FlareSolverr VS Tautulli

What i didnt tried: - scraping and using these (single page) tokens - headless browser - web-test-frameworks like selenium (programmable browser) - using Flaresolver (my best bet) https://github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr . A headless browser / proxy developed to bypass cloudflare. You can easily deploy it onprem with docker. I know google got its own defence machanisms, but i've got very good experience using it for scraping and crawling (at least cloudflare protected) websites. So i guess its very good at pretending being a normal browser, being a normal user.

Prowlarr & Flaresolverr to handle indexers for Radarr/Sonarr.

In terms of rate limiting and IP bans there is always that possibility on a VPN and it does happen but that's the great thing about VPNs is you can always just swap servers. On an automated server like a nas, a server restart will take care of this issue but of course until that happens some indexers may have issues. But the great thing is we have things like flaresolverr now which can mitigate these rate limit and captcha issues with various websites and I highly recommend people take a some time to set it up. How I see it if you are using a residential IP that never changes, the risk of rate limiting or IP bans becomes more of an issue because it is longer lasting or permanent. So in my opinion the security and privacy benefits of a VPN outweighs the possibility of some minor hiccups.

https://github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr Had to do a fair bit of debugging to find the code level changes, but you just have to update two sections.

You could also use a Cloudflare bypass tool like FlareSolverr, which is a proxy server you can use to bypass Cloudflare and DDoS-GUARD protection.

With Tautulli you have a better monitoring system than what Plex offers. Streaming history split by user, you can add notifications to a lot of services like Slack, email and so on. You can even create newsletters being sent out to users based on what was added to your server.

> How hard is this to configure?

Not at all. Just ensure that you have WoL enabled on the host machine and than proceed to send a magic packet. You could even do this with Home Assistant [1] if you are into that. I did this with a script that used tcpdump to monitor for incoming traffic [2] for Plex with an additional (dummy) Plex server on the Pi. I also remember faintly that I had to add 1 library and 1 video file to make this work though.

Powering down - or sleep - is a bit harder. I built a 'Sleep on LAN' app [3] for myself years ago that could power down (or sleep) a system on demand using a REST API. I used this and Tautulli [3] with Home Assistant that would check if there were any active streams and if there wasn't any activity for a specified amount of time I would send a SoL request to my service.

As you can see it isn't super hard or complicated, but a bit cumbersome to find all the moving bits and make it work. But when it does, it's IMHO fantastic.

In that case then I don't think there will be an easy way to transfer the metadata unfortunately (outside of some user-created script). One option that would at least help with the manual re-entry would be to use Tautulli's export feature or WebTools-NG's ExportTools to create a spreadsheet that has all the information in one place, and should be easier to copy/paste.

Also, take a look at Tautulli, tautulli.com. Its dashboard has more info than Plex. It shows transcode speed (1.0 = real time) and if subtitles are burning/transcoding/etc.

Tautulli for monitoring and notifications, plus some scripts for "maintenance," such as killing 4K transcodes and stopping remote streams after they've been paused for X minutes. These are from the JBOPS repository.

Tautulli. There's a feature where you can trigger notifications from events on your server, not just when it's down. I'm not sure there's a function to get your server to auto restart though.

Looks like Tautulli's mobile companion app.

The data Tautulli exports is great if you want to throw it in Excel to analyze your library, or as a backup of all the content you have on your server, but isn't really meant to be imported at a later date (the exporter guide. You should instead follow the Move an Install to Another System guide to move your server data to a new machine.

I enjoy https://tautulli.com/ for looking at my server's stats
