I used to sail the seas with great passion about 10-15 years ago. Then music, and video streaming came along and was fairly priced and I happily became a landlubber. Over the past year I've begun sailing again because all the services want a slice of a pie that's just not that big. Sailing is better than it ever was. The boats are much larger, faster and even look and sound better.
The best part is the boats just drive themselves these days as long as you use proper equipment like sonar and radar
Add in prowlarr\jacket, bazarr and gluetun (with desired torrent\usenet client) containers and you're bulletproof.
Please can you post a link to such instructions for an old sailor who is back on the boat?
How would a sailor get started readying his ship?
I started with qbittorrent, and the built-in search engine. I just activated all of them using the automatic settings and it was great. But the search engine named Jackett never worked, so I wound up going here:
https://github.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/wiki/How-to-configure-Jackett-plugin
and after a bit I had it sorted out and working. Just make sure you follow the instructions step-by-step, and pay attention to the API key part. You don't have to go anywhere to get a key or pay anything, it's generated automatically.
Then I started looking into Sonarr. Since I had Jackett working, and Jackett will export Torznab links, transferring them over to Sonarr was pretty easy. Just copy the Torznab link and the API key into the Sonarr indexer settings, for each Jackett indexer you want to use in Sonarr. One thing I had an issue with was setting the content for each indexer, it defaults to some strange "5200", "5400" tags for some reason. If it can't detect the correct content, it won't pass the test, and you can't save the settings. I just opened up the content menu and clicked the box for everything, and then the test passed and the indexer was set up. It should be pretty straightforward after that. I had a few problems figuring out which settings and tags to use for each show (I like 4k UHD, but some shows are only 1080p, etc.) but I had things working nice after about a week.
Thanks sailor
the fact that they keep making these shitty greedy moves is undermining their core business model: how am i ever supposed to trust them to maintain a decent library and give me decent access to it when they do shit like this?
Disney Plus limits video quality on Linux to 720p.
The seas give you 4k and 5.1 audio with better convenience.
