Radarr on Unraid.. Be careful! (Installation Tutorial)

[@Alphahydro]

I prefer downloading only 1080p Linux ISOs

[@TechD87]

Yet another great video Jason! Glad your back on the Plex / Unraid content... a tip for yourself (and others), you can separate your Movies and TV download folder paths (The undiagnosed OCD helps with locating files much easier) and then if you go in the Download Complete section, it'll monitor that folder specifically...

[@phreakedout1]

You are all up in Spaceinvader One's territory. He's gonna come after you before long :D. Seriously though, good video. It's nice to have more than one option for setting this stuff up.

[@justinhadley317]

I owe everything to spaceinvader, he taught so much with unraid, especially the proxy trick I mentioned

[@phreakedout1]

No joke, I am the same way. Both that and this channel are good times.

I finished collecting parts for my first server build a couple of weeks ago, struggled for a few days, then found Byte My Bits not even four days ago. Now my server is up and running, Plex is up and running, Deluge, Radarr, and Sonarr are all up and talking to each other. I tried to set up Prowlarr on my own and it APPEARS to be integrated and working, but I can't wait for the next video. Once again, I'm literally two weeks into this and the videos are incredibly well paced and easy to follow. That said, get ready to watch every video three or four times. That's just part of the process.

[@shhhpark]

thanks for this! building my first unraid coming from completely manually doing everything for years. Doing a bit of research before the build and starting to feel a tiny bit better haha

[@nimblor]

I prefer overseerr for listage too. I saw a video or post about how to make sure that radarr does not collect cam rips, they have many different names. Sometimes they slip through. I forget how to do that again. There is also a way to have some *arr containers use vpn and others not.

[@justinhadley317]

I don’t know if this has been said in the other videos yet but the deluge-vpn container has a built in proxy that the other *arr apps can use, your downloads may be protected but the indexing traffic is not and isp’s can see that and get you that way

[@NickPapandria]

If you use Jackett, you can have all of the indexing go through the VPN as well.

[@justinhadley317]

@@NickPapandria very true, I switched to prowlarr from jackett once I heard of it, I was under the assumption that the proxy feature was eventually going to be taken out of jackett though

[@tcghunter9196]

For updating the download and scanned folder at the start. Can you just use a fully qualified domain path with IP if those two folders won't be running on the same machine and are network shares?

[@TechySpeaking]

There's no reason to NOT use categories for Deluge, it makes it easier to sort things. Ignore him and keep the tag when adding Deluge/any torrent or usenet client to Radarr.

[@ikkuranus]

I agree you should use categories just not with Deluge.

[@CGGC0202]

@@ikkuranus Why? Literally all you do in deluge is check the box to enable the category plugin and done its literally one click

[@shaunwhiteley3544]

Shouldn't the download drive be an unassigned disk? The array can power down and less wear on your array drives.

[@Bakerking3]

Most people use their cache drive for downloads, no reason to have it as an unassigned disk. You can set up that share to only use the cache and your drives on the array will still power down.

[@shaunwhiteley3544]

@@Bakerking3 each to their own but I’m not going to use an expensive ssd, m.2 drive when I can use an old spinning rust drive for extensive read/write operations. I’m also running cameras recording 24/7 already, so may as well use the same drive.

[@themac2008]

Radarr is great even better when used with Overseerr

[@bigbigspoon]

100%

[@NewYears1978]

I couldn't follow your videos because as a new user the file structure is really confusing. I had already messed up my share folders I guess. So Radarr was barking at me about root something or other and NZBget download folders. Got lost and gave up. "You are using docker; download client NZBGet places downloads in /downloads/complete/Movies but this directory does not appear to exist inside the container. Review your remote path mappings and container volume settings."

[@MrFearman]

i´ve tried Radarr, but sticking with Medusa, way better interface i think and more features

[@racer13b]

Quick question hopefully someone here can answer it for me. Does the current version of radarr require individual folders per movie? My current library is not in that format.

[@valascasunbelter4966]

Arrr! SHAREORDiE!!!!

[@gregc6107]

I don't know why people keep the movie in radarr once they are happy with the copy they got. delete it, i don't want 2700 movies in my radarr. that's silly

[@VeNinjaK]

Why? If you import lists then it won't grab that same movie again. You can set it to stop downloading once it reaches the top quality file you want. What benefit would there be to deleting something that only takes up text data? Makes 0 sense

[@gregc6107]

@@VeNinjaK if you have a bunch of movies that you are happy with quality/commentary, then i don't want to keep scrolling through them, to see the ones that i haven't got. i'm sure there might be a filter, but i see no benefit in having them in sonnar, if i'm happy with all the qualities already.

[@VeNinjaK]

@@gregc6107 Because the software is meant to keep track of EVERYTHING you have so it doesn't duplicate the data and keeps it organized. Why are you even scrolling through what you have in Radarr? There is literally no need to do that. Yes there is a shit ton of filters. Deleting them from Radarr means they can be pulled from a list again. Unless you manually do everything, which is again not the point of Radarr lol

[@BMcC78]

@@gregc6107 Filters do exactly this. Filter > Missing or Filter > Wanted and done!

[@OldMan_PJ]

I prefer to just buy the Blu-ray and do my own backup rather than download someone's shitty compressed version.

[@timramich]

There are full disc rips and remuxes

[@VeNinjaK]

Then download the right file?

[@blazemonkey]

Delooge lol

[@jonathan.sullivan]

First, S* it Nate.

[@Bytemybits]

I agree

[@TechySpeaking]

I agree

[@timramich]

I don't know why anyone would want to allow an automated application to have write access to their library. Nope. Would never do that. Everything I have is controlled manually by me. A folder for each show, episodes inside, named "sXXeYY - Title". Movies are all in one folder and are literally only the name of the movie. Only time there is "(year)" on the end is if there are movies with the same title. If Plex mismatches when I add them and combines it with another movie, I move it out of the library folder, split the movie in the library, empty trash, rename with the year on the end, move the file back into the library folder, get the right match, and rename in place removing the year from the filename. No silly nfo files. No crazy folder structures. Just a clean and shallow structure. It PISSES me off that all of these things like Plex and Kodi gear their scrapers towards pirated shit naming.

oh i had wished i knew Prowlarr for like years ago, its so good! made the process so much easier
