Comment on Is *arr stack a real Netflix replacement?
PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 2 days agoYou can connect your *arr profiles to monitor lists of new titles by pointing the list manager to something like MDBList. They might not be as instantaneous as you might like, with a 24hr refresh period, but it’s pretty much a 0.99:1 Netflix replacement for me

I am struggling with this aspect. I have a list there (they call them “filters” and I struggled with that too, lol), but it (radarr) does not seem to detect the new titles I put in it my list. I am sooo close. The mdblist site is difficult for me to parse (UI and nomenclature) and I get frustrated whenever I try and fix it. So, I still just jot the title down on a scrap of paper and feel like a caveman. [shrug]

Hmmm, sorry to hear that. What kinds of lists are you trying to make? Are you making sure to “enable” the filter when creating it in Radarr?

I tried making a “new film” filter to list higher rated films with sufficient votes. Then I created a normal “new” filter just to add titles to as a seperate test. One I linked with Trakt and the other I didn’t b/c I wasn’t sure at the time where I would scrape with radarr. And I also created a list from one in the community. Partly to see if I could point radarr to it (don’t think you can), and also I could just manually peruse and add titles myself. I am sure I’ve pointed to one of my lists, but am not in front of my server atm to check again.
I’m a tech guy, but every so often I run into some tech that is very foreign to my mind and it tough to latch onto. The mdblist site does that to me. Getting older too, so I am sure I am losing mental elasticity. Anyways, I thank you for replying and any help you might offer. Cheers!
