I have been messing around with Debrid and it's pretty great. Let's you stream shows on demand like Netflix. But I'm an old school BBS and Usenet user. I came across Kodi + Sonarr + Radarr and this looks like it could be the ultimate solution. Basically what it does is goes and downloads shows / movies you tell it and even autogets new episodes as they come out.

Why?

My bandwidth is limited, so something that runs in non peaks hours maximizes the available bandwidth. That way watching a show etc during peak hours does not effect anyone else. Plus can go for higher quality stuff that would not stream otherwise.

If anyone is interested, comment and/or tag me and I can share more.

Cheers.

I use couch potato + sonarr + nbzget and a few other things all running on my Mac Pro server

What I've read is that radarr is much better than couch potato. Have you tried it?

DietPI is a really slick PI distro that has a software installer that automates downloading and installing all of the above!

Diet pi I didn’t know about that one I’ll have to check it out, I have heard of radrarr but haven’t played with it yet, I haven’t had time to adjust my setup in a few months due to work and this place but I think I’ve got some time coming up soon to play.

I've played with straight up ubuntu to raspbian-jessie-full/lite and now raspian stretch. Dietpi is meant to automate as much as possible the initial setup part AND trim down the distro so it is smaller and uses less RAM. Would def give it a look. At least burn the image and run through setup once. Crazy compared to a million sudo apt-gets on raspian.

I think an odroid C2 w/ dietpi would run smooth enough that you would not notice a diff between it and your mac server. Unless you are doing 4k/HDR stuff. I think the odroid can't do HDR yet (but can do 4k).
