Can we get Sonarr packaged?

Updates are working just fine via the plugins, I just navigate to Sonarr => System => Updates and apply the updates

I don't like the UI to Sonarr, it is all that flashy java kinda stuff, you can't tell what it's doing because it's too busy animating stuff.
I'm also not entirely sure what it can do, that sickbeard doesn't (I couldn't get torrent downloading to work anyhow)

First time I tried sick* I didn't know how to make it do anything and felt like the ui was from the 90's. Sonarr seems much simpler to me with big pictures.

I prefer stuff from the 90s which lays it all out in clean, simple, plain text. The Sonarr UI is convoluted and information is obfuscated for the sake of flashy menus, animations, expanding branches and what have you.

I can click on MYthbusters in sickbeard and on the resulting page, without a single click, see each and every episode, ever - if I have it, what the name is, etc.
It's a generational thing, younger people seem to like the ghastly obfuscated user interfaces and software with unlabelled icons, as we all know what each and every icon represents.

Just tried both (first use of either application as well as Usenet). I prefer Sonarr to SickBeard myself as I found Sonarr easier to configure and the UI was, for me, easier to use.

Adding my library was WAY quicker on SickBeard but all in all, the 10 minutes it took me to click the add button in Sonarr was not a deal breaker.

I also do not use the integrate file sorting as I still use other MetaData parsing programs, so I cannot comment on that aspect of the two programs.

Question about updates: what directory do you have to make writeable to install the updates via the GUI?

Cheers,

Updates should work with the plugin.

It gives me an error about the "Startup folder not writeable..."

This may be due to the fact that I changed the user that executes Sonarr to match my existing UID for my files. I am unsure as to where the "startup folder" is located. If you could let me know that, I can likely just chown it and all should be happy.

Thank you,

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

ahh, makes sense then. the folder is /usr/pbi/sonarr-amd64/share/sonarr

 

[Scharbag]

chown complete. Update installed.

On the status page, the disk space just has the dots going back and forth like a cylon. Not sure if that is new though. I do not keep anything local anyway.

Thank you.

welcome, sorry don't use sonarr myself so I haven't noticed that bug

This is a problem with mono on freenas and recent releases of sonarr have just stopped reporting size on zfs
