I’ve sailed the high seas for a while starting with Emule, through MIRC, torrenting, mega(upload) and many more.

Lately I’ve been using a p4s service on plex but they kept having issues so I stopped it. I don’t mind paying but I want

  • the latest episodes of my content as it comes out
  • great quality with little to no compression
  • english subtitles, original voice (whether english, japanese…)
  • 100% uptime.

I’m assuming my p4s service was not downloading new episodes by hand, so there must a (set of) OSS software to automatically download new episodes of a predefined set of TV shows / anime, add subtitles, and make it available as a plex server or similar no? I’m a software developer so not affraid to run a few docker containers on a local server

    Sonarr with nzb360 to manage it. Completely hands-free, couldn’t be easier to use once it’s set up.

    If you don’t have your own hosting, search for “seedbox” hosting - there are plenty of great, relatively cheap options. I picked a hosting option which had the above apps already set up and ready to go, which made the whole thing seamless.

    Instead of using a server, you can run Sonarr on your Windows desktop and have it provide the content directly to a local Plex.

      Oh nice, I had a seedbox some years ago but at the time it was fairly manual still. Stopped it the day I accidentally run a rm -rf / instead of rm -rf ./ (yeah that happens in real life!). I’ll have a look to see if I can find a hand free option or at the very least add the combination of Sonarr and nzb360 myself, thanks
