Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

Best way I can describe them is piracy automation, and man do I love them. Been using an arr suite for almost a year now. Prowlarr -> Sonarr/Radarr <-> Recyclarr <-> Jellyfin <-> Jellyseerr -> Kodi player in my living room.

Jellyseerr pulls info from a ton of databases to give you show/movie recommendations. They show ratings from 4+ sites, all the info, links to trailers, etc. Best part is the request button. Find what you want? Press request and I have options for 720/1080 or 4k, depending on what I want.

That passes along the request to Sonarr or Radarr, depending on if a tv series or movie, respectively. They have an insane set of presets to give me exactly what I want in the best quality. You set for file sizes, filtering bad release groups, 265 vs 264, HDR, Atmos, etc. It grabs the best it can find and sends it to it's downloader.

For me, that's Sabnzbd. But I started usenet, and wouldn't recommend it to someone new. For you it would be qBit, which is an excellent choice. Once downloaded it renames it to show all relevant info, like a tag system, but in the file name.

Once done, Radarr or Sonarr tell my Kodi and Jellyfin immediately that it's complete, and with the new file name, they scrape online to find the content, get posters and pictures, info, trailer, and display attributes like HDR or atmos.

My Kodi player is a SoC oDroid N2+ running CoreElec. Minimal Linux meant only to boot into Kodi. The hardware's only limitation is Dolby Vision, which is proprietary and requires a license to use on hardware you build.

Jellyfin is for if I want to watch something outside of my house. Like a personal, private Netflix.

Recyclarr is a Sonarr/Radarr settings sync. There's a guide for them called Trash Guides, and it's his arr app to sync his settings on a cron schedule. I found his settings/preferences to be perfect for me, and I just tweak Recyclarr settings for 4k downloads to prefer HDR and Atmos.

Prowlarr syncs with Sonarr and Radarr to tell them where they are going to search for releases. This is where you would put your Torrent Galaxy info.

That's probably a lot for you to process and look up. Just comment if you have any questions. I've been running this setup overall issue free the entire time. All of them docker containers, and they check for updates nightly.
