Common Issues

Issue 1: Can't connect to http://localhost:7878/

Solution:

• Double-check if Radarr is running by running "sudo ps aux|grep Radarr". If it is running, try connecting to it using the local IP address of the Debian system.
• Verify if port 7878 is not blocked by the firewall. Run the command "sudo ufw status" to check the firewall status.
• Check for typos in the URL.

Issue 2: Error message "No suitable package found for libmediainfo0v5".

Solution:

• Add the non-free repository to the Debian package manager by adding the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list file:

deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster main contrib non-free

After the above steps, run "sudo apt update && sudo apt install libmediainfo0v5" to complete the installation.
