Thank you so much for your help! This has been a thing I’ve been putting off learning for a few months now. Knowing a little more about Sonarr’s limitations is a tremendous boon, I will probably just delete the series from the seedbox and redownload through Jellyseer. Because I typically try to permaseed (until I need to free up space anyway) hard linking is the priority.

Thanks again for your help, friend!

Interesting, I have tried that before but I didn’t think it worked, however there’s no telling if I waited long enough for sonarr to actually scan for it and add it. The hard link command worked great for a movie I wanted to manually add but since I can’t hard link directories I will try that for a TV show. Thanks for the advice!

Edit: After figuring out how to add a profile and custom format that wouldn’t allow downloads from the indexers, I added the series that I was already seeding but it only imported the first season (of eight).

I think it is getting thrown off by the folder structure? In the directory that my torrent client seeds from the files are in a folder named “Series S01-08” and then there is a folder for each season inside that folder. I’m guessing it just stops after season 1 thinking it’s done finding episodes in that directory? I’m unsure how to proceed. Any advice is welcome.

Cool, I don’t feel as dumb now because that’s how I thought it worked. How do I create a hard link instead of copying in Linux though? The space saving is my main goal because space is finite on my box and there’s no reason to have it on there twice.

The reason I ask is because a specific show my wife and I want to watch doesn’t pull correctly in Jellyseer but I’m almost certain I could just manually download the season I need. I just don’t know how to do what the arrs are doing on the backend.

Edit: Gave her a goog and it looks pretty easy actually. If anyone else is interested in how to make hard links in Linux.

I guess I should mention that I run Jellyfin and the arrs through my seedbox so I have only the vaguest notion of what docker is and does. But I guess a question I’ve never bothered to ask is does the copy command in a Linux system create a hard link? Because that seems like it would solve my problems too easily.

I am very glad you asked this question! After setting up my arrs, and loving the automation with jellyseer, I can’t figure out how to manually download and create the hard links that sonarr and radar automatically do. I look forward to someone answering your question.

Unfortunately it no longer has the chrome OS and is running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed instead but I was able to get a design cut using my phone today. My old tablet refused to connect to the cutter, I think it might be too old.

Thanks for the tips and the link!

Thanks for the heads-up. I don’t use the Cricut all the time so an old tablet will probably do fine but I’ll also look into how to spin up VMs for things like this. Although I doubt my chrultrabook will be able to run windows due to its anemic specs.

Should be able to find official invites on the invite forums of other private trackers, however they may be inactive when you first find them. I had to wait a few months for an inactive thread I found to begin offering invites again.

Hi, it’s me. I’m one of those people. Currently test driving OpenSUSE Tumbleweed in KDE Plasma on an old Chromebook. Liking Linux well enough so far, and i have no special fondness for windows. Just need to find/learn Linux alternatives or work arounds for a few key things, like Cricut and SketchUp. Then I feel like I could easily switch over my main machine and never look back.

Seedboxes are great, and I can’t recommend Whatbox.ca enough. I’ve been with them for almost a decade and they have excellent documentation and support. I think I pay 15 bucks a month for 4tb storage and use it as a seed box first and foremost, a media server via Jellyfin and the arr suites, and a VPN with OpenVPN. To really get the most of it though you’ll need to be comfortable connecting to your server using ssh. Which is a command line environment, but it’s not too intimidating because of the excellent documentation that guides you step by step.

Long way to a Small angry planet is an absolutely fantastic book.

Charisma, like in DND. He has average to below average social skills basically.

Holy shit, new bobiverse? Thanks for the knowledge.

Empress is making an MMO? Lol

Google local print shops in your area, they should be able to do it cheaper than that.

Go watch Tommy Wiseau’s The Room and then we can talk about bad movies.
