One Ether install puts the TMDB catalogue inside your TV apps and streams titles on demand from your own accounts, holding no media files at all. It appears as a normal server inside the Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Infuse and Stremio apps your household uses, with the whole catalogue browsable as if it were local. Press Play and Ether resolves the best release across your sources, health checks it, and streams only the byte ranges the player asks for, so scrubbing lands at the right keyframe instead of restarting a download. Pull titles from Real-Debrid, TorBox, AllDebrid and Premiumize accounts, Usenet providers through a built-in Newznab and Torznab manager, Cardigann definitions, or Stremio stream addons pasted in as sources. Released titles need no request queue: each viewer's Plex and Trakt watchlists sync in, and newly playable titles surface in a Now Available row on their home screen. A poster studio renders 4K, Dolby Vision, Atmos and rating badges onto artwork in the browser, and rule-based collections can run as 24/7 virtual channels in the Live TV guide. Subtitles arrive matched and retimed to the cut playing, with skip markers. A self-evicting cache keeps replays instant and preloads the next episode as you watch. Local playback needs no Plex Pass, and Docker runs Ether on port 32400 beside your library rather than replacing it.

Cinephage puts your movies, series, live TV, subtitles, indexers, and download clients into one self-hosted media command center instead of a stack of separate automation services. Browse and organize libraries from a responsive interface that works on desktop and mobile, with file scanning and metadata matching keeping titles identified correctly. Search across configured indexers, compare releases with quality profiles and custom scoring rules, and send chosen downloads to your client without repeating setup for each media type. Let monitoring tasks watch for missing episodes, upgraded releases, and newly aired content, while the blocklist stops failed releases from coming back. Pull subtitles from multiple providers with language profiles, create dynamic smart lists from list sources or custom queries, and add matching titles automatically. Generate streaming links as .strm files for players such as Jellyfin, Emby, and Kodi, try live TV channels with guide data where configured, and receive library update notifications in your media server.

HolyArrs replaces the usual stack of six media apps with a single web app for your movies, shows, and music. Explore works like a streaming service: browse by genre, open a title page with ratings and cast, and ask for what you want to watch. Family members file requests, and you approve them one by one or let trusted people skip the queue. Pick rules decide which release wins by size, quality, and language, then the chosen release goes to qBittorrent, SABnzbd, Transmission, NZBGet, or Deluge and is filed in your library. Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby are told when it lands. Sources can be any Torznab or Newznab indexer, or a Prowlarr or Jackett instance. A calendar tracks what is airing next for everything you follow, and global search covers your library and the wider catalog. The built-in move tool reads Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, Bazarr, Seerr, Overseerr, qBittorrent, and SABnzbd, previews the result with a dry run, and can be undone later. Stored keys are encrypted, and the old apps are only read, never changed.

Find a title tonight and wake up to it named, filed, and ready to play: Mediarium is a self-hosted media manager that finds, downloads, repairs, and organizes movies, TV, music, ebooks, and audiobooks from one web page on your own server. Search once and it queries your Usenet and torrent indexers together, grabs the best release, unpacks it, applies your naming rules, and places it where Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby expects it. Quality profiles with upgrades and fallbacks keep hunting better copies automatically, while delay profiles, a blocklist with retries, and tags such as Kids or 4K keep the wrong releases out and collections tidy. Subtitles are matched to your exact file, with a timing fix when one runs out of sync. Family accounts carry permissions of their own: relatives who cannot add titles send requests you approve, and watch history read from your media server drives statistics and optional cleanup rules. The built-in Books app reads ebooks, plays audiobooks chapter by chapter, remembers your place everywhere, and even opens Kindle books. Torrents can run behind a built-in WireGuard VPN with a kill switch, downloads repair and unpack themselves, and notifications, backups, and a post-import script keep the routine invisible. Moving over reads your Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, SABnzbd, and other existing setups without changing them. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Kaloscope manages your media library the way a flowchart thinks: search, download, scrape, rename, shelve, and play, each step a node you can see and rearrange. Drag HTTP requests, Python scripts, conditions, and loops onto the canvas to build the exact pipeline your sources need, then import community templates from GitHub when someone has already solved your problem. Global search aggregates multiple indexers at once, and finished finds flow straight into aria2, qBittorrent, Transmission, or OpenList for cloud downloading, with keyword rules and schedules automating the recurring hunts. Libraries for movies, series, and other media watch folders in real time, scrape rich metadata with custom naming rules, and read or write NFO files alongside the media. Press play in the same interface: FLV, HLS, and MP4 stream with on-demand transcoding, hardware acceleration, danmaku comments, and resume points that follow you between sessions. An AI assistant can draft workflows from plain language, inspect logs, and manage downloads, and external AI clients connect over MCP with token permissions you control. Per-library permissions, themes, and an installable PWA round out a server the whole household can use. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. GPL-3.0 licensed.

Seerr runs the front desk for your media server: friends and family discover movies and shows, request what is missing, and you approve or decline without a group chat full of titles. It unifies the Overseerr and Jellyseerr projects into one application that works with Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby alike. The discovery home page surfaces trending, popular, and upcoming titles with rich artwork, cast information, and trailers, so browsing feels like a streaming service rather than a file list. Requests can cover a whole series or individual seasons, with separate handling for 4K content when your library keeps two quality tiers. Approved requests hand off to Sonarr and Radarr automatically, and requesters watch the status move from pending to processing to available. Users sign in with their media server accounts, and administrators import those users, set per-user request quotas and permissions, and review everything from a request management screen designed for quick approvals. Watchlists and blocklists sync with your server, notification agents announce new requests and approvals through Discord, Telegram, email, and push services, and the mobile-friendly interface keeps approvals possible from the couch. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.

Browse trending titles, search anything, request it in two clicks: Jellyseerr gives Jellyfin, Emby, and Plex users a beautiful storefront for the media library. Born as the Overseerr fork that added Jellyfin and Emby support (the projects have since unified as Seerr), it handles the full request lifecycle - users authenticate with their existing media-server accounts, pick individual seasons or movies in a clean interface, and admins approve or decline from a simple queue, including on mobile. Approved requests flow straight to Sonarr and Radarr, which handle acquisition automatically, with support for separate 4K server instances. Regular library scans keep availability accurate, so users see instantly what already exists instead of requesting duplicates. A granular permission system controls who can request what - auto-approval for trusted users, quotas and limits elsewhere - and override rules adjust request routing by user, tag, or other conditions. Watchlist and blocklist functions curate discovery, notifications reach email, Discord, Telegram, Slack, Pushover, and Pushbullet, and both PostgreSQL and SQLite are supported. Localized into many languages, it turns "can you add this movie?" texts into a self-service system that runs itself.

Meridian puts all of your Emby reverse proxy sites, playback routes, and day to day operations into one clean management panel instead of a pile of hand-written proxy configs. Each Emby site gets its own entry through a path, a dedicated port, or a subdomain, with primary and backup routes that switch automatically when one goes down. Three playback modes let video stream directly to clients while logins, posters, and API calls continue through the proxy, so bandwidth lands where it should. Accounts for each site are stored with passwords and expiry dates, renewal reminders arrive ahead of time, and account details can be imported or exported as JSON and CSV. Traffic trends, per-site quotas, rate limits, and static resource caching keep busy sites under control, while log filtering and connection diagnostics show exactly where a request went wrong. Certificates are handled through Cloudflare wildcard issuance and renewal, or by uploading your own, and encrypted backups protect the whole configuration. Routine administration can even happen from Telegram, checking daily reports, adding or pausing sites, and renewing accounts from chat. The whole panel runs as one small program with a built-in database and works comfortably from a phone.

Lunarr turns the movie and TV folders you already store into a private streaming service with posters, progress tracking, and play-anywhere convenience. Point it at local disks or at libraries living on SFTP and WebDAV servers, and it scans, identifies, and decorates everything with TMDb artwork, cast pages, similar titles, and because-you-watched recommendations. Press play and the file either streams directly or is transcoded on the fly into seekable HLS, generating only the segments around the moment you are watching instead of converting whole films up front. Continue watching follows you between sessions, sidecar subtitles are picked up automatically, and known intros and credits can be skipped. Send the picture to the big screen with Chromecast or AirPlay, pair new devices without typing passwords, and hand a guest a share link instead of your account. Underneath, an admin console manages users, roles, and which libraries each person may see, watches background jobs, and holds API keys and registration settings. Rescans run on schedules you set from minutes to a month, local folders can be watched live for new arrivals, and metadata refreshes itself on a timer.

Peach is a self-hosted video library manager that scrapes rich metadata for your own collection and serves it through a polished web player you can open on any device. Point it at local drives, SMB shares, mounted cloud storage, or a PikPak library and it scans everything into one browsable catalog without moving or modifying your files. The scraper recognizes video codes, reads existing NFO files, and fills in titles, performers, studios, and cover art from multiple sources while always preserving corrections you make by hand. Playback happens right in the browser with subtitle support, variable speed, rotation, resume points, and timeline previews you can scrub through before committing to a scene. A follow system tracks performers and creators so new releases surface automatically, and the discovery views plus a want list help you decide what to add next. When something is missing, search by video code or drop in a magnet link and completed downloads are filed into the library on their own. Tagging, duplicate detection, and multi-version grouping keep large collections tidy, while the task center lets you pause, resume, or cancel scans and downloads and watch their resource use as they run. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. AGPL-3.0-or-later licensed.

Your folders are the library with MediaServer, a self-hosted player that scans the directories you already keep and serves their video and audio through a tidy web interface. Browsing feels like a personal YouTube: folders open as shelves of content, and the custom player keeps the video going as you explore what to watch next. Keyboard shortcuts drive playback, speed controls and player statistics sit a click away, and an ambient background glows behind the video. Every view is remembered: full watch history with timestamps, re-watch counts, per-user totals, and playback heatmaps replace the single watched tick other servers stop at. Metadata belongs to you: edit titles, thumbnails, tags, seasons, and release dates for videos, folders, and albums, and the edits survive files being moved or renamed. Music gets its own treatment with embedded cover art, a lyrics viewer and editor fed by LrcLib, and auto-scrolling lines that follow the song. Subtitles extract themselves from embedded and external files, folders and single videos share as readable links, and each share renders a rich preview card for Discord or chat. Behind the scenes, a dashboard manages libraries, scanning jobs, users, and server performance.

Point Emby at your movie, music, and photo libraries and it becomes a private streaming service: metadata and artwork arrive from TMDB and TVDB, everything lands in a polished browsable interface, and media transcodes on the fly whenever a client can't play the original format. The client reach is the selling point: native apps span Android TV, Apple TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Roku, LG and Samsung smart TVs, iOS, Android, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, plus web browsers and desktop apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and DLNA devices are auto-detected for casting and remote control. Multi-user support gives each household member their own account, watch history, favorites, and recommendations, with genuinely capable parental controls: content restrictions, access schedules, time limits, and live monitoring with remote control of kids' sessions. Live TV works with hardware tuners like HDHomeRun or M3U playlists, with free guide data in the US, Canada, and UK. The server and core features are free; an optional Premiere key adds hardware-accelerated transcoding, DVR recording, offline sync, and Cinema Mode intros.

Trailarr fills the gaps in your media library by finding, downloading, and organizing trailers for the movies and shows you already own, so browsing your collection feels like browsing a cinema lobby instead of a folder of silent posters. Connect multiple Radarr, Sonarr, and Plex instances and it watches what arrives, fetches matching trailers automatically, and saves them right next to your media using Plex naming conventions that also suit Emby and Jellyfin. Existing trailers are detected before anything downloads, so duplicates never pile up, and Plex Pass trailers that already meet your minimum resolution are left untouched. Custom profiles put you in charge of quality, format, and processing, including how long to wait between downloads and whether conversion happens at all. From the web interface you can search and filter the whole library, open any title to check its trailer status, swap in a different YouTube trailer ID, or trim unwanted seconds from the start or end of a clip. Path mappings translate between the paths your downloaders report and the paths your server actually uses, a classic source of broken media setups. Hardware acceleration through VAAPI on Intel and AMD keeps conversion light, Discord notifications flag important events, and an event history shows what happened and when.

The movie half of the *arr stack: Radarr is a .NET collection manager that automates acquiring films for Usenet and BitTorrent users the way Sonarr does for TV. Add a movie once and Radarr handles the rest: it monitors indexers and RSS feeds, grabs a matching release the moment one appears, sends it to SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, rTorrent, or another connected download client, then imports, sorts, and renames the file into your library structure. Quality profiles are the control surface - define allowed resolutions and a cutoff, and Radarr keeps upgrading files automatically, replacing a DVD rip when a Blu-ray release lands. Custom formats go further, scoring releases by codec, HDR metadata, release group, streaming source, or arbitrary regex so the copy you want always wins the pick. Failed downloads retry with another release automatically; a manual search shows every candidate and explains why one was skipped. Release parsing recognizes director's cuts, special editions, AKA titles, and hardcoded subs. Plex and Kodi integration handles notifications, library refreshes, and metadata like posters, trailers, and subtitles, and a calendar view tracks upcoming releases. It pairs naturally with Jellyseerr for request management and shares its API conventions with the whole *arr ecosystem.

Add a series once, set a quality profile, and everything downstream is automated: Sonarr is the smart PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It monitors RSS feeds from your indexers, detects new episodes the moment they release, sends matching grabs to SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Deluge, or another download client, then renames files with fully configurable templates, sorts them into consistent folder structures, and notifies Plex, Kodi, or Jellyfin to update the library. Quality profiles define what's acceptable (HDTV, WEB-DL, Blu-ray, up to 4K) and an upgrade cutoff - when a better release appears, Sonarr replaces the existing file automatically, stepping from HDTV to WEB-DL to Blu-ray until the cutoff is met. Custom formats add weighted scoring for finer-grained release selection, with community-maintained TRaSH Guides presets as the widely accepted defaults. Failed downloads are handled without intervention: Sonarr retries with another release, and manual search shows every candidate with the reasons any was rejected. It scans existing libraries for missing episodes, fully supports specials, multi-episode files, and daily and anime series types, and a calendar view shows upcoming episodes across every tracked show. Runs on Linux, Windows, macOS, and Raspberry Pi, and pairs naturally with Prowlarr for centralized indexer management.

Configure each indexer once, not five times: Prowlarr is the indexer hub of the *arr stack, removing the most tedious duplication in a media automation setup. Instead of configuring the same torrent trackers and Usenet indexers separately in Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, and Mylar3, you add each one once in Prowlarr and it syncs them to every connected app automatically, complete with category mappings; with Full Sync enabled, adding or removing an indexer propagates everywhere, and a tracker URL change is a one-place fix. Coverage is the deepest available: 500+ torrent trackers with definitions added constantly, 24 native Usenet indexers, generic Newznab and Torznab support for anything else, and custom Cardigann YML definitions with JSON and XML parsing for obscure sources. Built on the same .NET/React base as its siblings, it also earns a place as a search tool in its own right: unified manual search queries every indexer simultaneously at a category level, and you can push multiple releases straight to your download clients without touching Sonarr or Radarr. Health checks and status notifications flag failing indexers, per-indexer statistics track success rates and response times so you can cull unreliable sources, and per-indexer proxy support (SOCKS4/5, HTTP, FlareSolverr) handles trackers behind Cloudflare.

A headless daemon does the downloading while you drive it from any browser: Transmission turns a plain server into a private download station that needs no desktop session and no seedbox subscription. Add torrents by file, magnet link, or watch directory, then follow progress, priorities, and per-file selection from the web interface. Speed rules keep transfers polite: global and per-torrent limits, ratio targets that stop seeding at the share you choose, and scheduled alternate limits for office hours. Bad-peer blocklists, peer exchange, DHT, and protocol encryption are built in, and trackers can be edited per torrent when a swarm moves. Finished downloads can be relocated automatically, incomplete files kept apart, and new torrents queued in the order you add them. The same daemon answers the transmission-remote command line and third-party remote apps over its RPC interface, so scripts can add, pause, and inspect transfers alongside the browser. It runs on modest hardware with a small memory footprint, which is why NAS vendors have shipped it for years.

QBitWebUI is a single self-hosted dashboard that manages every qBittorrent instance you run, whether that is one seedbox or five, from one place. Instance cards show each client's status, live speeds, and torrent counts, with aggregate statistics across all of them and quick switching between instances. The torrent list brings sortable, resizable columns you can reorder and hide, filters for status, category, tag, and tracker, multi-select bulk actions with a context menu, and a details panel covering trackers, peers, files, and web seeds. Search your Prowlarr indexers from inside the UI and send results straight to the right instance, then let RSS feeds with regex auto-download rules keep recurring releases flowing in unattended. Browse the downloads directory and pull finished files or whole folders as tar archives, run an automatic cross-seed pass to match torrents across trackers, and check the connection with the network agent's speedtest, IP check, and DNS diagnostics. Edit qBittorrent preferences directly from the settings tabs, pick a color theme, and keep working from your phone with the installable PWA and mobile view.

Tasterr is a self-hosted discovery front end that learns what each person in your household actually likes and fills the home screen with movie and show rails picked for them. It reads the TMDB catalog in your chosen metadata language and merges it with your Plex, Jellyfin, Seerr, and Trakt accounts, so library titles, requests, and watch history shape every recommendation. Continue Watching pulls resumable movies, episodes, and next-up picks from Plex and Jellyfin into one rail, and Because You Watched rails spin off new suggestions from finished titles. Watched titles disappear from discovery by default, a Not interested button banishes titles for good, and My List keeps the maybes one tap away. When the household gathers, Something for Everyone Tonight blends member profiles into one shared shortlist, and Picks You Wouldn't Usually Watch deliberately wanders outside each profile. Requests flow into Seerr under the signed-in member's name, availability badges show where a title already lives, and admins tune regions, streaming services, rails, language, theme, and accent color.

Your Radarr and Sonarr libraries only grow when someone remembers to add titles, and Blockbusterr removes that chore by discovering movies and shows on a schedule and delivering the ones that pass your rules. Jobs pull trending, popular, anticipated, box-office, and list feeds from TMDB, Simkl, Trakt, and MDBList, with experimental Letterboxd lists available when enabled. Every job applies one reusable rule set: content-rating limits, blocked and allowed titles, genre, year, runtime, language, and vote boundaries decide what qualifies before anything reaches your stack. Weighted scores blend IMDb, Trakt, TMDB, and Metacritic ratings, and Smart Popular adjusts its threshold against the feed it reads. Preview mode shows accepted, rejected, and skipped titles with the reason for each decision, so a new job can be tuned safely before it runs unattended. Delivery sends movies straight to Radarr and shows to Sonarr, or creates Jellyseerr and Seerr requests when you prefer an approval queue. Per-job caps and a rolling global budget keep a busy feed from flooding disk space, and an instance-wide dry run tests the whole setup without touching your library. Activity entries and job-run history record scores, decisions, and outcomes with posters.
