is nothing, trust me).

There's so much depth I'm not going into. Each of these tools and concepts go on and on, with bunches of customization options that I haven't fully explored. All in all it's a very cool experience that I cannot recommend enough.

This probably came off very rambling and not quite useful. But I hope it's enough information for you to do your own deep dive and figure out the best solution for you

[elisamaza]

so for my Plex server i'm using a neat little app called Sonarr

when you set it up it will automatically download new episodes of a show you're following (with the torrent site of my choice)

and it's so smart i love it. it just KNOWS when the next episode will be out, it was telling me jan 26 for a show in particular instead of yesterday because it knows the show was skipping this week and airing next week.

love it.

Napster は、それに代わるものよりも大幅に改善されましたが、今日の基準からすると、Napster が非常に「基本的」だったというのはおかしなことです。 1 曲ダウンロードするのに 3 時間以上待ったことを覚えています。 その後、それは私が望んでいたものではなく、「バーニー・ザ・ダイナソー・アイ・ラブ・ユー」の曲の名前を変更したトロールであることがわかりました。 その後、別の曲をダウンロードするのにさらに 3 時間以上費やすことになります。 ああ、56kインターネット、なんて楽しいんだろう。 現在、TPB とクイック検索を使用すると、アーティストのディスコグラフィー全体を一度に入手できます。 自動化に興味がある場合は、 lidarr 、 sonarr 、および Radarr を使用すると、リリースされたらすぐにお気に入りのものを取り込むことができます。 現代の著作権侵害に関して私が最も奇妙に思うのは、品質です。 無料のものの最高のバージョンを提供するためにさまざまなグループが争っている様子には驚かされます。 そして、彼らはそれが非常に優れているため、海賊版製品は通常、正規版よりも大幅に優れています。

Media Server Settled up

Day 175 - Apr 28th, 12.024

So today was another "procrastinating with a little number of chores" day, I was hoping to draw today. But after yesterday's blackout, motivation kinda faded away. So, I spend the day setting up a media server with things like Jellyfin, Jellyseerr, and all the rr suite (Sonarr, Radarr and Prowlarr), so me, and mostly my parents, can see films and series that are definitely on public domain, since most streaming services don't have them, and have become too inconvenient for anyone to purchase, even more in my country. It's working great, is actually a lot more convenient having everything in just one big media system that I can then just connect my devices to, even more using Nix to make all this reproducible.
