I type it in Radarr or Sonarr and let my -arr stack work its magic. Depending on how popular a show or movie is, I can watch it in a few minutes on my Kodi TV. Wouldn’t really call it annoying.
Check out overseerr. You can search for movies or tv shows from there and it will request to radarr and sonarr for you. But what’s nice is it shows you all the popular shows, gives your recommendations, you can search by streaming service if you want.
Overseerr has been a game changer for my Plex/jellyfin which I share with 10+ friends and family. They submit tons of requests and it all automatically shows up on my nas without me needing to be bothered. I used to only download what I wanted and only take special requests and only for movies or completed series because I didn’t want to be harassed every week for the latest episode. Now my recently aired row is a constant stream of new episodes aired that week and I get friends saying “oh I didn’t know you had series x, now I don’t need that streaming service” - it’s not obvious to them still that I can get almost anything if they reauest it and overseer makes it so frictionless.
Learned my lesson on this. Ended up with a ton of 1mbps 1080p files that look terrible. All depends on what show/movie and absolutely based on what sources I had. I’m sure other people’s setups can acquire better files on average.
Understandable. I haven’t had any of those problems, even though I only use some free torrent trackers. Unpopular stuff (local shows that aren’t in English for example) can sometimes take a while, so I’m thinking of subscribing to some paid usenet indexer.

I just prefer to download manually these days.
