I'll be trying this out, it could work well with Cloud Torrent. I've largely moved away from Torrents tho and switched to using NZB's and apps that automatically download tv shows and films[0]
Here is my stack:
1. NZB downloader - NZBGet - http://nzbget.net/ http://nzbget.net/
2. TV Shows - Sonarr - https://sonarr.tv/ https://sonarr.tv/
3. Films - CouchPotato - https://couchpota.to/ https://couchpota.to/
4. NZB Search - NZBHydra - https://github.com/theotherp/nzbhydra https://github.com/theotherp/nzbhydra (I contribute to this project)
5. Plex - https://www.plex.tv/ https://www.plex.tv/
Add Torrent support:
6. Client - rtorrent - https://rakshasa.github.io/rtorrent/ https://rakshasa.github.io/rtorrent/
7. Web Interface - ruTorrent (warning: PHP) - https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent
8. Proxy private trackers to XML-RPC - Jackett - https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett
9. Cloud Torrent - web interface - https://github.com/jpillora/cloud-torrent https://github.com/jpillora/cloud-torrent
Additional:
10. Plex stats, analytics and user management - PlexPy - https://github.com/JonnyWong16/plexpy https://github.com/JonnyWong16/plexpy
11. Plex request - allow users to request content - https://github.com/ngovil21/PlexRequestChannel.bundle https://github.com/ngovil21/PlexRequestChannel.bundle
Hardware is a pair of HP Proliant Gen8 microservers, Ubuntu 14, Docker, nginx and LetsEncrypt. There is no real easy way to set this all up, you have to do each part of the stack yourself (a docker-compose file would go a long way to simplifying it)
[0] I spend over $200 a month on content subscriptions so I don't feel bad about utilizing the conveniance of NZB downloads + Plex
- patrickk 10y agoThis is a insane setup, congrats ;) I thought I was doing well running flexget[1] on Ubuntu on a crappy old netbook. HTPC manager[2] might be worth a look too.

- mrmondo 10y agoI'm the same but I don't torrent and I'm using sickrage rather than sonarr just because I find mono so unreliable, but I hear sonarr is better at finding older series.
- mrtree 10y agoKodi
- yellow_viper 10y agoKodi will be great in a few years, at the moment it's interface is extremely clunky and slow.
- stinos 10y agoReally? Have been an xbmc/spmc user for years now got a new device with recent Kodi and default skin (I think) and it might be 'somewhat' clunky but I definitely wouldn't call it 'extremely clunky and slow'. I consider it just fine and not that much of a difference with spmc of a couple of years old. What are you runing it on?
- untoreh 10y agoI wouldn't call it clunky and slow, it is just meant to be used from a tv. It's like saying steam big picture mode is clunky if you use it with mouse and keyboard. Kodi has a good api, although there are no good web interfaces yet, I have been also contemplating trying to build a cli around it
- patrickk 10y agoIt depends what hardware you are running Kodi on. I was running OpenElec on a raspberry pi, it was pretty much unusable for me. When I opened Kodi, the scan for new media would take ages, and often not work at all. Now I had a dedicated Windows 10 HTPC with an SSD, and the experience is night and day versus the rpi.
- yellow_viper 10y agoYeah, I usually give up and go to Netflix or Plex. Having to click in to each link, then in again to the stream, then load it up, then back out, and that process again for the next episode. Just one example but there are lots of things like that.
- MitchellCash 10y agoMy stack looks fairly similiar, give or take a few pieces of software, SABnzbd instead of NZBGet for one. I would highly recommend checking out Radarr (https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr) to replace CouchPotato as I find CouchPotato a very inconsistent experience, and sometimes I am outright confused as to what it is doing (seemingly not snatching the movies I want it to). Radarr is actually a fork of Sonarr, so you can expect a pretty good experience right from the start and the development has been very active since it was announced around a month ago. The project only being a month old is the only caveat as I am still uncovering minor bugs, but the devs are quick to fix.
- nikcub 10y agoThanks for the pointer - i've found the same with CounchPotato - and the entire quality/category categorization much more confusing than how Sonarr sets it up.

- mikewhy 10y agoWow. I just use SS-Plex and press "Watch Later"
- problems 10y agoI do the same, very similar setup actually, but I still wind up using torrents when someone wants older stuff. Unfortunately you get mixed results in terms of how things are labeled on public trackers and I haven't had a private tracker account since what.cd died. I'll have to try out a few of these torrent search tools and see how it works out, but most private trackers didn't want to just take cash and seemed to want you to jump through hoops instead, so unless I can buy accounts via other means I'll probably just stick to public.

I think most private trackers are trying to avoid developing a reputation like that of IPTorrents [1], which is notorious for allowing people to "donate" for accounts. Most private trackers also explicitly forbid members from selling invites for money, and, more recently, giving them to strangers.

- Veratyr 10y ago> most private trackers didn't want to just take cash and seemed to want you to jump through hoops instead The higher end trackers are communities and they typically want people who'll fit in. One way to do this (and the one that's employed) is to only let people in if they're vouched for by someone who's already proved themself (get an invite from an existing member) or if they've proved themself on another tracker (get an invite from the tracker itself through the invite forum on another). Lowering the barrier to entry by letting people simply buy their way in results in the tracker as a whole being degraded. This can be seen through the recent replacements for What.CD. One of the new trackers chose to heavily limit membership and focus on a small group of prolific uploaders that had proven themselves somehow while the other chose to have pretty much open signups. The pickier tracker, despite far more stringent entry requirements and a tiny fraction of the user count, currently has the larger catalogue and higher ratio of FLAC. Also, my limited experience with pay-to-enter trackers has been that they're pretty much on par with public trackers. Perhaps even lower quality, definitely not close to the What.CDs of the world.
- stinos 10y agoSonarr + NZBGet really is the winning team (+ extra nerd credits if you run it on an RPi of course). Can't believe I spent years using SickBeard. Discovering Sonarr was like 'ah, that is how it's supposed to be'. Will check out NZBHydra.
- IgorPartola 10y agoI could not get CouchPotato to work at all. I was hoping to at least use it for its renaming capability, but no such luck. Any tricks you want to share with the class?
- joshstrange 10y agoMy setup and situation is nearly identical (Except I use deluge+deluge-web instead of rtorrent+rutorrent), I'd be interested in setting up Magnetissimo but probably only if there was a docker container as everything else of mine runs in docker (in unRaid). Every once in awhile something old isn't on usenet and I have to get it manually and a local search would be convenient.
