Oh yeah for sure, the issue with airing, vs dvd, vs streaming, vs etc etc order and what is “right” is terrible.
But it’s actually kinda solved with anime, everyone in the scene and such just uses AniDB and that’s all that matters. Sonarr tries to solve the terribleness of thetvdb by using theXEM, but it should just use AniDB as the backend for anime and be done with it.
Flexget, Medusa
Neither of these have a backend that would improve on sonarr for Anime. I assumed it was obvious with the context that I meant one that used something like AniDB as a backend for anime.
Ombi
I don’t like ombi, it’s always been jank af for me. (also I use jellyseer not overseer to be fair)
The *arr stack is an abomination.
100% facts.
Your providing a free service, right?.. Dont forget to enjoy it yourself. Unless you serve 100 “friends” like everyone else. Then enjoy the money.
Ofc it’s a free service strictly for friends and family, people who profit from piracy are cunts and should fuck right off.
Edit: huh, so medusa does support using AniDB as a backend. I seem to remember it didn’t or that there was some issue with it.
My main issue is that I use Sonarr which uses tvdb as backend.
If an alternative to sonarr existed that could also integrate with Overseerr I’d be on that instantly, but sadly there is nothing like that.
Having to manually handle shows my friends and family want to watch us not happening.
The worst I’ve experienced so far is Panty And Stocking S2. Here’s a copy paste of what I explained to someone using my plex asking why it was so fucked.
E01 is a single episode
E02 and E03 are one episode in the west and on japanese streaming(E02), but it airs on TV as two episodes in japan
E04, E05, E06 are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E03), but airs on TV as three episodes in japan
E07, E08, E09 are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E04), but airs on TV as three episodes in japan
E10, E11, E12, are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E05), but airs on TV as three episodes in japan
E13 is a single episode, but it’s episode 13 for TV broadcast, and 6 for streaming…
E14 and E15 are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E07), but airs on TV as two episodes in japan
The main issue is automation. Now it’s not a problem now that theXEM has stuff properly scene mapped, especially since I use proper private trackers.
The numbering is still a fucking mess though, and the fact that different index websites have different rules makes it really annoying.
