Ahoy!
Once long ago I ripped some movies from DVD, and in ignorance, saved to a lossy format. (The DVDs have also long since gone.) This was fine for a time but now as TVs are getting bigger and quality is improving, I am seeing the compression artifacts.
Does anyone know of some software that will scan a directory for media, identify the codec used, and then find better quality rips present for download & replacement? I would rather not go through the process manually and I have to imagine I’m not the only one that’s had this issue.
Sonarr.
I can’t imagine how people pirate without Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr these days
Yep, this looks like the thing - thanks!
I haven’t (yet) dipped toes in the *arr worlds yet, so it’s great to know the feature’s there.
It really is a no-brainer with how many resources are out there to configure it all.
Was thinking the other morning about how pre-Sonarr/Prowlarr/Jackett (ya know, in the before times, in the long long ago) how I used to wake up in the morning and end up browsing eztv and demonoid during breakfast, manually downloading 1-10 episodes of My Random Guff™ a day.
Now by the time I touch my PC in the morning all my shows are waiting for me in Plex without having to think about it.
I’m not sure if it’s exactly what you need but I know sonarr (shows) and radarr (movies) can scan added media and do upgrades
i feel this. i had to toss a wall of dvds i had previously ripped… they melted in the garage. but i figured, owell, i have the data.
then 1080 came out and i realized my mistake. ive spent years upgrading my media. im up to the M’s i think… there are plenty of scrapers out there for auto-torrenting, but ive had no luck doing it in volume. ymmv
Radarr can accomplish this very easily for you!
