What are /r/Lidarr's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

although i can't say why it runs with loads of windows fpcalc is used to help identify the tracks.

the following link explains what it does

https://github.com/Lidarr/Lidarr/wiki/Health-checks#fpcalc-missing

​

the main gist of it is as follows:

" Lidarr can use chromaprint audio fingerprinting to identify tracks. This depends on an external binary, which is distributed with Lidarr for Windows and macOS but must be provided independently on Linux. "

Here ya go. It's on Git under the "Releases" tab.

Just untar it to where ever you keep things (I use the /opt structure myself) and basically the install and setup is the same as Sonarr or Radarr at that point.

You backup the binaries? why? there's no data within the bin folder, it's all within the app data folder + your media folder.

>Is this size increase normal/expected?

Yes, this is also evidenced by reviewing the zip sizes on github.

> Are the files in Lidarr/Lidarr.Update required?

Yes

> Is this just a directory for storing future updates?

No, it's the updater.

> Do the binaries there get recreated with a new update is detected?

N/A, see above and below

> Can this directory's contents be deleted?

Technically yes, but then you will always need to update manually and this is not at all advised.

So according to musicbrainz Relapse should appear as an album (and it does for me), Relapse Refill is an alternative release of that album so to select it you'd need to goto Relapse in Lidarr and click edit on the album page there should be a dropdown to pick the release where you ought to be able to select Refill. This isn't something I've actually tried I just know the setting is there.

As for Curtain Call that's listed as a compilation so you'd need to enable that in your metadata profile, be careful changing this for all artists though as you may suddenly find thousands of unwanted albums suddenly in your wanted list - hope this helps!

I haven't really set up a docker like this in unraid. All the dockers I have used had folder paths for each internal folder in the docker. You set up the path in the docker config to translate the path that the docker uses.

I just don't understand how the docker knows which folder to use if we don't give it a path to it. Or how would I bypass that? This is my docker config output info when I set the docker up:

root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name='amd' --net='host' -e TZ="America/New_York" -e HOST_OS="Unraid" -e 'DOWNLOADS'='torrentfiles/music' -e 'AUTOSTART'='true' -e 'LidarrUrl'='192.168.1.7:8686' -e 'LidarrAPIkey'='key' -e 'ARL_TOKEN'='token' -e 'quality'='320' -e 'ExplicitPreferred'='true' -e 'FolderPermissions'='777' -e 'FilePermissions'='666' -e 'MBRAINZMIRROR'='https://musicbrainz.org' -e 'MBRATELIMIT'='1' -e 'USER_ID'='99' -e 'GROUP_ID'='100' -v '/mnt/user/appdata/amd':'/config':'rw' -v '/mnt/user/torrentfiles/':'/DOWNLOADS':'rw' 'randomninjaatk/amd'

I have tried making the 'DOWNLOADS' directory the same as the /DOWNLOADS path mapping in the docker, but that didn't work either. Right now I am just trying to get the downloads to show up in the downloads folder (I had the lidarr path mapping to the same /DOWNLOADS path previously).

Looks like based on the code you can pass some page # & page sizes?

Here's the Lidarr trace log after a search for Bring Me The Horizon - Amo

https://pastebin.com/dl/wEAzWWDM

And here are the results I want from RuTracker: https://rutracker.org/forum/tracker.php?nm=Bring%20Me%20the%20Horizon%20amo

Yeah, I have tried this but the release I want to select is not available. Even inn some cases where it is available in MusicBrainz. I think Lidarr might be ignoring non-CD releases. Like for this Album I can only see one release in Lidarr, presumably the CD one https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/8cf8840b-ed61-4156-9853-10914a549e99

hey sorry just this... um go to https://musicbrainz.org/ and add it is the only thing i have been doing... know that it takes a day for two to show up sometimes. pain in the ass, but until there is something automatized not sure any other way. hope im wrong :)

You can look up the artist on MusicBrainz (https://musicbrainz.org/artist/94c338ff-1985-4429-9dc8-997b61bb5932)

Take the mbid from the URL (4c338ff-1985-4429-9dc8-997b61bb5932)

Then back in lidarr search for "lidarr: 4c338ff-1985-4429-9dc8-997b61bb5932" and it should show up.

I can't find a place to paste the song ID (It's the song not the artist ID that I need)

Sorry but I'm new to lidarr, so abit more directions would be helpfull :)

Btw its this song

https://musicbrainz.org/recording/07e12327-2607-450b-b32c-6f6d041a5d40

And also other songs that contains the "&" symbol

So i tried enabling every single option in the metadata profile and it is still not showing up. The Issue i'm running across is with Rise Against's Long Forgotten Songs: B-Sides and Covers

the album is found at musicbrainz is here: https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/afd87ac9-ab1e-4a0b-a9c4-c3302d09b160

Trace Logs of lidarr failing to work with transmission?

What lidarr version?

There's no validation for username/password. https://github.com/Lidarr/Lidarr/blame/develop/src/NzbDrone.Core/Download/Clients/Transmission/TransmissionSettings.cs

Not yet. Turning on debug logging didn't work for me, I've opened an issue on GitHub about it. https://github.com/Lidarr/Lidarr/issues/2394

Oddly enough I have a Readarr instance for audiobooks that is exhibiting the same behavior.

Please don't duplicate album releases on MusicBrainz just for Lidarr convenience. At some point in the future multiple copies of the same album is planned to be supported by the devs: https://github.com/lidarr/Lidarr/issues/729 In the meantime, messing up an already correct listing on MB is a really bad suggestion and will either get rejected outright, or worse go through be wrong. <3

Bit more info now I am not on my phone.

Looks like the Devs got fed up dealing with Musicbrainz directly and to improve performance cache responses in their API layer hopefully speeding up response times for everyone.

https://github.com/lidarr/Lidarr/issues/151

You may want to jump on the Lidarr Discord and see if there is actually a benefit on setting up a local API. I assume the Lidarr server runs Musicbrainz alongside the API so the standard Musicbrainz rate limits will not be an issue. I cannot find any details about rate limits though...

I'm running FreeNAS 11.2-U5 and just installed Lidarr the other day in it's own jail.

https://github.com/lidarr/Lidarr/wiki/Installation-(FreeBSD-FreeNAS)

I got the note that fpcalc wasn't installed so I installed that. I did install the latest version of fpcalc (1.4.3) but Lidarr is now telling me " You have an old version of fpcalc. Please upgrade to 1.4.3. "

If it's an EP, it won't get pulled by default. You have to enable that. Check out the FAQs:

It isn't free (I think it was $6 for a year), but I used Filebot (www.filebot.net) when moving to Lidarr. They have a version for all mainstream OS's

It is extremely flexible, and I found Lidarr to be pretty finicky about file / folder names. If Lidar can't match it to MusicBrainz database it wouldn't show up in your Lidarr Library.

Also use it with Movies, TV, Music Videos etc.

Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with Filebot, just a happy user.

You could probably do it with something like https://www.advancedrenamer.com - you’d just need something that’ll let you create an arbitrary rule to rename, something like “%a - %b” -> “%a/%b” if that makes sense.

Alternatively, Musicbrainz Picard is an MP3/FLAC tagger which has support for renaming files. It might be able to do folders too, perhaps with a plugin.
