Consumers are paying more than ever for streaming TV each month and analysts say there’s no reason for the companies to stop raising prices::Finding new subscribers in a saturated streaming video market isn't easy. And with legacy media companies desperate to recoup revenue declines in their linear TV businesses, the cost of your monthly plan is likely to keep rising.

lol I'm like 20 clicks into Sonarr's website and I still cant find a simple answer: what is Sonarr?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Some sites just assume you know. In short, thing that automates and streamlines series piracy. Radarr is for films, Lidarr for music, Readarr for book, Whisparr for porn, Prowlarr allows to better manage sources for all of the above.

So is Prowlarr an alternative to Jackett? I've use Jackett before but it was (as best as I could understand) a way to translate different indexer URIs into a common format.

More or less, yes, they serve similar purposes.

Don’t forget about autobrr, for getting things as fast as electronically possible, increasing your seeding ratio to ungodly levels.

Wow, interesting! Thanks.

Agreed. I found it a bit disappointing they skipped to the highlights without describing the big picture first. This is from their GitHub:

Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.

Took a buttload of Googling to just figure out what PVR stands for lol... and I'm still not sure I got it right. Seems like it's Personal Video Recording??
