Piracy
Welcome to /c/piracy
No netflix or streaming services landlubbers allowed, this is pirates territory.
If you're able to self-host:
Sonarr for TV shows
Radarr for Movies
Lidarr for Music
others for books etc.
These can be use with torrent sites (but you'll be dealing with torrent quality files), or hooked up to Usenet indexers which search the usenet for the shows/films/etc you are after.
Usenet tends to have much higher quality copies of files available.
They then pass the info to SABNZBD or NZBGet (other options available) which you hook up to a Usenet provider to actually download the files.
Indexers have free options, but paid are better, and providers are always paid iirc.
Thanks, I've got that setup in an evening on a machine that wasn't doing anything, with unraid as an OS.
It works beautifully and the quality of content and speed (100MB/s always !!!!) of the usenet servers are just amazing.
So landed on OS - Unraid Getting TV Shows - Sonarr (as Docker app) Indexer - NZBGeek Usenet server - Eweka Getter - NZBGet Streaming platform - Plex
I'll add Radarr at some point but I just don't watch that many movies. Might looks into books and scans of mangas though. Thanks anyway.
Eweka is definitely the best for a main server in my opinion. There's a good discount on it, but I can't find the link since r/usenet is still dark. It's like 3.99/month or something. If you're not totally set on NZBGet, I might suggest SABnzbd instead since NZBGet is no longer receiving updates.
Thanks, I'll have a look over all that over the weekend.
There's a lemmy community for all the arr apps too if you need help [email protected] https://sh.itjust.works/c/servarr
Why do you mean by torrent quality? I’ve been torrenting for years and never had any quality issues.
Not sure if it still works since it stopped being worked on but DuckieTV could do this.
Sonarr with nzb360 to manage it. Completely hands-free, couldn't be easier to use once it's set up.
If you don't have your own hosting, search for "seedbox" hosting - there are plenty of great, relatively cheap options. I picked a hosting option which had the above apps already set up and ready to go, which made the whole thing seamless.
Instead of using a server, you can run Sonarr on your Windows desktop and have it provide the content directly to a local Plex.
Oh nice, I had a seedbox some years ago but at the time it was fairly manual still. Stopped it the day I accidentally run a rm -rf / instead of rm -rf ./ (yeah that happens in real life!). I'll have a look to see if I can find a hand free option or at the very least add the combination of Sonarr and nzb360 myself, thanks
Seedbox hosting is great, but without guaranteed resources on CPU etc you have to be careful to make sure the device you're playing back on has full support for all relevant video / audio codecs. Any attempt to transcode on a shared platform is going to be inconsistent at best
There are some good ones out there, just look for reviews. I haven't had any issues with transcoding with the provider I use on a $5/mo plan.

can you link to who you use?
ultra.cc
You can't run Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby on that plan though right?
The p4s service was most likely using Overseerr to automatically handle requests. You won't need it if you're just doing it for yourself though.
You’re looking for Overseer/Radar/Sonarr/Prowlarr and whatever the subtitle one is. TRaSH guides are helpful for setting it up. This all means you need a server and enough storage to hold all of this.
Bazarr for subtitles.
