I know I need to learn the 'Rs, but I don't know where to start. Radarr, Sonarr and Overseerr, I think. Are there others? Where would be a good starting point on this? I'm trying to have a pretty decent Anime Jellyfin server, even though my upstream is limited to 20mbps. There is no path to fiber in my building :(. The fastest I can get is 140/20 DSL.

Ok, I have jellyfin with Sonarr, Overseerr and Jellyseerr running now at shsbbs.net. If anyone is curious to check it out, I can create users easily enough. Everything right now is http:// only, I have the cert ready, but
it's being ignored or the port is or something... I haven't figured that out yet.

Gosh; I'm not going to remember it, but a popular Youtuber did a GREAT video on arrrs. I also did one, but its not as good at all;

... The 'trick' is - Prowlarr for searching, radarr/sonarr for movies/series, etc etc etc... you must add repositories, or - what are they called in the arrrs??? Anyway, you have to give the various arrrs things to search FROM - there are dozens that are just click, test and paste; or you can add private ones that you KNOW of... don't ask me how to do that, tho. :P

Also, you'll have to stay on top of them every couple months or so - various sources go dead or change... and you'll have to go thru and add them all again. ALSO, you connect each arrr up to your .torrent software so they have a way to download your searches.

Ok, I'm using Sonarr, but it's horrible when it comes to anime... None of
the files come with meta-data in them and the file names are extremely complicated. Often, 2 series have similar names and end up getting combined
as one that just makes a huge mess. Other times, I've got 20 directories
with one episode a piece and it won't move them automatically. It's not friendly in the slightest... I guess it's not designed for foreign
languages. Maybe I should be using Plex instead of Jellyfin, but I have a feeling Sonarr would behave the same. I've got 5 directories full of about
10 subdirs each of various Gundam series and it can't handle that at all. If
I was in windows, I could move them around easily, but I don't have a clue in Linux.

Ahhhh - understood. For normal stuffs, Sonarr works really well for me - but yea, I could imagine you'd need some anime related repos for that to work great. Have you searched the... they're not called repos (altho thats kinda what they are) for anime-specific videos???

If there aren't any anonymous ones, I would THINK that theres some site that would work with an account...

I don't know. I'll read it again when I have more time. I don't think
that'll help any though.

I don't have any problem finding the videos, it's the fact that Sonarr
refusesd to rename almost any of them properly.

Ok, we'll see. I set all of my series to anime absolute and set the rest as suggested. I don't think it helped any. Anime files really aren't named in
a consistant manner.

Hmmmmm; as I mentioned, with mainstream stuff I haven't had ANY issues at all - but isn't there knobs you can turn for the naming inside of the various arr's??

Another oddity is that the series are out of order in their folders... Each episode has the same file name with just the episode number different.
Instead of being 1+ it starts with 2, goes to 1 then 3 in one case. Every directory is different. None of them are in the proper order.
