I see that the stremio plugin torrentio can search tv show episodes and find them inside some torrents with a lot of other files. For example, a torrent may contain a whole season of a tv show, and stremio will take just the episode you want there. Plus, it knows exactly which torrents have which episodes. This is a whole step up of covenience compared to going to a torrent site like EZTV and searching for the tv show name and getting a disorganized list of torrents.
Is there a simple low-overhead tool for doing this high-level search for movies and tv shows? Like stremio, but one that gives the magnet link for me to use in qbittorrent, of many episodes at once. In stremio i have to start streming to ask it to give me the magnet link… for each episode.
Ive looked at those selfhosted *arr tools mentioned in the megathread, but i think those are overkill for me. I dont want to host a bunch of background services on my main laptop and dont have a server nor plan to build one for this. So, does there exist a torrent search tool that nicely organizes results like stremio does? Or should I just go learn to use sonarr? (does sonarr even do what im describing).
Thanks
qBittorrent has a built-in search tool. There are several plugins you can use with it to search for content. Of these, I recommend installing Jackett—a tracker result aggregator—and the Jackett plugin for qBittorrent.
Oh, I’ll try it, thanks!
Is Hackett preferred over prowlarr? I prefer the latter, but not sure what everyone else is up to
I like the convenience of searching in qBittorrent, for which Prowlarr doesn’t appear to have an actively developed plugin anymore. Looking at a few threads on Reddit, it seems that people prefer Prowlarr in general, particularly for its *arr stack integration.
