What do prowlarr and bazarr do
- JadoJodo 3y ago
  Bazarr seems to be a subtitle downloader, and Prowlarr an “Index Manager” (though I’m unsure what that means).

    Means you can say "Here's my API key for these private trackers" in one spot instead of 8. "Indexer Manager" is probably a better description.

      Ooooooh.

        Prowlarr is also important if you do multiple *arr. Sonarr, Radarr, Readarr. instead of configuring your indexers (multiple) in multiple places? You point the searches at Prowlarr and then keep it updated. I personally run a fairly modified version HTPC on a QNAP (was synology but upgraded earlier this year - better base board + dedicated graphics card) https://github.com/sebgl/htpc-download-box https://github.com/sebgl/htpc-download-box

Prowlarr is a deitysend. Instead of having to configure indexers in Sonarr, it does the heavy lifting for you. Goes in, configures an indexer, and that's your search setup done.

  I would also prefer to manage my download clients from prowlarr but for some reason the maintainers are conceptually opposed to that.

  How many indexers do you have for this to become a problem ? I never considered the indexer setup to be a pain point, genuinely curious.

the full win would also include 2 instances of readarr, once for ebooks and one for audio books, whisparr for your 18+ needs, stash for your 18+ needs frontend, and I think audiobookshelf and kavita to play the audiobooks and ebooks respectively. If you're into comics you might also want to throw mylar3 in there and if you have multiple users (aka a spouse and/or offspring) you may want to throw ombi in there too.

  Some may prefer Overseerr to Ombi.

    Indeed there are probably multiple paths to the full win. I like to use airsonic-advanced to feed music to my legacy sonos systems (can somebody please make an easy to use, pretty opensource alternative to the sonos multiroom software stack that can output to hifiberry's or ideally a cheaper alternative? even better would be an included best at each price level alternative speaker to double sided tape the hifiberry to). I also prefer to use beets and a cron job to convert my whole music collection into decent quality opus files and syncthing to get them onto my phone rather than using a frontend and mobile data to stream the flac files from my house.

  Readarr is weird. Turned it off after I started get messages from it saying it was deleting my ebooks. I don't know why it can't just work like Sonarr.

  Some additional recommendations: - Setup two Radarr instances (normal and 4K) and two Sonarr instances (TV and anime) - Follow the TRaSH guides to improve media quality - Komga to read manga and comics - Readarr Calibre integration to delegate parsing & metadata to Calibre - Jellyseerr or Overseerr instead of Ombi - Unpackerr to catch and handle compressed media - autobrr if you’re looking to build ratio

Toss in RDClient for real-debrid support via the qbitorrent plugin in sonaar/radarr and it's fantastic.

I use Prowlarr as it’s tightly integrated with the *arr stack, but Jackett is another great option if you don’t need that.
