Entropy Reduction

Personal log of yet another digital native.

Purpose

• Add a Windows node to the Tdarr setup

References

• Tdadd: Downloads
• Tdarr Docs: Windows, Linux and macOS
• Reddit: Windows Node to Windows Server Path error
• Reddit: Tdarr with network file location

Actions

• Download Tdarr_Updater win32_x64
• Unzip to C:\Tdarr\
• Run Tdarr_Updater.exe
• Edit C:\Tdarr\configs\Tdarr_Node_Config.json
• Overcautious of warning “If using backslashes in paths, make sure to use double backlashes \ or the JSON will be corrupt” on the Tdarr docs I used four backslashes as the Windows file paths i.e. \\\\[IP]\\series
• Errors
• Found this Reddit thread showing that forward slashes could be used
• Developed correct code, see code section below

Reflections

• Hard part was exposing the cache between the server SSD and the Windows node
