Hey everyone I have finished a script I've been working on. The script will get a user's watched items from emby and then unmonitor them in the relative *Arr app before deleting them from your emby library and filesystem if it has been more than 14 days from the episodes air date (the time limit isn't in place for movies only episodes). You can also blacklist movies and tv shows for the script to ignore feel free to check it out over on GitHub Github - EmbyArrSync

Hi All, so, I have Emby for several years, after I head Plex for some time before then. In another thread here someone asked me if I used Sonarr and Radarr... I had no idea then what they were. So I first peeked at it, then looked at it, then I felt overwhelmed by what it all requires. I sidelined it for several months, before I thought to try it. Again, I was dumb-struck by what it all requires (indexers for example). I did have Emby, and I like that it recognized my movies even though my naming scheme was nothing like what Emby recommends (> Movies , > TV-Series). Mine is, more or less, movies/<year YYYY>/<movie name>.(<year YYYY>).some.other.info.like.res.or.language/<movie name>.some.other.info.like.res.or.language.<ext> TV shows are much more in disarray. So I installed Radarr, after I had decided to use debian as base-OS for the VM. And I thought Radarr would help me with my movies. Well, I had to correct my opinion really quick, I don't think it does help. Not with movies I already have. It might help with new movies, but I does have to test that. Not to get stuck on a specific problem, I added Sonarr. Then I understood, I will not get very far without an Indexer. So, I looked into NZBHydra2. I did like the looks of it, but then I decided to use Prowlarr nonetheless (at this point I purged this VM and started a new one from scratch, start from square one). I was lucky to get into drunkenslug for free, added Binsearch (free), looking at nzbplanet right now. I added Whisparr as last one of the Servarr package, I am not sure I need the others. I then added a headless qBit, and I started using it, just to test it. After some issues with it at first, I am quite fond of it now. As part of my DLNA troubleshooting, I had set up another VM along the way with Jellyfin that serves the same movies as Emby. Lastly, I added SABnzb. I had an Eweka subscription for some time, but it was dormant. I have to say I am used to download usenet article by article, and have some windows tool assemble it all. If the tool fails, I just kick the entire download. But I basically did not use nzb-files. That was years ago. (I first downloaded from the usenet in the first haf of the nineties,) Planned, but not implemented, it JD2. I have to say that I am not done at all. Populating Prowlarr with indexers helped to get all the other populated as well. So, without adding any connections or dataflow, this is my setup: I must admit I have not used the whole "Arr-"chitecture yet. Not once. I usually look at what is "hot" and "Top" on the trackers, I look at IMDB for similar movies to one I like or movies from an actor I like. How do I get Radarr or Sonarr to match my path-Setup: Radarr: Year/Movie Name (Year)/Movie file.ext Sonarr: Series Name/Season #/Series Name E##S##.<episode name if known>.ext Whisparr: <Genre or Keyword>/Movie Name (Year)/Movie file.ext How do I get Radarr to help my identify what is hot on a tracker? How do I get qBit not to lose track of where the data goes after it was completely downloaded? How do I get Sonarr prefer full seasons over single episodes? Has anyone else here a similar software-setup and perfected all the settings and the "inter-software-communication"? Can you help me with my issues? I would love to hear from others! Cheers, Roodee

Hello, Quick question....I love that there is support for multiple versions (ie. HD and UHD) but I run into a lot of issues with radarr as it is not devolved for it. My workaround is 2 different instances of radarr to handle the different versions but the problem still has me manually adding 4k versions to the file structure and manually turn off monitoring on the movies first for the 1080p version, then after I import the 4k version as it will try and delete one of the 2 versions and download it again. This makes it very hard to keep track of the 4k releases I have as well as I am unable to automate it. I know that the feature only works if files are in the same folder, but I was wondering if there is anyway to do the following or would you consider implementing it if it was not too much work? I am sure I am not the only person out there with this issue as there a tons of requests for radarr to add support but it would take a whole rewrite to accomplish so I don't see it happening any time soon. I also don't think its transcoding from 4k to 1080p is really an option currently as the resources required are very high. *Movies* (Single Library with 2 folders ) /Movies /300 (YYYY) /300 (YYYY) - 1080p.mkv /Movies4k /300 (YYYY) /300 (YYYY) - 2160p.mkv I am not sure how emby handles multiple folders per library but if it could kind of mux them together somehow since the file structures would be identical. Okay maybe was not a quick question, but I do think with 4k content becoming more of a thing file management is important and having them in separate folders would definitely help keep track of them easier. As always thanks for all the hard work!

I'm not sure if this is an Emby error or something else but thought I'd get some feedback because it is very weird. I can't get Emby Metadata Manager to delete certain movies (and only those, as described below), giving the error "There was an error deleting the item from Emby Server. Please check that Emby Server has write access to the media folder and try again." OS: Windows 2008 R2 64-bit Emby Server: 3.2.70.0 Run Method: All of them (run at user log in, manually run "as administrator", and as a service (both local system and specific user) ). From any user interface I have (web page accessed via lan or server, Kodi Emby Plugin Menu) Emby Delete Permission: Set on for all libraries Library: All on locally connected or internal drives File Permissions: All permission settings are identical on files and folders that work and those that don't. I've checked every level of the file tree. File Attributes: Seems to be related to files marked read only, but only some of them! I'll describe below. Directory Structure: Only seems to happen on movies in their own folder. Behavior and other software: My server runs Emby, Sonarr for TV shows, and Radarr for movies. I used to run Couch Potato but don't any more. With Sonarr TV shows go in their own directory and then, generally, in a season folder. (e.g. z:\Video\Tv\Pawn Stars\Season 2017\Pawn Stars.s2017e05.Seven Barreled Pawn.mkv) I can delete episodes just fine and it doesn't matter if the video file is marked read only or not. There are some that are read only and others that aren't and I've even manually set that flag for testing this issue and it makes no difference. With Couch Potato I had movies saving directly to a Movies folder. I also had movies in there from before I used any automated downloader. (e.g. z:\Video\Movies\Alien Covenant (2017).mkv)I can delete movies just fine and it doesn't matter if the video file is marked read only or not. I tested changing the flag on these as well and it makes no difference. Radarr insists on using per movie folders and I just use the same movie folder I already had as the parent folder. In other words it has movies that are both in the main directory and some in their own. (e.g. Z:\Video\Movies\Wonder Woman (2017)\Wonder Woman (2017).mkv). Emby handles that all fine except for this delete problem. Radarr sets the read only attribute on the movie files for some reason. These are the ones I get the error on. Emby deletes all the metadata files just fine but then chokes on the main movie file. If I uncheck the read only attribute then Emby can delete them just fine! To test, I moved one of the movies that was just in the main folder into it's own sub-folder and then checked the read only attribute and the same error occurs. Here's a segment of the log file though it isn't particularly enlightening. It happens no matter what else is going on so I didn't provide the entire log. https://paste2.org/M4Vc5FJc
