  • I’ve also stumbled upon Spotizerr but i’ve had so much problems with it. Usually only getting around 75% of my playlists synced.

    I now use onthespot and manually download my playlists once a week. Onthespot also saves a .m3u8 playlist file with absolute paths of the saved music. That way i can just chuck those playlists straigh into my jellyfin and be done.

    onthespot needs some tweaking to get it working right. Usually wait 15 seconds between downloads and after around 100 downloaded songs it starts to fail every other song.

    I just let it run through and the start the download process for the whole playlist again - it skips all already existing ones and after two or three runs i have everything updated again.



  • I am with you here when it comes to older stuff

    I have the fortune to be of the “Lan-party” generation and still have a big group of people i know keep ageold games, movies, etc. So if i need something i can usually get it from them… then it’s a matter of VPN into their network and use ftp.

    But usually i don’t really look for old stuff. But thats a “me” thing. I know this will not work for everyone… also, yeah despite the retention being “only” 13 years, i do find stuff that got reupload quite usually.

    I am searching for very old audiobooks and i still find most of them on usenet despite some of them being well over 20 years old now.

    Speed is unfathomably fast though. I have a 1gbit/s connection at home and i can download with ~900 mbit/s through the VPN







  • Glad you find it well-written :)

    Well it isn’t really that hard techznically, but you have to be really sure it actually works and that’s the hard part.

    You can look into “Gluetun”. It is a small docker service that supports PIA. You will have to put this and the rest of the ARR stack into the same “docker network” and configure it so that radarr, etc. go through Gluetun and use it’s VPN.

    You can then open a terminal for the radarr container for example and run curl ipinfo.io for example to check the IP adress that container has to the outside world.

    I didn’t do that whole gluetun setup in quite a while so i’m not really in the position to give a proper guide on how to route your docker containers through it. But there are guides out there that will definetely help.

    Testing that it’s failproof would be for example run while sleep 5; do clear && curl ipinfo.io; done which shows your outside world IP for that container once per 5 seconds. Then stopping that gluetun container and look if the radarr container stops the ping and / or suddenly shows your real IP.

    EDIT: found a quick readme for the gluetun container that shows how to route other containers through it
