I think I might cancel. I’m not watching ads and I’m not going to pay the extra $3/mo to opt out. I don’t know if I’d end up paying more than the subscription cost in shipping though…

    Bait and switch.

    I’m ditching it. The convenience has gone and content has gone. I built a wish list which is now mostly unavailable.

    I need to up my game in terms of automating my torrenting and making it family - accessible.

      Man I just moved to the arr’s I’m a Usenet guy… but torrents are the same deal… I added overseerr on top of that and all I do now is “request” it on overseerr and blamonit appears on my Plex server.

      For example if you wanted to download all of the seasons of say… SpongeBob. With overseerr it’s literally 1. search for the show 2. click request and wait.

      Super easy, barely an inconvenience Check out trash guides and overseerr.dev

      I run all of mine in docker with docker compose.

      Also I gave my mil and fil link to overseerr which Plex authenticates… They can request what ever and it appears.

        I’ve got a Sinology nas I could use for this. I might have to hit you up for some pointers.

      I have some room to optimize my torrenting setup but it’ll never be as good as watching the trailer for a show and immediately with one button push, watching the show itself. I mean, fiddling on my phone and waiting 10 mins is the best it’s gonna get, but that’s still better than going over to my always-on, old laptop whose only job it is to torrent, finding the one I want, waiting for it to download, then moving it over to my Plex server.
