I know I need to learn the 'Rs, but I don't know where to start. Radarr, Sonarr and Overseerr, I think. Are there others? Where would be a good starting point on this? I'm trying to have a pretty decent Anime Jellyfin server, even though my upstream is limited to 20mbps. There is no path to fiber in my building :(. The fastest I can get is 140/20 DSL.

Ok, I have jellyfin with Sonarr, Overseerr and Jellyseerr running now at shsbbs.net. If anyone is curious to check it out, I can create users easily enough. Everything right now is http:// only, I have the cert ready, but
it's being ignored or the port is or something... I haven't figured that out yet.

Gosh; I'm not going to remember it, but a popular Youtuber did a GREAT video on arrrs. I also did one, but its not as good at all;

... The 'trick' is - Prowlarr for searching, radarr/sonarr for movies/series, etc etc etc... you must add repositories, or - what are they called in the arrrs??? Anyway, you have to give the various arrrs things to search FROM - there are dozens that are just click, test and paste; or you can add private ones that you KNOW of... don't ask me how to do that, tho. :P

Also, you'll have to stay on top of them every couple months or so - various sources go dead or change... and you'll have to go thru and add them all again. ALSO, you connect each arrr up to your .torrent software so they have a way to download your searches.

Radarr,

Ok, I'm using Sonarr, but it's horrible when it comes to anime... None of
the files come with meta-data in them and the file names are extremely complicated. Often, 2 series have similar names and end up getting combined
as one that just makes a huge mess. Other times, I've got 20 directories
with one episode a piece and it won't move them automatically. It's not friendly in the slightest... I guess it's not designed for foreign
languages. Maybe I should be using Plex instead of Jellyfin, but I have a feeling Sonarr would behave the same. I've got 5 directories full of about
10 subdirs each of various Gundam series and it can't handle that at all. If
I was in windows, I could move them around easily, but I don't have a clue in Linux.

Ahhhh - understood. For normal stuffs, Sonarr works really well for me - but yea, I could imagine you'd need some anime related repos for that to work great. Have you searched the... they're not called repos (altho thats kinda what they are) for anime-specific videos???

If there aren't any anonymous ones, I would THINK that theres some site that would work with an account...

I don't know. I'll read it again when I have more time. I don't think
that'll help any though.

I don't have any problem finding the videos, it's the fact that Sonarr
refusesd to rename almost any of them properly.

Ok, we'll see. I set all of my series to anime absolute and set the rest as suggested. I don't think it helped any. Anime files really aren't named in
a consistant manner.

Hmmmmm; as I mentioned, with mainstream stuff I haven't had ANY issues at all - but isn't there knobs you can turn for the naming inside of the various arr's??
