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

  Why use a separate instance for 4k? Can't you just use a separate quality profile? And why a separate one for anime? It seems unnecessary to me.

    Pretty sure the 4k thing is a hard limitation due to not being able to select the same root path or something. I don't remember tbh. For anime first time I've heard that suggestion but anime in general is super annoying to download due to not having real seasons or whatever often. Wonder how it helps..

      I have a separate radarr for anime because there's are anime specific trackers that are much better for downloading anime, especially if you are looking for non-English subs, but radarr doesn't have a way to pick a specific tracker to download a particular series from. So my anime radarr instance only has those specific trackers on it so it will download from them everytime.

        Which non-English subs do you look for? I try to look for Chinese subs and it’s been a struggle to find good tracker.

        What might be easier than a whole separate Chinese tracker, Plex at least has a pretty robust feature where you can have it automatically find and download subtitles in whatever language you set. Only problem there is sometimes the timing is a little off with the actual video so the subs don't pop up at the right time, but you can change the offset with just a few clicks until it's right and then usually it's the same for every episode going forward. If you're not using Plex or find it doesn't work so well for Chinese subs, can also try bazarr which does the same thing with subs but is a standalone software. So with the above setup you can download the actual series from wherever and then it'll fetch Chinese subs for you and add them automatically. Otherwise for actual Chinese trackers try share.dmhy.org and mikanani.me for public trackers. Feel free to shoot me an email(in my profile) if you need any advice or help setting anything up :)

Throw in bragibooks for parsing the audiobooks from readarr and adding metadata for audiobookshelf like chapters etc
