Rewindarr
Spotify gets a Wrapped; your media server deserves one too. Rewindarr is an open-source companion for Plex and Jellyfin that turns play history into a story your users step through, card by card: total watch time, how it split across movies, shows, and music, how they rank against the average viewer, and the viewing personality their habits earn them, ending in a summary they can save as an image and share. The same deployment doubles as an everyday dashboard for the whole server, with watch time, requests, library size, and per-library leaderboards for movies, shows, music, and users across a week, a month, a year, or all time. Live activity shows what is streaming right now, and searchable history groups binges together so a weekend disappears into one tidy entry. Ratings from TMDB, IMDb, and Rotten Tomatoes sit beside every title, request buttons reconnect viewers with deleted favourites through Seerr, and anonymisation trims user details when you share the dashboard wider. Statistics flow in from Tautulli or Tracearr for Plex and from Tracearr for Jellyfin, everyone signs in with the Plex or Jellyfin account they already have, and the installable app works on the TV-side phone as happily as on a desktop. 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.
Cliparr
You are halfway through a film when a scene begs to be shared, and Cliparr is the self-hosted clip maker that turns moments from your Plex, Jellyfin, or local video library into shareable clips without opening a full video editor. Connect a media server and Cliparr follows live playback sessions automatically, so the scene you are watching is already loaded when you decide to keep it. Local video files open directly in the browser without being uploaded anywhere first. Mark the range, fine tune the start and end, then crop the frame freely or to a fixed aspect ratio with mouse or touch controls, which makes vertical clips for phones as easy as widescreen ones. Exports run entirely in your browser as video, audio only files, or GIFs, so the server never turns into a render box and the clip lands on the device you are using. Source details, artwork, and clip timing travel inside supported containers, keeping the exported file labelled with where it came from. Captions are a first class step: write your own subtitles, import an existing file, style the text, and burn it into the picture before export. Editor keyboard shortcuts, access control, and reverse proxy support round out a tool that fits into an existing media setup instead of replacing it. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
Tautulli
Plex's own dashboard shows current streams and forgets everything else - which is why every Plex server admin eventually installs Tautulli, the analytics layer. This Python web application (descended from PlexWatch and Headphones) logs complete watch history - what was watched, who watched it, when, where, from which device and IP, and whether it played directly or transcoded - and turns it into clean Highcharts graphs of daily plays, concurrent streams, bandwidth, and platform breakdowns. The home page surfaces top statistics over configurable windows: most-watched content, most active users, stream type ratios. For running a server shared with family and friends, this is operational truth: spot the user forcing 4K transcodes on a phone, see which libraries earn their disk space, and track sync activity across users. The notification engine triggers on server events - playback starts, transcode decision changes, recently added media, server down - through dozens of agents (Discord, Telegram, Slack, email, webhooks) with fully customizable text and conditions, plus arbitrary script execution. Scheduled newsletters email your users a styled digest of recently added content. A comprehensive API exposes every statistic for dashboards like Homarr, and an official mobile app monitors activity on the go. Themed to match Plex/Web. GPL-licensed.
Halcyon Video
Friday night, 1994: you are standing in the Action aisle deciding what the weekend looks like, except the shelves are stocked with your own library and the store lives in your browser. Halcyon Video rebuilds that ritual in 3D around your Jellyfin, Plex, or Emby server, turning libraries into aisles and genres into signed sections you can walk. Pick a case off the shelf and it comes up in your hand at true rental proportions; flip it over for the synopsis, cast, runtime, ratings, and a technical table read from the actual file. Seasons arrive as box sets, popular titles sit deeper on the shelf, and the clerk behind the counter searches by title, director, or genre and recommends from your catalog and watch history. Carry an armful to the checkout and she bags them in plastic that folds around the cases, receipt and all. A RomM connection opens a games department with platform-correct cartons and clamshells, while Jellyseerr requests appear as discovery cases you can order in-store. Drive it from the couch with a TV remote, gamepad, keyboard, or phone, or let attract mode tour the floor past the ceiling CRTs. 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.
Ether
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.
Scrob
Scrob is your own private Letterboxd and Trakt: it syncs Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby libraries, tracks every movie and episode you watch, and keeps ratings and lists on your server. Connect Jellyfin, Plex, Emby, Nuvio, ARVIO, or Stremio and Scrob imports libraries, watched status, and playback progress, then pushes watched state and ratings back to keep every server aligned. Webhooks from Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby and the scrob-kodi addon mark items watched the moment playback finishes; a manual scrobble starts a live session from any title page. Rate titles on a ten point scale, score seasons separately, add reviews, and log repeat plays with their own dates. Personal lists stay private or open to other users on your instance, comments attach to titles, seasons, and episodes, and following users surfaces their ratings and activity. TMDB powers discovery: trending titles, genre and provider filters, release schedules, and search across people and collections merged with your library. Detail pages combine posters, cast, trailers, and your files' quality details, and one click sends a missing title to Radarr or Sonarr. Continue Watching and Next Up cards, a fifteen day episode calendar, and Pick a Movie or Pick a Show suggestions answer what to watch next. Trakt, Simkl, and MDBList sync moves history and ratings in both directions. 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.
Tasterr
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. 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.
Subarr
Subarr is the coordination, measurement, and quality layer for Whisper subtitle generation, sitting between Bazarr, Sonarr, Radarr, and subgen to decide what gets transcribed, in what order, and whether the result is any good. Its Coverage walk scans your whole library and scores every subtitle gap with a reason: no track, embedded-only, Bazarr-wanted, audio mislabeled, or low quality. Queue a file, a folder, or an entire series from the Library tab and watch it move through probing, transcribing, and write-back on the dashboard. The Review queue plays you the actual dialogue, picked out by voice-activity detection, so you can verify a subtitle really matches the audio language before it lands. It flags files whose default audio track is not the original language and swaps tracks in place, heading off the double-translation trap. A provider leaderboard records which subtitle sources actually deliver for your library, and the Tuning Lab lets you tune Whisper recipes against your own media. Rules and scheduled walks keep the work flowing, with Tautulli now-playing signals boosting whatever you are about to watch. Finished subtitles are written next to your media, and your Plex or Jellyfin library refreshes the moment one lands.
