    If an alternative to sonarr existed

    Flexget, Medusa

    Overseerr

    Ombi

    The *arr stack is an abomination.

    Having to manually handle shows my friends and family want to watch us not happening.

    Your providing a free service, right?.. Dont forget to enjoy it yourself. Unless you serve 100 “friends” like everyone else. Then enjoy the money.

      Flexget, Medusa

      Neither of these have a backend that would improve on sonarr for Anime. I assumed it was obvious with the context that I meant one that used something like AniDB as a backend for anime.

      Ombi

      I don’t like ombi, it’s always been jank af for me. (also I use jellyseer not overseer to be fair)

      The *arr stack is an abomination.

      100% facts.

      Your providing a free service, right?.. Dont forget to enjoy it yourself. Unless you serve 100 “friends” like everyone else. Then enjoy the money.

      Ofc it’s a free service strictly for friends and family, people who profit from piracy are cunts and should fuck right off.

      Edit: huh, so medusa does support using AniDB as a backend. I seem to remember it didn’t or that there was some issue with it.

        Wasn’t obvious as I only saw thetvdb and don’t watch anime. This isn’t a unique issue for anime though. It’s an ancient problem at this point and without a simple solution.

        Perhaps it was added later.

          Oh yeah for sure, the issue with airing, vs dvd, vs streaming, vs etc etc order and what is “right” is terrible.

          But it’s actually kinda solved with anime, everyone in the scene and such just uses AniDB and that’s all that matters. Sonarr tries to solve the terribleness of thetvdb by using theXEM, but it should just use AniDB as the backend for anime and be done with it.

          Yeah shoko which I mentioned uses anidb and tmdb but that only handles the metadata not acquisition
