Oh fantastic… That’s another 5 services to test drive.
I’ve been pretty satisfied with my *arr stack so far, but how are the alternatives?
Thanks! BentoPDF is fantastic, I never knew something like this existed.
I have a todo list where I keep track of services I might be interested in one day, I read your post a few hours ago and added Bento to my list, thinking I might get around to it in a few days/weeks/months. Then out of nowhere 15 minutes ago I randomly needed to crop and split a PDF and realized I didn’t have anything to do it. I fired Bento up and was done in under a minute.
Those media management apps look great. Sonarr and Radarr have both annoyed me a bit recently, I’ll definitely be looking into them.
Any initial thoughts so far (if you’ve had the time to look into them)? I really want to find something that can support multi-season downloads. The *arr stacks have rejected the feature in the past and it’s been my biggest gripe lately.
The alternatives seem pretty young still. I wonder if anyone’s done a feature comparison between them…
Like one download that has multiple seasons? Sonarr doesn’t do that itself, but you can do it with a manual import.
Thanks, I do, but I have other non-technical family members. They request media via Jellyseer, which then sends the request to Sonarr.
Most of the time it’s fine, but when the show has 8 seasons? It’ll download each episode individually - some of which won’t be available/poor quality/no subtitles. There’s often a season pack with all 8 seasons in it and are more reliable subtitles/quality wise.
It’s an infrequent but annoying quirk I have to manually intervene with.
How so? I’ve ran them for years with zero issues
