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.
Not to dimish your work at all, but: the Sonarr upgrades absolutely do work.
honestly if they work for you then awesome! Maybe mine is misconfigured somehow or maybe I just have bad luck, but Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, etc have never caught everything. Once I started playing with this I realized just how much I was missing.
Either way, if your current system works for you then I don’t usually recommend changing it. Give it a try if you want- the worst it can do it accidentally find something that could be upgraded or missing. Or if you’d rather leave your stack alone that’s perfectly fine as well.
exuSonarr and Radarr heavily rely on quality profiles you need to define, for examples see TrashGuides.
Your system probably needs less setup in comparison
ah, yeah, that would make sense as to why these types of systems are so popular. Since I’m a devops type by trade, my arr stack lives in a couple of kubernetes clusters. I use a Configarr cronjob with a fairly customized configmap to sync the trash guides with some minor preference edits. Maybe my issue is that it’s too defined, but I think if that were the case I wouldn’t be getting any benefit out of Fetcharr. Honestly even if it weren’t the case you’d think I’d at least be picking up moving that are completely missing. I’m not sure what to blame, here, but if other people are verifying that the builtin systems work for them then I assume it’s a skill issue or bad luck on my part.
