The worst I’ve experienced so far is Panty And Stocking S2. Here’s a copy paste of what I explained to someone using my plex asking why it was so fucked.
E01 is a single episode
E02 and E03 are one episode in the west and on japanese streaming(E02), but it airs on TV as two episodes in japan
E04, E05, E06 are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E03), but airs on TV as three episodes in japan
E07, E08, E09 are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E04), but airs on TV as three episodes in japan
E10, E11, E12, are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E05), but airs on TV as three episodes in japan
E13 is a single episode, but it’s episode 13 for TV broadcast, and 6 for streaming…
E14 and E15 are also one episode in the west and jp streaming(E07), but airs on TV as two episodes in japan
I’m so glad I don’t catalog my downloaded stuff.
I recently switched to using shoko to handle scanning/metadata etc instead of hama/ass and it’s been working pretty well.
My main issue is that I use Sonarr which uses tvdb as backend.
If an alternative to sonarr existed that could also integrate with Overseerr I’d be on that instantly, but sadly there is nothing like that.
Having to manually handle shows my friends and family want to watch us not happening.
Yeah I’m too picky about the releases I grab to use any of the *arr stuff
If an alternative to sonarr existed
Flexget, Medusa
Overseerr
Ombi
The *arr stack is an abomination.

Your providing a free service, right?.. Dont forget to enjoy it yourself. Unless you serve 100 “friends” like everyone else. Then enjoy the money.
Flexget, Medusa
Neither of these have a backend that would improve on sonarr for Anime. I assumed it was obvious with the context that I meant one that used something like AniDB as a backend for anime.
Ombi
I don’t like ombi, it’s always been jank af for me. (also I use jellyseer not overseer to be fair)
The *arr stack is an abomination.
100% facts.

Ofc it’s a free service strictly for friends and family, people who profit from piracy are cunts and should fuck right off.
Edit: huh, so medusa does support using AniDB as a backend. I seem to remember it didn’t or that there was some issue with it.
Wasn’t obvious as I only saw thetvdb and don’t watch anime. This isn’t a unique issue for anime though. It’s an ancient problem at this point and without a simple solution.

Perhaps it was added later.
Oh yeah for sure, the issue with airing, vs dvd, vs streaming, vs etc etc order and what is “right” is terrible.
But it’s actually kinda solved with anime, everyone in the scene and such just uses AniDB and that’s all that matters. Sonarr tries to solve the terribleness of thetvdb by using theXEM, but it should just use AniDB as the backend for anime and be done with it.
Yeah shoko which I mentioned uses anidb and tmdb but that only handles the metadata not acquisition

Did you mean Jellyfin?
I know Lemmy is obsessed with Jellyfin, but alot of us have lifetime memberships to Plex, and will switch when hell freezes over.
Wait until you see what they did to the Roku UI.
So Jellyfin… How hard is it to migrate from Plex?
Wait until you see what they did to the Roku UI.
What about it? Genuinely… I’ve been using Rokus longer than Plex, what’s the issue with the Roku version?
There’s a new Plex UI that they pushed to Android a few months ago that breaks everything, removes options and customizability, requires extra unintuitive actions to get to any self-hosted libraries, and pushes Plex’s Live TV and other junk into prominent UI positions, as I assume the investors and MBAs demanded.
It was released and universally criticized. So Plex’s team thought long and hard about that user feedback - ok, ok, sorry, I couldn’t make it without laughing. They changed nothing and pushed forward and now it hit Roku, with no way to decline or roll back.
It took me just a few minutes to set up. 4 folders, TV, Videos, Movies, Music
Sorry, did you mean a lifetime membership to Jellyfin? Because I don’t think there is such a thing…
The lifetime membership to Jellyfin is on Github in the form of a GPL license and the source code. I’ve got a lifetime membership to Jellyfin and it didn’t cost me a dime.
Erst vor kurzem gewechselt. Geht schon gut, diese Geleefloße
I raise you multi-language content or a mixed Australian/US-Broadcast Mythbusters collection 😐
And I raise you Pokémon. Holy mother of fuck that’s messed up. Some episodes switched around for foreign distribution, some removed, and two seasons put into one, making the entire ordering one season and three episodes off. Had to manually edit nearly everything after Sonarr tagged them because Sonarr used the UK tvdb ordering iirc (the UK removed a couple episodes) but my source used Japan (scene) and Emby used US tvdb. Something like that
Feast your eyes on this shitshow (use desktop mode if on mobile)

Ouch, my condolences.
It’s fascinating that it took me longer to scroll through that than most people have or ever will spend on watching the show.
Just give up and get streamlined mythbusters. Easier to watch anyway.
I (partially) blame tvdb for this mess. SpongeBob has every story listed as a separate episode, but good luck finding any source that doesn’t bundle these up.
Meanwhile, the list for Kaguya just bundles all stories aired together in a single episode (thankfully).

Futurama is also a pain to organize.
This is a very niche meme. I love it.
The Repair Shop was a real pain in the ass to import since they apparently run multiple seasons concurrently for some reason.
American dad being screwy is what got me to finally setup Jellyfin. I was just using Stremio for everything but the jumping around because of season misnumbering was bad
The bane of my existence before it hit Paramount+
Now you can find individual episodes as WEB-DL
Good shout. I basically put the show on hold until something like this happened. Do you know if the first 4 or 5 seasons are available?
