What is this exactly, how does it work?
The GitHub explains it great but in summary you mount your Real Debrid (or other Debrid service) account to your machine via rclone, so anything you’ve downloaded on Debrid is available on plex.
Then there’s a script that watches the plex watchlist for new requests and then scrapes torrents to get it. (similar to stremio): If it’s cached (already available on real Debrid) then you can watch it instantly. Which is majority popular content. More niche stuff it may have to request Debrid to download and try again later
Then refreshes plex to scan the library for the download.
Even works outside of plex with things like overseerr, jellyseerr, trakt to monitor requests. Also can use Trakt to manage your library. Even Support for other scrapers like jackett and torrentio and you can set it to refresh your jellyfin library if you aren’t using plex.
Looks interesting, I'll read the git as you suggested - thanks.
Just be aware that it's still very much in beta and the support is not that great (that's how my experience was anyway). There will be a lot of pain of set it up. But once it's set up it does work well for the most part. However I am going still sticking with my current setup on Seedbox with acquiring my media via ARR software and then saving it on the cloud to be served via Plex to myself and my friends and family. Good luck!
I still very much need to get my head around the aar software - something I find difficult as the more I look into it, the more complicated it seems to get.
More than happy to help if you are stuck.
Nice one. Ok if I get my head into where I want to be with this and come back to you? Much obliged for the offer.
