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.
