Prowlarr vs Built-in Newznab

[steve1123456]

Hi there,

I'm currently running a couple of indexers via Prowlarr, and Prowlarr is connected to Shelfmark. I see there is now the option to add indexers directly view Newznab.

I was wondering if there's any guidance as to which method is better? Pros/cons? I suppose Prowlarr is nice to have everything centralized, but am I missing out on anything by not using my Indexers directly within the built-in Newznab component in Shelfmark?

Thanks in advance! Loving Shelfmark!

There is no real benefits of one or the other, we have both options because some people like having a centralized Prowlarr and some other just need it to work quickly without extra with Newznab
I think technically, Prowlarr is better because it gives you more flexibility in your configuration, but it's a steeper learning curve
So I would just use whatever your are most comfortable with !
