  • No, that is counter intuitive. It may appear more expensive at first, but on the long run it is a lot more cheaper. It avoid vendor lock-in, recurring increase of dev costs and licensing and lots of other plagues of closed proprietary development like blackbox development and justification of hidden complexity as a driving factor on costs. I worked with legacy closed proprietary sw development and lock-in combined with legacy complexity made man-hour costs exorbitant. These are partially solved by open-sourcing, as kicking out a team and putting a new one is easier, but most importantly transparency as a driving factor on quality of development.



  • Awesome and thanks a lot for putting the time to explain it like this.

    So for some reason I got side tracked with radarr and didn’t see the need for trackt anywhere, but that seems the missing part on all this.

    This also shows up that the Plex workflow is seamless (no Overseerr/jellyseerr need, no trackt need) than jellyfin right now.

    Reading plex_debrid code, it seems it has some initial code on scanning current Jellyfin library, so finishing that code could remove the need of Trackt.

    Now, one advantage of using Radarr ia that it will move and rename to a standad naming the incoming files, I think that only for this feature it is worth to keep it in the workflow.

    So it seems like I’ll need to fix plex_debrid to understand existing Jellyfin library and remove the need of trackt!

    Thanks a lot!


  • Interesting. I installed here but I may be doing something wrong with my setup, because just using Jellyseerr is not triggering a RD download. First, using jellyseer required radarr anyway, the setup is like following:

    1. Jellyseer request a movie/show, put that request via radarr
    2. radarr will try search for a torrent via indexers (not working right now)
    3. Download via Black Hole Torrent, which is basically monitoring plex_debrid folders

    Still, not working as things aren’t communicating with each other correctly and I didn’t set any indexers (or set jackett).

    My setup feels wrong or too complex, can you give a bit more of details on yours? How the parts communicate? :)
