Adding proper metadata to releases. Why are we still trying to decipher release titles, why not add a little metadata JSON file to every release and make the info available to the search API?
Also keeping multiple different versions of a release in Arr apps, like ebook and audiobook in different languages. Right now I'd need 4 Readarr instances to get the English and German audiobook and ebook versions of a book, and don't even think about letting them manage the same root folder!
Sorry, best we can do is some unrelated ASCII art.
At least they sometimes include insane rants.
and following proper naming conventions too. why can't releasers decided to choose one single naming convention together so it makes our job better to automate things?
Have you tried maintaining a standard at work?
Now imagine if several thousand people try to decide on a common standard.
Several thousand people who tend to be less likely to follow the path most traveled, no less
A separate file or if the first few bytes of a file contained the metadata.
I actually like the release titles. It's encoded in the name that way, there's a somewhat good standard for it, and it's one file. I rarely need more info than what's in the release title. And I would dislike having to carry a separate json with me.
Readarr honestly feels like the most barebones of all the arrs. I tried it for a bit and decided to just use Calibre to manage my library.
Sure, I need to manually grab stuff but it more than makes up for that with the other features it has.
