I have been using showrss for very long time to get a rss feed of my tv shows. unfortunately they dont support more than 1080p. I’ve been looking to upgrade to something that allow me to automate downloads that supports 4k and HDR releases of shows. I don’t have access to any private tracker atm.

I currently use the software flexget to automate my downloading, if that is important.

what are my options?

        It’s a simple question with a simple answer, and one that’s been asked and answered repeatedly. But I don’t think it’s a dumb question, which is why I answered it with a sufficient answer.

          yes, but my question is specifically about ‘sources’. Saying “public trackers” is like asking how to get to a supermarket and answering “use the roads”. Also a lot of public tracker sites do not have a API readily availble, hence my question.

          In the end I learned about prowlarr and jackett, which is the piece I was missing.

  • No idea regarding automation, but you can get (some) 4K TV series off rutracker (a public tracker).

    https://rutracker.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=119

    The site itself is in russian, but search queries in English work perfectly.

    Content from English speaking countries almost always (literally around ~99.9% of the time) includes the original English audio track. You will have to manually set language priority in your video client as russian audio is set as the default track, but this should be easy to do.

    Keep in mind that non-English movies/series will include the original audio and a russian dub/VO, English dub/VO will not be included. English subs are typically provided for non-English content.

    Best public tracker I can say for newly release is milkie.cc (it is actually semi-private, but they are always open)

    Private tracker currently open and will close anytime soon today or tomorrow. See if you like their content https://upload.cx/register

    If you are willing to pay, try usenet. Cost is cheap now because of black friday deals.

    Edit: Damn milkie cc suddenly closed registration after what 2 years?

    Edit1: New milkie invite code https://milkie.cc/milk/BestCowsHere

    Edit2: upload cx is now closed
