egg82Fetcharr - a human-developed Huntarr replacement
heshSince Sonarr et al already find/upgrade missing media, what is the use case for this exactly? Is it finding stuff they miss? Or does this replace them?
That’s an interesting point. In my years of running them all I’ve always needed a third-party something to upgrade or find missing media. I don’t exactly know why the built-in systems don’t work, but they genuinely do not seem to. I’ll occasionally see a scan go off but, for some reason, nothing ever gets picked up.
So, yeah; long story short, the built-ins don’t work and I don’t know why and this was still easier than trying to figure it out.
Just to add, I didnt mean to put down this software at all – I’m always a fan of more self hosting. I just remember reading people using Huntarr alongside(?) a full *arr stack and was curious how it fits.
absolutely! As with everything, try it out and see if it fits. Personally, I prefer apps that do their job well, and as few of them running as possible. If you don’t think it’ll be useful or try it out and find that it’s not, then that’s for the best. It means you’re good to go without any extra hangers-on. I tried the app as I was developing it and not only found it useful to myself, but it worked so well for me that I thought it might be useful to other people as well.
