As the dude who started this thread, I’d personally like to give a HUGE hand to @Taloth and @markus101 .
Let’s not forget this is OSS, and free. Let’s not be entitled. First world problems, right?
The simple bottom line is that there is NO alternative to automatically un-rarring for windows users except if you utilize the drone factory. However, I am looking into other options, but it’s not looking good right now.
Also - @Taloth - Simple question - WHY can’t Sonarr unrar? It’s based on python right? Not to bring up our ugly step children, but CP is also Python based and did a pretty good job at it (even if it was the only thing it did well)?
I’m a sysadmin by trade, so I will never try to armchair QB those in the trenches writing this code.
Also, I’m going to re-start this discussion over on the thread I started a while back. Please post your suggestions as far as getting this done there:
