Flows Randomly Fail with 501 Status Code Error/Failed to Download File

Hello all,

I have an issue with Tdarr I have been trying to resolve and have not been able to find the answer online or on other forums. I run my server on just regular Windows 11 pro. In my flow, there are 2 actions that Tdarr will randomly fail on with the same error. It runs successfully more often than it fails, but still enough that it is an issue.

I use remote path mappings in my Sonarr setup so that SABnzbd downloads the file to TdarrTV folder, Tdarr performs the work, then copies the file to SABnzbd Downloads folder and deletes the one in TdarrTV. Tdarr then notifies Sonarr and Sonarr grabs the file from SABnzbd downloads. This is a screenshot of the flow:

The first flow Tdarr will randomly fail on is the Delete File flow. This happens more than the other. I have not been able to figure out what causes this to occur and truly seems to be random. It will say the download failed after 5 attempts and give a error 501 status code.

The second flow Tdarr will randomly fail on is the notify Sonarr Flow. This happens less than the first flow that fails, but also still appears to occur randomly. It will give the same error code and fail to notify Sonarr.

I would say overall files flow with no errors 75 percent of the time. 20 percent of the fails will be the Delete file flow error. Then 5 percent of the time it will be the notify sonarr failure.

From what I gathered online, most forums referencing the 501 error code are tied to permissions. Which would make sense to me if this error was happening every single time, but its not. Any help or suggestions would be awesome!

Jellyfin Tailscale Usage Question

Hello,

I am in the process of setting up my JellyFin server and was able to get remote connections working using Tailscale. This has been awesome but I did have one general question. Let's say my computer hosting the jellyfin server that is on Tailscale is at my apartment. I am at a different house using a Firestick on a tv. If I install Tailscale and use it to connect to Jellyfin. Do I have to turn Tailscale off when I am done? I guess my actual question is, does leaving Tailescale on at all times affect regular usage for things such as YoutubeTV/Netflix/etc...

My question stems from my lack of understanding of VPN's. If the Tailscale is left on while something like Netflix is used, would that cause the Firestick to connect to Netflix through my computer at my apartment causing all the extra traffic for no reason?

I ask because it would be nice if I could setup a friend on a Firestick with JellyFin/Tailscale, connect to my Tailscale, turn it on. And they would never have to touch it, they would just use Jellyfin and it would work. But if Tailscale needs turned on and off every single time, I might consider different options for remote connections.

Thanks in advance!

Basic Move Folder Contents and Delete Error

Hello all,

I finally was able to build a dedicated home lab instead of running everything through my personal PC. In the process of setting up a flow in Tdarr, I am running into a pretty basic issue that I have not been able to find the answer for online.

I am thinking the reason I can not find the answer is because it's incredibly straight forward and I am just missing something or not understanding. My apologies if this is incredibly stupid.

Right now - Sonarr downloads a file to Tdarr/TV. Sonarr remote paths is setup so that it is watching the /SABnzbd Downloads folder. Tdarr picks up the file in Tdarr/TV, runs through my flow, then places it in /SABnzbd Downloads which is then picked up by Sonarr and completed. I love this setup but I keep getting an error in Tdarr.

I strip subtitles to an external SRT format. So the end result is in Tdarr/TV there is a folder, let's say "Movie1-1080p-remux" with the video file and srt files in the folder. I am currently trying to use the following flow to achieve Tdarr moving the folder, contents, and new video file to /SABnzbd Downloads. Whether it moves the folder or copies it and deletes the old one makes no difference to me. Moving it seems smarter than copying it but at this point if it works, I don't care which it does.

This is resulting in an error I have showed below. Not sure where to go from here and could really use some assistance. Thank you so much in advance.

First Home Lab Specs Suggestions

Hello,

I have been using my home pc as a home lab for a couple of years now and am finally ready to make the jump to it's own dedicated system. Currently, my home PC has the following specs that I will be removing to use for the home lab.

i5 12400f

32 GB DDR4 Ram

SFX Mini 750 Watt PSU

The primary use for the homelab will be my home media stack including tdarr/jellyfin/arr stack. I would like it to be able to handle around 8 transcodes at a time, nothing will be in 4k.

I have been looking at some mini ITX cases I really enjoy and have found the JONSBO N4. Which leads me to my first problem/question. Because I am using a 12400f, I have to get a dedicated GPU for the server. And if I go with the N4, it also would have to be low profile. What are realistically my options for a plex like low profile GPU? At first glance an intel card seemed perfect but I could not find a single low profile one in stock. Is there even any options worth paying for in the low profile category?

My other option, was to get the JONSBO N3 - which is basically the same case but can fit a non low profile GPU. My second question would be, if a low profile GPU is not an option, what should I go with if it doesn't have to be low profile? After looking, an intel arc a380 seems like it would be perfect for what I want to do and it actually appears to be in stock at a decent price.

Essentially my question revolves around what video card I should go with, and if there are any other routes/options worth considering that I haven't thought of. Thank you again in advance!
