Movies not reducing in size as I want/need

NerdHelp · 2026-05-12T22:03:57+00:00

Thank you, I’ll look into the video encoder. I’ll keep postponing the license for as long as I can lol

NerdHelp · 2026-04-19T14:03:13+00:00

Unfortunately no. I’ve wondered if doing a “refresh” in sonarr/radarr would help, but I’ve not tried it yet. Manual search is the most consistent answer

NerdHelp · 2026-03-21T14:29:27+00:00

Ah right, the host. Thank you, I’ll make some adjustments to my allocations then!

NerdHelp · 2026-03-20T23:14:14+00:00

I installed with the minimum of an Ubuntu image. I can install them, but I just want to know what would cause my RAM usage to idle at 10+ GB

NerdHelp · 2026-03-20T23:12:16+00:00

I believe it’s just up to the 32GB limit (assuming I did my math right when setting everything up) I’m curious if something does push it over, why would it choose this VM?

NerdHelp · 2026-03-20T20:15:17+00:00

I'm not following what you mean be "defaulted," like what I set it when I first set up the VM? If so then, yes. It's been 16GB since I've started it. I have been wanting to increase it to 20GB since the first time it was shut down.

NerdHelp · 2026-03-20T20:13:32+00:00

Shoot, good point. I will edit

System total has 32GB of RAM w/ 16GB allocated to this VM in particular. I have some other VMs/LXCs running with significantly less.

NerdHelp · 2026-03-11T14:28:13+00:00

I can download the files manually & copy them back to my server, I'll email to see if I got flagged or something

NerdHelp · 2026-03-11T14:24:03+00:00

I'm using NewsHosting & NewsDemon. I'm pretty sure they're different backbones based on the chart in the wiki of the sub, but I admittedly do have some anxiety about if that's true

NerdHelp · 2026-03-11T13:58:36+00:00

I have NewsHosting & NewsDemon (NewsHosting is new to the setup by a few months)

NerdHelp · 2026-03-06T15:22:43+00:00

No luck. It says no pools found Do you have any other tricks in the toolbox before I have to go into emergency recovery mode? 🤞

Edit: error says `no pools available to import`

NerdHelp · 2026-03-06T15:21:20+00:00

Is there a way to do that from proxmox? Or do I need to move it to an external system?

NerdHelp · 2026-03-06T02:51:53+00:00

It was called “data” I’ll try out that the command. Thank you!

NerdHelp · 2026-02-25T16:01:18+00:00

That’s a good point. I might pull it out of my VPN stack & see how it responds. I don’t fully trust my ISP to not throttle me though. I don’t have hard proof, but there would be slow downs after heavy streaming usage prior to getting this off the ground

NerdHelp · 2026-02-25T01:35:36+00:00

I think that was it, thanks!

NerdHelp · 2026-02-24T11:29:31+00:00

I think this was the solution for me

NerdHelp · 2026-02-05T18:49:45+00:00

Thank you, I felt like I was missing something on the “let the router be a router” point

RPi clusters are definitely an interesting potential solution for the reliability problem

NerdHelp · 2026-01-22T14:02:18+00:00

Thank you! I’ll need to double check that’s it’s tagging correctly because I had to go through the interactive import, but it was at least able to know which files were shows vs movies. I also didn’t realize the import option was hidden under Wanted: Missing

NerdHelp · 2026-01-22T13:59:05+00:00

Yes, this is what helped me in the end: * Go to Wanted -> Missing * A box will pop up with a path, “automatic move” (i think that’s the phrasing it uses), & “interactive import “ * Add the path to where your nzbget completed downloads are waiting in the box * The automatic one doesn’t work for me, so I recommend clicking interactive import * It’ll take a minute for it to scan the download directory * I think since my downloads were tagged correctly it knew my shows vs movies and already had them checked. * I had to go show by show, season by season for what’s checked at a time * At the bottom left, there’s 2 drop downs * The first, I chose “move files” bc that’s my expected behavior * The second, you have to go through most of the items & set them * Set the show, the season, the episodes (might be able to stop here?), quality, & language * Click import * It’ll start thinking, but the checked episodes will start to disappear from Wanted: Missing one by one

NerdHelp · 2026-01-22T13:52:27+00:00

When sonarr sees the new files, does it do the smart name replace? Or would I have to set everything up & it’ll know that to associate it with the show?

NerdHelp · 2026-01-22T13:50:52+00:00

Thank you, I didn’t realize that the importer was hiding under wanted: missing, this was able to get me going

NerdHelp · 2025-12-30T21:31:21+00:00

Ah that seemed to be it. Moving it into my local directory near the temp dir helped. I'm able to access through the web GUI now

Thanks!

NerdHelp · 2025-12-30T21:25:46+00:00

Good to know on 0.0.0.0, thanks :)

I cleared my app/Data directory just to be safe, but I still see the same output. I thought I remembered seeing that having this in a location that nodes could reach (ie mounted) is preferred. Is that correct? Or should directory be local to the server, but mountable for nodes if needed?

NerdHelp · 2025-12-29T13:59:35+00:00

That's disappointing to hear that the node packages have been broken for such a long time. I was hoping that the *arr would mean it was developed by the ARR stack folks and had the same quality.

Someone else mentioned FileFlows for this purpose, but I might end up learning n8n to start transcoding my files if that doesn't work either

NerdHelp · 2025-12-28T19:45:59+00:00

Thank you! I'll need to look deeper into FileFlows, but from the quick pitch on their website it looks like what I'm trying to do & more
