I have to look into that.

So basically you have a copy of qbittorrent (integrated with Jellyfin) that runs on the server and you query it whenever you want to download something?

It's kinda complex.

Jellyseerr let's you browse movies by grabbing movie and TV show info from TheMovieDB.

Once you see something you like you hit "Request " and then Jellyseerr sends the movie info to Radarr (for movies) or Sonarr (for TV shows)

Radarr and Sonarr ask Prowlarr to find a torrent, and then they send that torrent magnetic link to qBittorrent.

qBittorent then starts the download. Once qBittorrent finishes, Radarr or Sonarr rename the files properly and copy them to a folder that Jellyfin sees.

The originsl torrent files are left for qBittorrent to continue sharing, so you will have two copies of the torrent files until you delete the torrent and files from qBittorrent, leaving only the copy for Jellyfin.

whew... that's a lot going on.

I get it. It’s interesting. The organizing and renaming is the big selling point from what I understand

FreedomTech 4mo ago

Yes. And the ability to browse and select torrents in a Netflix-like interface.

The Netflix interface, is it a plugin for qbitorrent?

FreedomTech 4mo ago

No. Jellyseerr lets you browse movie torrents similar to how Neflix, Disney+ or Amazon Prime might do it.

Torrents used to be a painful process of download the torrents on an old laptop, scan them, make sure they’re in the right language and complete and uncorrupted, no weird or permanent subtitles, good resolution, not filmed on a phone in a theater, etc…

Did someone make torrents great again?

Qbitorrent with the tracker plugins is really good. I just change the name for my Jellyfin library and then send it over

Yes they did make torrents great. go to wiki.servarr.com for more details.

It's a pain to set up, but once it's going it works good. You may have to do interactive torrent search for the tricky stuff, and clean things up once a week or so, but it's a lot easier then the old way.

If you want to guarantee the encoding format, languages and subtitles, you can also set up Tdarr to transcode to your preferrences. I have a friend that does that on a Dell R740 server w/GPU.
