Automated TV Show piracy state of the art? (lemmy.world)

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

Forgot to mention Bazarr for subtitles. Integrates seamlessly with Sonarr.

Seedbox hosting is great, but without guaranteed resources on CPU etc you have to be careful to make sure the device you're playing back on has full support for all relevant video / audio codecs. Any attempt to transcode on a shared platform is going to be inconsistent at best

There are some good ones out there, just look for reviews. I haven't had any issues with transcoding with the provider I use on a $5/mo plan.

Thanks, I've got that setup in an evening on a machine that wasn't doing anything, with unraid as an OS.

It works beautifully and the quality of content and speed (100MB/s always !!!!) of the usenet servers are just amazing.

So landed on OS - Unraid Getting TV Shows - Sonarr (as Docker app) Indexer - NZBGeek Usenet server - Eweka Getter - NZBGet Streaming platform - Plex Managing from my phone - NZB360. The UI is just amazing

I'll add Radarr at some point but I just don't watch that many movies. Might looks into books and scans of mangas though. Thanks anyway.

You can't run Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby on that plan though right?

I run Plex on my one. I've been using them for around 3 years, so my plan is very old.
