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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

Nowen Video turns the hard drive of films and series sitting on your NAS into a streaming service your family actually wants to open, posters, seasons, and all. Point it at your media folders and it scans the usual formats, reads streams with FFprobe, and scrapes rich metadata from TMDb, Douban, TheTVDB, Bangumi, and Fanart.tv, recognizing movie, season, and episode naming as it goes. NFO files and external subtitles are honored, filesystem watching keeps the library current, and collections plus episode navigation make a big archive feel curated rather than dumped. Pressing play is where the engineering shows: a server-side planner decides per client whether to direct play, remux, or transcode to HLS on demand, with automatic fallback when the first choice fails. Hardware acceleration through the GPU keeps transcoding cheap, subtitle and speed controls ride along in the player, and a local analysis pass can surface highlight clips from your own footage. Every family member gets favorites, watch history, and continue-watching progress under their own account, while library permissions decide who sees what. An Emby-compatible API even lets clients like Infuse connect as if it were an Emby server.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Stalled torrents, malware-laced archives, and failed imports can quietly paralyze an automated media server, and Cleanuparr eliminates those bottlenecks as an autonomous download queue manager and library seeker for the entire Servarr ecosystem. Connecting directly to Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Whisparr, Sportarr, and LazyLibrarian alongside qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, rTorrent, uTorrent, and SABnzbd, its configurable Queue Cleaner tracks slow transfers, stuck metadata downloads, and import failures using a strike system. Once a problematic download reaches its strike threshold or triggers the Malware Blocker against deceptive .lnk and .zipx payloads, Cleanuparr purges the offending files, blocklists the release, and instructs the media manager to search for a clean replacement. Beyond defensive queue hygiene, the built-in Seeker proactively searches your libraries for missing episodes or movies, hunts for Cutoff Unmet quality upgrades, and tracks Custom Format score distributions over time. Storage administrators can also enforce seeding duration limits, clean up orphaned torrents without breaking active cross-seed hardlinks, and quarantine unclaimed directory files before they consume disk capacity. A live web dashboard visualizes manual intervention alerts, strike histories, and searchable application logs while dispatching instant notifications through Apprise, Discord, Gotify, Notifiarr, Ntfy, Pushover, and Telegram.

Automating media server storage reclamation, Maintainerr is an open-source library maintenance platform that identifies unwatched, abandoned, or stale movies and shows across Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby and clears them on a schedule. Storage drives fill up rapidly when household members request four-season series or high-bitrate films, watch a single episode, and abandon the rest indefinitely. Instead of forcing administrators to audit disks by hand, the rule engine evaluates metadata from your media server alongside Tautulli watch histories, Seerr and Ombi request records, and Radarr, Sonarr, or Sportarr profiles every eight hours. Matching items enter a staging collection that syncs back to your media server home screen as a Leaving Soon row, complete with dynamic poster overlays displaying the exact removal date so viewers have a grace period to finish watching. Before enabling any destructive workflow, you can run the Test Media inspector against any movie or episode to preview rule evaluations and protect favorites with global or per-collection exclusions. Once the countdown expires, the collection handler deletes or unmonitors files, updates import-list exclusions so automated lists never re-download removed titles, clears orphaned requests in Seerr and Ombi, removes leftover sidecar folders, and dispatches alerts through Discord, Slack, Telegram, Pushover, Gotify, Email, or webhooks.

Subtitles are the one chore Sonarr and Radarr leave behind - Bazarr finishes the *arr media stack by automating them. It connects to both via their APIs and mirrors their libraries - it doesn't scan disk itself, it manages exactly what your *arr apps index. For every monitored episode and movie it checks existing internal and external subtitles against your language profiles, then hunts missing ones across dozens of providers - OpenSubtitles.com, Podnapisi, Addic7ed, Subscene, and many regional sources - covering 184 subtitle languages including forced/foreign-dialogue tracks. Matching is smarter than filename guessing: releases are compared by release group and source, some providers support exact file-hash matching, and every downloaded subtitle gets a percentage score. Set a minimum score per Sonarr/Radarr connection and Bazarr rejects weak matches; enable upgrades and it replaces previously downloaded subtitles when better ones surface. Out-of-sync files get fixed too - automatic subtitle synchronization realigns timing after download, triggered only below a configurable score threshold so good subs aren't touched. Per-show and per-movie language configuration, download history, manual on-demand search, and adaptive searching that throttles provider API calls round it out, all behind a clean Sonarr-style web UI written in Python. If your library serves multilingual viewers, this removes the last manual step.

Muxarr cleans up your media library by stripping out the audio and subtitle tracks you will never use, so players stop offering twenty subtitle options and the wrong dub. Tell it which languages you actually watch and read, and it keeps those tracks while dropping commentary, foreign dubs, and redundant subtitles. Nothing is re-encoded: video and audio are copied as they are, so quality is identical and a large film finishes in about a minute instead of hours. Spare audio tracks alone often free ten to thirty percent of a file, which adds up quickly across a big library. Profiles apply different rules per directory, so anime, family films, and western shows can each keep different languages, with priority ordering, per-language limits, and fallback rules like English subtitles only when German ones are missing. Regional variants are understood, distinguishing Quebec French from France French or Latino from Castilian Spanish. When Sonarr or Radarr import something new, a webhook sends it straight to Muxarr, and original language detection makes sure a foreign film keeps its real soundtrack. Track names get cleaned of encoder tags, default and forced flags are fixed, and every output is validated before it replaces the original.

Instead of manually hunting for what to watch next after finishing a series on Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby, let SuggestArr turn your household's recent viewing history into automated media discovery and download requests. The platform analyzes recently watched movies, shows, and anime, queries TMDb or any OpenAI-compatible LLM (including Ollama, OpenRouter, and LiteLLM) for tailored recommendations with plain-language explanations, and dispatches requests straight to Seer, Jellyseerr, or Overseerr. Built-in AI Search lets users describe a mood or plot in natural language and request matching titles in a single click. Administrators can schedule recurring discovery jobs, import public watchlists from Trakt and MDBList, and enforce granular filters for minimum ratings, release years, genres, and regional streaming service availability so you never download content you already pay to stream. Smart request controls pause jobs when Seer queues are full, require optional human approval before submission, auto-decline stale requests, and clean up unwatched suggestions automatically.

Getting non-technical friends and family onto a media server is its most tedious chore - Wizarr solves it. Instead of manually creating accounts, dictating server addresses, and explaining which app to install, you send one invite link. When the recipient clicks it, Wizarr creates their account on your server automatically - Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Audiobookshelf, Komga, Kavita, and Romm are all supported - then walks them through a mobile-first, app-like onboarding wizard: download the right client, sign in, and learn how to request movies through your Overseerr or Ombi instance, with an optional Discord server invite along the way. Invitations are genuinely manageable: set expiration dates, usage limits, passphrases, library-scoped access tiers, and time-limited memberships that end access automatically. The wizard itself is fully customizable - Markdown-based steps managed from the admin UI, organized into pre-invite and post-invite phases (terms of service before joining, app setup after), reorderable bundles assignable to specific invitation types, and combined flows for invites spanning multiple servers. Multi-server and multi-admin support manages several backends from one dashboard, SSO support is plug-and-play, and a REST API with OpenAPI/Swagger documentation covers automation. A Flask/HTMX app in a single Docker container.
