DMM Suggest Sending a Usenet File to RD. Why would I want to do that?

Just noticed a search result in DMM throwing up a page listing found files on my DS usenet account with an option to send the selection to RD.

Why would I want to do that?

Thanks

Anyone have success accessing nntp.torbox.app?

I've set a nntp.torbox.app connection up in sabnzbd as instructed in relation to my torbox pro account.

I'm getting "Too many connections" errors, even after reducing to connection count to 1.

Is this the general experience, or just a hiccup?

EDIT: No sooner than I had posted this a connection test posted OK and stayed that way for about 10 minutes. Then it went down again. So it looks like some kind of intermittent issue.

Whereto the '98 BWM R1100S

I'm 'ken old but still riding like a stole it. Sort of. Almost. I'm 80. The main ride mentioned above was bought near new in '99 and, as might be expected, has been properly maintained. 107,000 on the clock. Mainly used it for long road trips.

Next year they will be making it harder for me to hang on to the license. I also concede that I'm not as quick to jump on a bike as I was.

So, to the question, what to do with the bike. Store it in the shed for someone to find in years to come? Flog it?

The last option doesn't appeal. Too many hassles, I reckon. Someone mentioned Farcebook market place, but facebook is blocked on my network.

OK, my whinge is done...

EDIT: I see Old Timers disease has me. The headline should be BMW, of course.

Replacement for cli_debrid?

Hi

I was (still am a bit) a long time RD user. I run everything through a Plex server - Plex <> Seerr <> cli_debrid. The RD library is cloned locally with zurg. It's a nice solution allowing me to schedule things with Seerr. cli_debrid would do the work of "collecting" things for me.

But RD's hay days may be over, so I now have a Torbox Pro account. I would like to set it up similarly, i.e. automate scheduling and collection . I've rcloned the Torbox directory so that part is fine. Plex is able to scan and sort out what I have in Torbox.

However, cli_debrid doesn't cut it. I've spent most of today trying to sort it out but there are just too many serious errors, most of them 403s on the API key.

If any of you have similar setups, what are you using to automate monitoring and "collection"?

Thanks

Big shoutout to Plex; thanks but no thanks for deciding all my Album Artists are Various Artists!

So this morning I added several Fleetwood Mac albums to my somewhat huge audio library.

Bit annoyed when they popped up in Plex as "Various Artists". Checked the tags, seen to be correct. Back to plex which says it's busy scanning music. Then I notice that Studio Album from Buddy Guy playing in Plexamp is also coming up "Various Artists"

WTF?

UPDATE: I see the issue under discussion in the plex forums. Should have checked there first

Checking I now see Plex is scanning music and deciding every album artists is various artists.

What now?

Another Update: For those of you here who reckon all this is my fault, it isn't. It's evident in the link to the plex forums above. A little reading comprehension goes a long way.

Irrespective, the issue appears resolved although the library has to be rescanned. So far things are reappearing as they did once beforein the years before this problem blew up.

An FFS, underscores in file and directory names are not the issue. Plex is quite capable of dealing with that.

Australian tailscalers: what mobile data service do you use?

Hi

If you're tailscaling in Australia, which service provider are you using to successfully connect your device (phone, tablet etc) to your home server/ network?

EDIT: Thanks for the feedback. Let's leave it at that. I have spent far too much time on this. Time to call a halt.

Thanks

Origin Energy Latest Weasel Words

Has anyone else who is an Origin Energy customer received their price increase letter in recent days?

If so, did it explain everything to you in clear Plain English? Personally, I'm at a loss as to where I can actually see what they intend to charge. It seems the email, attachment and links obfuscate everything, attempt to place origin as the victim and leaves the customer clueless as to what's about to happen to their invoiced charges.

But, I may be wrong. I often am.

APPENDUM:

After a bunch of weasel words from Origin Energy that made me conclude I'm going to be more screwed over by the Cartel next month than I am now, Bowen asks regulator to investigate big jump in power companies' supply fees - He reportedly has asked energy retailers to explain why some of their prices are going up from 1 July when they’re supposed to go the other way, under the latest default market offer.

Yeah, right. Pigs will fly.

How to monitor for future or new episodes only?

I'm new to the arr stack, having recently installed seerr, sonarr and radarr.

For series I had previously been using pymedusa, which allows monitoring for future or new episodes only. Is there an equivalent option in Sonarr? If so, where would I find the setting?

Thanks

TorboxApp and Usenet Access Questions

The pro sub on TB promises usenet access. Before making the jump, I have questions:

  1. Does TB provide usenet server access, i.e. I can let my current usenet provider sub lapse?
  2. Are usenet groups on TB limited to video stuff, or can the audio file and other groups be accesses as well?

Any cli_debrid users here to offer advice on blacklisted items

I have had cli_debrid running reliably for about a year until about a fortnight ago. Now I find most of my plex watchlist and overseer requests are not happening in cli_debrid.

Recently it has began throwing up heaps warnings that items i have scheduled are "blacklisted". They don't appear in the calendar and never get collected.

What's the issue and what's the fix?

Thanks

I'm thinking pre-pressure cooking the dried beans before making the soup itself. Maybe 20 minutes or so. Not sure if I should put the dried beans in plain water or stock. Or maybe not do that all.

Thoughts?
