I have an Arr setup with Plex and it's great. Basically I add a TV series or movie to Sonarr/Radarr, they will then use Prowlarr to find torrent, then it will get sent to my torrent client, and then Plex will eventually show the content. It's one of my favorite things that I have setup.

I started pirating 30 years ago, sharing floppies. Since then I've gone through every method imaginable, from IRC to eMule, from Mega to Usenet, and the Arr setup is the very first time I can delegate downloads to another family member sitting on the couch: that's how smooth it is.
The only difference to your setup is that I use Jackett instead of Prowlarr, configure NZBGeek directly on Sonarr/Radarr, and use Kodi instead of Plex.
Ah, and nzb360 (or LunaSea) on people's phones. That's what makes it so any normie can use it. So long, streaming service salad!
I use nzb360 with my server. It's been great but the hard drives fill up fast
I have never found a good guide to set up Sonarr/Radarr that simplifies it enough for me to do it. I've had a plex server running on an ASUSTOR NAS for years but I'm afraid of causing havoc with it if I try to install those. Do you know a good guide?
I just installed them through docker and winged it from there. It seems like their wiki has a good in-depth guide. https://wiki.servarr.com/
As a further question to OP's above- does anyone have any recommendations for sites that have movies/tv that are in decent quality (1080p) but aren't necessarily blu ray quality so that I can fit more on a HDD? For instance, I want to download certain films in 4k that I absolutely love but for stuff that I'm indifferent on or I don't need to be in 4k (sitcoms like the office) I want them to take as little space as possible
You’ll generally want to look for h265 or HEVC in the description. These are newer codecs that preserve more quality in smaller file sizes. Neither will play on a Raspberry Pi if that’s a concern.
it is not. I would love to do a raspberry pi setup but I can't find anywhere that either a) has them in stock or b)has them in stock and doesn't charge an arm and a leg.
I really appreciate it though, I'll definitely check this out for some of my series that I don't need in 4k
I think they do actually work with a 4, but not the 3b that I tried on.
oh nice, thanks for letting me know!
1337s is probably the best public tracker for h265
Kodi and Jellyfin are great alternatives to Plex. Look around a bit.
I have VLC on my phone and my computer. If I don't need subtitles then I simply use VLC on my phone to cast the video file on my computer to the television.
All devices are on the same network. If the file has subtitles I need then I use Videostream but that requires some additional downloading to get it to work on the network so I only use that when subtitles are absolutely needed.
In terms of an app to stream on Android TV, I currently use OnStream: https://onstream.to I would recommend installing it on phone, then create an account, then link it to TV app if you want sync and watch list.
For sources, as others recommended, use Prowlarr. I am using all the free public indexers along with Radarr and Sonarr.
Onstream downloads keep failing, is there a way I can find out why and how to fix it? I've looked and can't find any answers so far
I've only streamed using the app. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
