How to auto download with *arr? (sh.itjust.works)

Update: it was an issue with API keys due to a previous install.

Update 2: new problem, qBittorrent has an I/O issue, probably involving the final destination for the media: my Synology NAS. Any advice here is appreciated.

Update 3: I was having issues with mapping my Synology NAS as the root folders, so I restarted the *arrs and now they are unreachable. The solution was to reinstall them without uninstalling them because my computer is weird.

Once a year I try setting up Prowlarr, Sonarr, and Radarr and I felt confident so I reinstalled them. The *arrs are connected to qBittorrent (all tests succeeded) and Prowlarr (again, tests succeeded) and vice versa. I added every indexer that I could successfully connect to (which was most of them) and currently have all of the web UIs open : which work as expected. Everything seems to be communicating and functioning as intended so I tested Radarr. I found a popular movie and started monitoring it, this was about 30 minutes ago. It hasn't shown up in qBittorrent and I'm not sure what I'm missing; can someone help me troubleshoot? In other words, how do I know definitively that this movie I have selected will download and when will it download?

Maybe try it the other way like I've done?

Put the arrr stack + qbit on your Syn drive, mount the shares via NFS, and then use Jellyfin on your Windows PC?

edit: or, like you're saying you're wanting qbit behind your Mullvad put that on your Windows PC and tell Sonarr/Radarr that's where the Download Client is

Is there a benefit to having the arrs on the NAS if it's still going to have to communicate and download through the other machine anyway?

That's what I've been curious about, but even still on a DSM 223 & 418 I've found them alright to an extent running Radarr/Sonarr/Transmission.

I did however run into problems trying to use them via Container Manager aka Docker on the DSM's.

Jellyfin thou is definitely best run on something that can transcode media and the DSM's are definitely not cut out for that, and if your Windows PC has an Intel processor will see you having less issues. Good luck you ;)

So I originally had the Jellyfin running on a Win10 with GPU transcoding, but now I'm running it on a DS923+ in a docker image, and it's had surprisingly far better performance. And thank you!

Just had a nosey, that DSM 923 (Vs 423) doesn't have a discreet GPU.

What rules are you putting on your downloads from the arrr's, and do you find some struggle to transcode w/ Jellyfin?

I've had to lower the rules since it got silly trying to transcode 80GB+ files over the puny specs of the DSMs > N100 SFF box I'm testing with, and use them solely for NAS / arrrrrs. I still need to invest a little more I think :/

I followed the trash guide for the 1080p profile for TV shows and 4k for movies, haven't had any transcode issues...yet. If I have any issues though, I'm fully prepared to buy more hardware for the DS923+
