So continuing my raspberry pi offline download box project. I thought that Sonarr + SABNZBD plus a good .nzb source would be mostly automated once I imported shows from trakt.tv. Not so. I found out there is quite a bit of clicking and management to do just to get the files queued.

Based on my testing so far, it is MUCH easier to stream a Debrid source than it is to download via usenet w/ nzb. Less clicks, all can be done from remote of TV. But that is not ideally what I want.

I did find an app called TVLinker that is interesting. It basically will search shows and give you real-debrid links to them which you could then queue in aria or jdownloader on a schedule or with bandwidth limitations.

Unfortunately cannot get TVLinker to run properly. It is python based and damn, just a pain in the ass and won't run.....

Basically what I am looking at is to somehow easily collect real-debrid links to shows/movies I want to then queue them in a download manager to download when I'm sleeping. So far, TVLinker is the only thing I've found which comes close. Maybe I'm missing something? Anyone?

Background - bandwidth is limited / expensive for me, so streaming stuff is not ideal as it kills the connection for everyone else. Prefer paid solutions like usenet or real-debrid so can ensure connection is maxed out downloading during off hours.

And FWIW paying for debrid or usenet is WAY cheaper than upgrading bandwidth.

Yes exactly. For an old show for example, I add it and then nothing happens until I click the magnifying glass. Then have to screw around with quality etc to even find a source. For the amount of work, manual download would be better and about the same amount of clicking and what not. Probably not setup right though as I'm still pretty new to sonarr and nzb. Long time usenet user though, so I think just a matter of time. But man, if I could find debrid source downloader would not even need my usenet account really....

I would make a custom quality in Sonarr that accepts any quality of TV Show. I think the default SD quality doesn't allow any quality available including unkown, but not for sure. After you change the quality of the show, research for the entire show automatically and see if it finds anything for you.

Give that a shot and see if that works for you.

Can't help you on the debrid front though.

Thanks. Appreciate the tips!

Not a problem. Had a bunch of issues at first trying to find all 1080p videos and had to drop the quality settings to find any available files. I'm betting that this is the issue here.
