![]() I simply have a customised amc script run as a postprocess script from my torrent client, this also means I don't -have- to add files through sonarr/radarr for them to be automatically sorted into my library, and gives me complete control over the postprocess procedure (telling Plex to scan, telling ombi to update, seperate sorting for 4K files, etc). I actually still use filebot with sonarr/radarr, they're great for finding/grabbing files but I prefer the flexibility of filebot for naming/sorting, it's a very powerful tool once you dive into it. The automation software just plays catch up whenever it detects your torrent client is back up, so there's no downside to just leaving sonarr/radarr running all the time and just launching the torrent client/VPN whenever you want. ![]() It then downloads locally to the gaming PC and Sonarr/Radarr transfers it automatically to the Plex server overnight. My personal setup includes running the automation software on my gaming PC and just booting up the VPN and torrent client while I sleep. While you can technically have the Plex server on the same VM server that is doing the automation, I choose not to as to have maximum bandwidth from the Plex server (so s not to be VPN limited) and to not have to deal with VPN port forwarding. That way you can safely download/upload while also pushing the downloads to your Plex server. There are ways to automate that, but for the tutorial I simply have a VM that runs a VPN with local network access turned on. If they require access outside the home wifi, then I can pass them a set of VPN keys and they can connect to home any time with the added benefit that they can access samba shares and a printer on the home network too. Now that it's all set up I can just link family to the server address and they can load the feed into the podcast app of their choice. I also had to write a little bash script to properly iterate through the files of a directory and it's subdirectories to touch each one and pause, so that dir2cast would load the files into the xml feed in the proper order. I also don't have a static IP address, but lucky I'd long ago set up a forwarding service with. I chose Oracle's Virtual Box for familiarity, but you can use the VM server of your choice. So, I created a small virtual machine whose only job was to be that certificate authority during setup of the VPN keys and then shutdown. But, to do that properly I needed a Certificate Authority. So, I installed an OpenVPN server (something I'd wanted to do properly anyway for a while). I got frustrated at not being able to access this podcasts outside my home network, but I didn't want to expose the files or the server to the world. This of course requires running a webserver with php support (I used Apache but Nginx would work too). ![]() I used dir2cast to create a local podcast for each of the audiobook series I had.
