Yes the ARR stack works flawlessly in docker on Linux. Paired with qbittorrent and even public trackers you can watch to your hearts content. Its important to use a VPN if you don’t want to get disconnected from your ISP.

ARR stack. 1000%. Do this. I can’t believe it’s works this easily.

In this day and age, the question should no longer be “will run on Linux?”, rather “what’s the best method for doing on Linux?” Because - again, in this day and age - Linux is extremely capable and runs damn near the entire internet.

best way to play back HDR movies, especially Dolby vision, is to dual boot LibreElec, specifically THIS build that is getting DV+FEL to work on intel, amd and nvidia graphics. within a standard Linux operating system these days you can get easily basic HDR working in MPV or kodi etc, but more advanced formats are poorly supported. that said, a decent modern TV can usually run jellyfin, plex, emby, kodi etc. and play the files directly off your computer via SMB/NFS or a usb disk with reasonable format support. getting full lossless atmos audio and the best HDR support requires specific dedicated players, or the libreelec option above if you are OK dual booting.

works on my jellyfin with the two computers in my family with hdr monitors, and the newer tv with hdr. the older one struggles to play hd sdr video but possibly it could still be used as a monitor and have an sbc capable of hd hdr playback actually play the stream.

MPV has excellent HDR support on Linux. I don’t have any HDR displays, but so far it has properly tone mapped every HDR format that I’ve tried.

If it matters, I am on Fedora silverblue. It does. HDR isn't really well supported on xorg-based systems. Fedora has Wayland though, which handles HDR better. HDMI This also matters. HDMI 2.1 isn't supported on amd systems just yet. It doesn't matter unless you want 144hz at 4k, but it does matter. Linux does a better job of supporting displayport, but tvs don't usually have displayport inputs.

I have my Linux PC connect to TV via HDMI and AVR. I just enable HDR in settings then play my movies with MPV. Works perfectly fine. Only a minor issue with AMD GPUs, I have enabled HDMI 2.1 FRL for my kernel to get full RGB, not sure if that’s possible on Silverblue but it should be enabled by default by Linux kernel 7.4 or something.

I don’t have a graphics card and my 6th gen intel processor doesn’t have HDR capabilities. So i just use my plex server to watch HDR movies on my smart tv’s and they work great. My TCL tv will tell me as soon as the movie starts if it’s Dolby Vision, HDR, HDR10, or HDR10+ which is really nice. My Hisense TV doesn’t do that.
