    If nothing else, use Sonarr! Once you add a tv series to the monitored list, it’ll automatically search/find/send the latest episode to your torrent client. There’s something special about not having to think about it. Movies are pretty hit-or-miss, I’ve had Back To The Future on deck for a while now, but all it’s finding are Blu-ray files too big for my zimaboard to transcode.

      I’m thinking about getting a Zimaboard as well (for full *arr suite with media streaming to my TV) - how do you like it so far? How is your experience with media streaming (Pley or jellyfin) with files other than big blu-ray files?

      Check you quality profiles, and filesize setting.

      This used to happen to me. Now I have a setting for either 1080/2k and 15gb max file size and if that doesn’t get hits I set it to any or 720 and take whatever it gives.

      I started using a rbp3 with librelect or whatever and had trouble with playback. So I moved to a used mini office PC off eBay and use Kodi on Ubuntu or fedora. (Ubuntu has easier access to some of kodis packages.) I had to build some packages for fedora Kodi addons. Windows would probably be easiest but I find it harder to navigate with a miniremote.
