    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 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.

          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.

            Your providing a free service, right?.. Dont forget to enjoy it yourself. Unless you serve 100 “friends” like everyone else. Then enjoy the money.

            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.

              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.

              Perhaps it was added later.

      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

        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.

      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.

          What about it? Genuinely… I’ve been using Rokus longer than Plex, what’s the issue with the Roku version?

        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.

    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).

    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
