Are there any functional alternatives to Lidarr that function similarly? (Integration with the *arr stack, integration with download clients. I doubt there’s another that would integrate with something like Jellyseerr or Ombi, but that would be a huge perk.)

    Says who? A pull request?
    If there is a beta/nightly branch I can install, I’ll be glad to use that so I can finally import the music I have acquired so far.

      Apparently they keep posting updates on their discord for some reason. This is the last response someone shared on github:

      Hi everyone, it’s July 25. Yesterday, the devs and mod team here have begun (early) alpha testing of the new Lidarr metadata server.

      In general, things are working fairly well. There are a few issues to resolve before it can go live. But we wanted to let everyone know that we have some concrete forward movement happening behind the scenes.

      NOTE: This stage of testing is NOT OPEN to users. We appreciate your patience, but at this stage you cannot help. This update is meant to let you know that the project is not dead, as some have incorrectly theorized, and that there is behind-the-scenes work heading toward getting the new metadata server up and running as quickly as possible.

      Please continue to be patient, and continue to use this channel for Lidarr support questions. If you have other conversation topics, please use ⁠general or another more appropriate channel for that.

      Thank you from the devs and mod team.

        Yeah…I saw that update. But I wouldnt count an update from the end of July recent in any capacity.
        Because this sort of message has been repeated since the beginning of July with minimal changes to the content.
        It’s mostly a “We are still alive and sometimes working on it”.

        No issues with that. It’s their volunteered free of charge time they are giving for our entertainment. Which I heavily appreciate. It’s just a bit annoying how little information they give out (and their, sorta understandable, tone used in their support channel).

          They’re standing up a new metadata server, which takes time. What more information are you expecting from them? I mean I suppose they could just lie and say sure it’ll be up next week, but it would be a lot more frustrating for them to keep saying that and pushing back the date.

      Says the official support channels, which you should be checking for information anyway, unless your only intention is to scream your frustration into the void. If that’s the case, best of luck on that resolving anything.

      ETA: like I said, it’s a closed beta, so not something you can install. And it won’t be a pull request because this fix won’t require an update to Lidarr, it’ll just start working again when the new server is done.
