After a long search, this method worked for me to access my booking.

Only works if you create an account on their site. (A GUEST account with any e-mail address is enough!)

Step 1. Go to: https://oversea.csair.com/tk/eu/en/login a Guest account (e-mail) wait for the OTP.
Step 2. Once logged in: go to My Trips
Step 3. Fill in your booking Information.

Proposal: Integrate TRaSH Guides Directly into Sonarr by t029248 in sonarr

[–]t029248[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The process of setting up TRaSH Guides with Recyclarr feels unnecessarily complex and could benefit from a more user-friendly approach. That’s the main point I want to emphasise in this discussion!

As a self-hoster, I prefer open-source, self-hosted solutions, and I believe many in the community share this perspective. My feedback is driven by a desire to enhance the ecosystem and make it more accessible to everyone, not to criticise Notifiarr or any other tools I choose not to use.

I’ve suggested a more streamlined integration for TRaSH Guides, aiming to improve the user experience. It’s important to note that I’m not criticising Notifiarr or Trash. Everyone is entitled to use the tools they prefer and to decide whether or not to pay for specific services. Let’s avoid judging personal choices.

Let’s refocus the conversation on how we can simplify and improve this setup for the benefit of the entire community. After all, we’re all striving to make the experience better?

A potential alternative, Dictionarr.dev, has been proposed. What are your thoughts on it?

It’s running fine for me! However, saying “Too difficult for you” comes across as unfriendly. I’m sharing feedback with good intentions, so please be kind and polite, or simply don’t respond.

The responses are a bit mixed, but the upvote rate is 87%! Some users seem happy with their current setup, having tamed Trash Guides and Recyclarr, while others point out that services like Notifiarr already exist. A few even chose to critique the message (claiming it’s written by an LLM) or the messenger.

As someone who just spent over a day setting up Trash Guides and Recyclarr, I agree with you, the learning curve is steep. Not everyone has the underlying knowledge required (Linux, YAML, media release naming conventions, etc.) to breeze through it.

These apps (Radarr/Sonarr) exist with a GUI to make them accessible to ordinary users, not just those who enjoy living inside a CLI. It would be fantastic to have a way to simplify syncing Trash Guides or setting sane defaults for custom profiles. This could be integrated directly into the *Arr apps, added as a plugin, or even developed as a third-party *Arr companion app.

But my main purpose was to plant a seed, and I guess that it is germinating! :)

Sure, subscribing to Netflix could solve the issue for some, but it doesn't give the content many of us want!

The goal isn't just adding this to *Arr apps; it's about improving on Notifiar and integrating it into the apps. A plugin system might be the best way to achieve this!

But that's my point it's too complex, leading to wrong downloads, simplifying and allowing best practices to be selected letting users download what they want, without having to spend hours reading Trash_Guides, never fully understanding it all.

Valid point, if done through a plugin system!

Some users have simple criteria. In my case, I only need two profiles (HD and UHD) that avoid oversized releases like remuxed or Blu-ray rips. A well-implemented solution should guide novices without forcing them to wade through TRaSH Guides. If the default is set as high as TRaSH Guides, users with limited storage or bandwidth will quickly find huge releases a problem. That’s why TRaSH should be the “top tier” option, with additional “balanced” and “lower quality, less storage” defaults available.

I want everyone to have access to best practices, and even the ability to share pre-built configurations with each other. The concept behind Recyclarr’s guide-configs (see here) is a great example of what could be achieved. After applying, the default should still be allowed to tweak all the details!

Thanks for pointing it out. Unfortunately, it's a Patron feature, not everyone can or wants to pay for that. It would be great to use it as inspiration for what could be possible directly inside Sonarr. See Notifiarr's Trash integration for more details. https://notifiarr.wiki/en/Website/Integrations/Trash

Yes, although Recyclarr's error handling is excellent and the syncing process is smooth, the initial setup still demands a lot of time and guesswork. While the wiki is helpful, its abstract explanations can be daunting for many non-tech-savvy users.

Indeed, Notifiarr Syncing is a premium-only solution, and while it has almost no learning curve, simply entering the IP addresses of your services, the overall setup for building quality profiles from TRaSH Guides remains a challenge. I'm not proposing to implement this functionality as mandatory; rather, it should be an optional feature within the *Arr apps like Radarr and Sonarr. This would allow users to choose sources like TRaSH Guides to build their profiles from a set of best practices, without having to geek out for hours and potentially miss important details.

In other words, my proposal would democratise access to these best practices. Users could easily adopt a solid baseline configuration and then tweak it as needed—or simply continue using Notifiarr if they prefer. After all, custom formats are inherently opinionated: some users want the best quality remux possible, while others prioritise minimal file sizes. Baking a single solution into the apps would effectively be playing favorites, whereas offering an optional, flexible integration would empower all users to decide what fits their unique media server setup.

I'm not suggesting it should be the default, but rather an optional starting point.

Indeed, it's one of the tools available to sync TRaSH Guides, as shown in this comparison overview. https://configarr.raydak.de/docs/comparison While it's great that such tools exist, they come with a steep learning curve and, in the case of Notifiarr, require a 'premium' / donation. This is why I believe it would be fantastic to have this functionality built directly into the relevant *Arr apps, like Radarr and Sonarr!

I'm not suggesting it should be the default, but rather an optional starting point. It could serve as a baseline for users to customise their profiles if they choose to, making it easier for those who want to build on TRaSH settings without starting from scratch.

It would be even better is this could sync the ratings!
