Comment on Using huntarr? Perhaps you shouldn't.
traches@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoI guess it was supposed to be a successor to the *arr stack (radarr, lidarr , sonarr, etc). If you’re not familiar, they automate the downloading & organization process for movies, music, and tv.

I’m sure a successor will come around when room forms for them, I don’t know of a reason any of the core *arr stack should need one. If you know of one don’t hesitate to share, I’m just not really aware of any, they are awesome to me.

I would love to see alternatives/replacements to them that are less opinionated. If you aren’t ready to consign your entire library to destructive edits and file replacements then it really is hard to fit any arr program into your workflow. Because I have a few files I want to keep pristine and a few opinions on what gets downloaded, I’ve hit a snag every time I try to set up any arr program. Still have yet to get any up and running.

Personally I hate that sonarr is stuck on thetvdb when plex/jellyfin both primarily use tmdb. Usually it’s fine but for certain shows the differences can be unreconcilable.
I’ve been eyeballing github.com/maxdorninger/MediaManager but haven’t gotten around to it yet

Maybe it is a necessary evil…
I always get into problems with old shows/anime when I stick with Plex’s tmdb… If I switch to tvdb all my issues are gone.

There was no reason for this in the first place in my opinion. The ONLY positive use I can see would be managing the whole arr stack from one place, but I imagine you would still need to manage individual shows\movies\whathaveyou if it wasn’t found in the first place.
I have my stacks set up to auto upgrade and find missing stuff already. It’s literally built into their programming. I manage them individually and anything that isn’t found on my indexers I typically go out and find manually as needed (old or very obscure media).
Not really sure what this bought anyone at all other than an extra layer of convenience?

And Seerr will kinda manage at least Radarr and Sonarr requests for you. I barely touch those now that they’re configured. I did always find it odd that Sonarr and Radarr were separate apps. Lidarr and Readarr I could see.
