some of the more aggressive antivirus software will flag anything related to piracy.

If you are certain it was the official lidarr and is safe, you can add it to a whitelist so it is ignored.

there is a huge worldwide problem at the moment with honey and bees in general, so I can pretty much guarantee that was not pure honey.

Sorry, misworded that, I meant it isn’t as good as a dedicated self hosted FOSS tracking service. meaning HA has access to my location data but i’ve also put lots of third party addons and integrations into HA that have to be trusted with access to that information too.

A dedicated service would be a bit easier for peace of mind as it would be isolated.

Even when set up “correctly” there are going to be a few shows where things are wrong, just due to different groups classifying series differently in some cases.

for the basics, you just need to ensure you have the right folder structure and the standard episode numbering in the filename, usually “/libraryroot/Show Title/Season 01/Show title - Episode Name - S01E01.file”

there are cases where a show has multiple seasons but some are classified as a separate show, some are separate single cour seasons, some are multiple cour seasons, specials etc. and that changes based on where you get your metadata and often differs from what the release groups will use.

So to tidy it up in those situations I use TinyMediaManager to manually build the metadata and write that to a file that jellyfin will use above all other providers.

I’ve only needed to do that in full detail for Monogatari series though, since I have my preferred way to arrange that abominable mess. pretty much everything else I stick with whatever the AniDB plugin wants and adjust my files to suit.

I really enjoyed Ruri Rocks, and not just because of the “character designs”

yes I was on the latest firmware that only came out in the last month and even when on the same subnet it was 1-2 seconds of delay, dropouts, mic issues. I had to have the thing replaced (under warranty) at one point because the two way audio just refused to work at all.

swapping it for the Unifi doorbell lite as soon as I get a 45 degree mount for it.

I’ve tested it and it’s miles better, the video quality is fine too, I though it would be noticeably worse but it’s perfectly decent for a doorbell, I’ve got other cameras on the front of the house anyway.

it is on a separate miniPC, but that is also a proxmox box that does a couple of of other things. I did have it on a Pi4 previously but I outgrew that. might need to go back to having HA as a dedicated appliance, not running Nodered and other things on it, keep all of that on the other servers.

my whole setup needs a rebuild soon anyway.

I’ve tried to use a Reolink POE doorbell for a while, and while the camera itself and chimes are just fine (and I have it recording to my Unifi UDM-PRO) the actual doorbell call and chat functionality is pretty awful, high delay, poor audio, buggy.

I know there are ways to DIY the call and chat function through HA and Frigate, but I need an app that works reliably whether my HA server is running or not so that non-technical users can figure it out and the doorbell doesnt go dead when i’m working on my servers.

So i’m moving to one of the new unifi doorbell lites until I find a better solution, or bite the bullet and buy a higher end one.

Perhaps I just go back to a basic doorbell, plus a separate camera and intercom system but orchestrate it with HA manually, but again, I want this to be separate from HA so it can work at any time, so it’s unifi for now.

I haven’t had a proper binge for a while but the last one I did was last year catching up with Apothecary Diaries and watched both 2cour seasons in 2 days.

Used to be able to do it all the time, but I just cant any more. I’m almost 40, there’s too much to do and too much to worry about.
