I’m tired of being screwed over so I’m done. So far I have:
- Installed YouTube music and YouTube via Morphe
- Installed uBlock Origin, Sponsor Block and YouTube Enhanced on Firefox
- I’ve also installed YT-DLP to download videos if I have to.
Yet to do:
- Work out the best app for my Nvidia Shield Pro 2019
- Work out if there are any alternatives or way to still use my google nest minis in any way.
Does anyone have any advice or tools to help improve the experience?
Finally I have to add that I do also have a full ARR suite installed and setup on a raspberry pi for but I’ve always found Lidarr to be the weakest of the bunch. Works a treat for my TV shows and Music
I couldn’t get Lidarr to work very well so I started using Soulseek. Highly recommend it!
They are not even close to being the same…
The closest topic they share is being about music.
You can use slskd as a source in lidarr to download from soulseek. Gives you the nice *arr format and auto downloads, but connected to soulseek you actually get results to download.
Slskd is a plugin which isnt officially supported. So no support in the discord if you have to ask about issues.
I really hate that all the support channels are moving to discord instead of the web where you can just search and find the answers, because it’s almost a guarantee that someone else already had the problem and it got answered. And you used to just be able to Google to find the answer. Now every question is, this is a support question, closing the thread go to discord.
Discord is the equivalenf of “I need support now”.
Sort of like a lifeline for personalized issues.
Sometimes self inflicted.
Your described issues are something else. Something that is worthy a git issue.
Yes it annoys me to. But there are channels for each topic. And to be fair, a forum aint exactly support friendly for on-demand questions.
Huh, I’ll have to try that out. Thanks!
Yeah Lidarr is just not that good, thanks for the recommendation.
Lidarr is also no source but a search engine. If you don’t supply it with indexers it’s of course “shit”.
Same as the eternal issue of bing vs google as a search engine.
Comparing apples and oranges…
Hi. I’m not saying it’s shit. I know you need an indexer. I just wasn’t a huge fan of how it oragnised music and it struggles with discs with multiple artists etc. Maybe I didn’t know hoe best to utilise it properly, which is most likely the case.
It doesnt organize what musicbrainz isnt providing. And it does what musicbrainz does.
The main artist is the sorting artist.
Additional artists are just that. Additions.
If it is an even collab, it’s either under ‘Various Artists’ or on the other artist.
Does it bother me? Yep.
I think how Spotify does it, it’s better (listing all artists on the album). But that’s now how the industry seems to work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Keep in mind, if your VPN only has one port you can forward, which is likely to be the case, you have to choose between Soulseek and your torrent client.
