Comment on Someone finally made a "Sonarr for YouTube"

  Trash is a great place to start. There was another guy I found helpful, too. Dr Frankenstein, I think? Also, I can’t remember where I found the swag write-up I used for my current setup, but swag/dockerproxy are awesome. No open ports on the router, and automatic subdomain/SSL setup w/ Cloudlfare by adding 1 label to the compose file.

  Only 2 notes I have about Trash guides are:

  1. Include some kind of ingest directory for qbittorrent. Helpful when you want to d/l a torrent that’s not managed by one of the arrs. Just save it there and thy will be done!
  2. Pay close attention to the quality settings. Most don’t have a fallback quality. So if you say you want 4k for movies, it will often fail to find something, especially if it’s older, and you have to go see why, change the quality to 1080, etc. Instead, use the quality guide to understand how it works, and set up what you want with appropriate fallback. For example, I prefer to get 720p for TV. Especially w/ long running shows they can take up A LOT of space, even at 1080! BUT sometimes 720 just isn’t available. 1080 is usually the first thing that comes out, so I add 1080 as second choice. For older shows, I add DVD quality as third choice, HDTV next, and 480p last (probably have those last two backwards). This way, it will pretty much always get something decent, and if the quality I want is ever released, I have it configured to continually search. Looking over the Trash guides definitely helped me dial this in, but I’m not using the stock version of any of their presets.

  One thing I need to figure out is identifying shows that have hearing disabled tracks as their default/only. I’ve been watching Taskmaster, and lots of the episodes in more recent seasons have the descriptive voice-over that’s annoying to me since I don’t need it.
