I’ve been using qbittorent for a long time. I know it works. You think I should still change its destination folder?
Discussion
No. Leave the qBit destonation folder. The step is more a proof of functionality, and having qBit download directly to a Jellyfin folder is an easy way to do that.
Radarr and Sonarr will copy the files once the torrent(s) finish. No need to change qBit's default destination.
So prowlarr finds the torrent, qbit downloads it and radarr/donate makes a copy in my Jellyfin library and renames the files?
Prowlarr finds a bunch of torrents and gives the list to radarr or sonarr, who then choose from that list (according to their rules), and then they tell qbit to download the torrent. Once qbit finishes, radarr/sonarr copy the filed to the folder that you selected. You select the folder in Jellyseerr when your request the movie.
What’s jellyseer? Is that another app I need?
All this shit I'd rather just manually download what I want
You want Jellyseer. Makes it nice to browse movies and request downloads. You can also give others Jellyfin accounts that they can use in Jellyseerr to request movies with.
You will always have the option to download manually in qbit just like you've always had.
It is a pain to set up, but once you have it set up, going back to the old system is like giving up air conditioning.
Can’t I look up movies and tv shows with prowlarr?
