I’m considering using RD, but before sign-in up and paying for it, I would like to know if is there a way or a guide on how to get tools like radarr to automatically use RD for downloads instead of using VPNs and seedboxes/torrentboxes.
If you do have a similar setup, can you describe it? Thanks!
Not sure if you use docker but I found this - https://github.com/hyperbunny77/RealDebridManager
I really like real Debrid but my preferred method is using https://github.com/itsToggle/plex_debrid I’ve been using this for a while now and it’s great.
plex_debrid looks the way to go with. I was put off it because its name and I use jellyfin. Reading more closely it works with jellyfin, so cutting off the middleman (radarr) seems like a very good solution!
Is there anything special to know about it before trying myself? Any issues or roadblocks you had when setting this up?
Thanks for the answer!
Yeah I’ve tried it with both plex and Jellyfin. Plex has a more seamless experience with discovering new shows and movies and adding to wish list to see it available instantly. Though as I go more FOSS, I think it’s time to move back to Jellyfin. With Jellyseerr to find and request new media. It’s all pretty simple!
I use it with docker along with his fork of rclone with realdebrid support also in docker. Works great! I’d say my biggest annoyance is sometimes realdebrid gets a weird title of a show or movie which doesn’t mix well with how his rclone fork works.
His fork uses regex to parse names and move them into either a movie or tv show directory. If it can’t decide which one it belongs to it goes to a default. Plex handles this better than Jellyfin from what I remember. You would add tv and default to tv library and movie and default to movie library. Jellyfin would get confused and there’s no way to rename it or move it. You just need to find a different torrent. You can customize the regex and scraping profiles and even integrate it with torrentio.
but exciting news! on august 27 he announced the beta update for his rclone fork that will allow renaming/moving files and folders. As well as creating new folders and deleting parts of torrents instead of the whole thing. This is huge and will make operating it through Jellyfin much easier and prevent the issue I mentioned.
