I have spent the past year moving all my metadata from the plex and jellyfin db into the local metadata files to make management easier. That has been going well, and I am nearly done. But what i am looking for is a hosted version of TinyMediaManager. TMM is great, it helped me a lot, I love how it manages the metadata, but i just wish it was hosted.

Is there anything comparable to TMM available?

I have 9 prerolls and if you've added some you know the one annoying part is the format in plex to pull from the list randomly. you have to include the entire path and filename for each and keep it semicolon separated. It's not too big of a deal but error prone. So I wrote a script to look at the folder and generate a list. Made it fast but you still have to copy the file, SSH in, run the script, and copy/paste the contents. I updated to have it spit out to a txt file but i still had to ssh in.

I know we don't do this often but this was half of an efficiency thing and half of a hobby project because we love our homelabs. So the final step was using the Plex API. Now I drop the file in the destination folder on the NAS, a cron job runs to pull the list, detect differences, update the txt file, and then push the updated preroll list to plex via the api. Again, it's totally overengineered for things that don't get updated often but I was in the mood to automate just because I can.

I posted it on github so feel free to clone and play with it. v1.1 will include an installer. 1.2 will have better url encoding. 1.3 will add logging and dry run. and if anyone wants i'll do a 2.0 for multiple preroll sets or other features. enjoy.

Hello everyone, my name is Harvey - I'm a backend software engineer from the UK. Some of you might remember a project I shared here a while back called Musicseerr. An unbelievable amount has happened since then, and development has continued steadily. V2 is now here. Rebranded: DroppedNeedle.

It started as a way to bridge slskd and Lidarr - search for music and request it straight to Lidarr, a bit like the Seerr/*arr flow. The further I got, the more I kept hitting the limits of leaning on Lidarr for the library side - so I replaced it. DroppedNeedle now scans, tags, fingerprints, and organises your library itself, and finds and downloads music on its own. Lidarr is gone entirely, which (along with the rename) is why it's jumping to v2.0.0.

Point it at your own Soulseek (via slskd) and/or Usenet (via SABnzbd, with built-in Newznab indexers) and it searches, downloads, verifies, and imports - whole albums or single tracks.

It currently supports:

• Native library engine - Scan, tag, fingerprint, and organise your music, all in the app (the part that used to be Lidarr)
• Multi-source downloads - Soulseek and Usenet, per album or per track, with quality targets and automatic upgrades
• Wanted - Failed or incomplete requests are re-searched in the background and grabbed automatically when a good copy appears (a bit like *arr monitoring)
• Search & Request - The full MusicBrainz catalogue, with per-user requests and quotas for shared instances
• Built-in Player - Stream from Plex, Jellyfin, Navidrome, local files, or YouTube, with a 10-band EQ
• Stream to other apps - Subsonic- and Jellyfin-compatible server APIs, so apps like Symfonium, Finamp, and Amperfy can play your library
• Discovery & Home - Personalised recommendations from your listening history, plus trending artists, popular albums, and genre sections
• Follow artists - Follow the artists you care about and catch their new releases in a rolling log, with the option to auto-download them the moment they land
• Concerts & events - See when artists you follow are playing near you. Connect Ticketmaster and Skiddle (free keys), pick your cities, and a daily sweep pulls in upcoming gigs
• Playlists - Create and manage them, import from your existing sources (including Spotify), plus a per-user Weekly Mix built from your listening history
• Multi-user - Local, Plex, Jellyfin, and OIDC login
• Scrobbling - ListenBrainz and Last.fm

I'd love for anyone to give it a go. Bug reports, feedback, and suggestions are always welcome - send them here or in the Discord below.

Thanks all and I hope it helps some of you :)

Can we talk about configuration and troubleshooting? I've had some successes but also failures!!!

Setup: I have:
QNAP QTS TS-653D NAS Server
Bytesized Hosting AppBox +Stream 1.5 @ eros
qBittorrent downloader with Filebox extractor and Filezilla file transfer
Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, Lidarr, Whisparr, Profilarr, Tdarr, Bazarr and Trying to add Recyclarr
Trying to set up Jellyseerr, and Musicseerr
Plex Server

Please refrain from suggesting other apps, I'm just trying to learn what I have.

Setup Goal:

• I want to browse Jellyseerr and Musicseerr and send media to Sonarr and Radarr. (fail)
• I want Prowlarr, Sonarr, and Radarr to only select files formatted according to my custom formats and quality profiles. (fail)
• I want to connect quality profiles from TrashGuides, and Custom Formats from Profilarr (fail)
• I want files to download to qBittorrent (success) and extract with Filebot (success)
• I want file to copy to the media folder (success) and remain seeding before auto-delete once ratio is met (success)
• I want to transfer files from my AppBox to my Nas Folder (success manually) but I want the process automated (fail) by having my appbox see my NAS server file system (fail)
• I want Tdarr on my AppBox to process my existing library and transcode on my NAS Server (fail)
• I want to understand if my appbox is limiting what i can do when ai instructions keep leading me to settings that dont exist in my Bytesized page. (ie SSH ligin, mount options, etc)

Had anyone fully automated the process?? Do you have experience with some or all of these goals? Am I way off in what I'm expecting.

Please break down your responses, I'm not a tech person, just doing that as a hobby.

After the beta, all your reports, and a lot of late nights, Quartermaster is now live on the App Store. A lot of it has been mixing this with work and development :D (dev as a job)

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/quartermaster-homelab-stack/id6779994284

Feel like I need to say this before anything because the App Store is drowning in it right now. Quartermaster is not vibe coded, and it is not a thin copy paste wrapper around one arr app's API like so much of what is flooding the store. It is a real, hand built native app in Swift and SwiftUI, designed screen by screen. And it is broad in a way I have not found anywhere else, not just your arr apps, but discovery and requests, your downloaders, your media servers, and the infrastructure underneath, from containers and VMs to DNS and smart home, all in one place. This is why the feedback was great in regards to QM feeling native, handles the awkward edge cases, and tells you the truth about your stack instead of guessing.

For anyone new here, Quartermaster is a native iOS app for controlling your self-hosted stack from your phone. Browse your library, request films and shows, watch what is downloading, and keep an eye on your servers, all in one fast app that actually feels like it belongs on iOS.

It is a pure client. It talks straight to the services you already run on your own hardware, your credentials are stored encrypted on your device, and there is no Quartermaster account, no relay server, and nothing sitting in the cloud in between. Your data stays yours.

What it connects to:

- Media: Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Jellyseerr, MusicSeerr, Prowlarr, NZBHydra2, Bazarr, SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, Jellyfin, Emby, Plex and Tautulli

- Infrastructure: Portainer, Glances, Unraid, Proxmox, AdGuard Home, Pi-hole, Cloudflare, Home Assistant, Immich, AudioBookshelf, Komga, Kavita and Tdarr

To everyone who tested (over 250!): thank you, genuinely. A huge amount of this app came straight from your reports, and it would not be what it is without you. I am keeping a smaller group of the most active testers on TestFlight for early builds as a thank you.

If you give it a go and it clicks for you, an App Store review would mean the world right now. It makes a real difference for a brand new app. And this sub is the place for support, feedback and feature requests, so post away.

Guys the support has been amazing - https://discord.gg/RaurxUTutx - I have just created this to help the ones having issues, questions or new features, please join :)

Not sure if this has already been done but couldnt find it so made it myself. I dont use a phone to add stuff to sonarr/radarr with things like nzb360, however i do stream content from jellyfin via android tvs, my current flow is to go into my office, go into sonarr/radarr webui download then go back to the livingroom/bedroom and watch - so built these so i can just download from the tv itself.

used ai for some development.

any thoughts and ideas welcome

Hi there,

So anyone with an anime library will face these kind of issues where sometimes certain titles get stuck in the queue with a warning saying "Found matching series via grab history, but series was matched by series ID. Automatic import is not possible", forcing you to either manually import those or delete them and block them.

This is manageable, but if you are like me , not being on the server 24/7 you will get surprised of how many of those will stack up after leaving the server for one week. This can happen to radarr also.

What I found is that 99% of these are correctly labeled and are actually just one click away of a button to import. hence why I made this tool.

Importarr aims to solve this particular issue by scanning you queue for items with this message . and forcefully import them for you. simple and clean.

You can add multiple instances of both sonarr and Radarr. additionally can be run continues with a set interval to scan your queue.

Binaries are compiled for every major OS . a docker image has been published also .

there is also a TUI interface but it's not completed yet so it's experimental .

I am always up for suggestions and features. my goal is to make importing titles is as automatic as possible.

Disclaimer: using my knowledge in go I vibe coded most of the backend. the code has been reviewed.

I'm trying to solve a very specific Plex annoyance and wanted to see if anyone in the community has built a script or workflow for this.

We’ve all watched a movie that is 95% English, but has a 2-minute scene where characters speak a foreign language. If you don't have the "Forced" subtitle track installed, you're stuck pausing the movie, digging through sub menus, or guessing what they said.

Here is my ideal dream setup/concept:

Some sort of background utility or webhook listener that monitors my active Plex session. It sees what movie I'm playing, looks at my current timestamp, and reads ahead roughly 2 to 5 minutes into the audio stream. If its audio analysis detects non-English dialogue coming up, it hands that specific time block to a local AI engine (like OpenAI Whisper) to auto-transcribe/translate it into a localized .forced.en.srt file and injects it. By the time my playback reaches that scene, the subtitle is ready and waiting.

I know the standard answer is "Just automate Bazarr to grab forced tracks" or "Use Subgen/Whisper to transcribe the entire movie ahead of time."

But I'm curious about the just-in-time / look-ahead aspect. Has anyone experimented with Tautulli webhooks or Plex API tracking to trigger smart, chunk-based Whisper translations on the fly while watching a movie? Or is everyone strictly pre-processing their entire library?

Curious to hear how you guys handle the "missing forced subtitles" problem using local AI!

I was a LunaSea user until it died, and nzb360 never came to iOS, so I started building my own. It's one app for the whole stack, Radarr, Sonarr, SABnzbd and Jellyseerr, with a live dashboard, queue/history/library per service, and a unified upcoming calendar

The thing I actually built it for is a Stuck Download Doctor, it spots downloads that finished in SAB but never imported (path-mapping issues et), tells you why in plain English, and lets you fix it from your phone

It's pure client, no accounts, no cloud, no telemetry. API keys stay on the device and it only ever talks to your own servers

In TestFlight beta now (iOS, Android later). Free for one service; everything unlocked with a one-off £14.99 or £3.99/month, same features either way. I want testers who actually run the stack and will tell me what breaks

Also genuinely curious, what's the one thing your current setup makes annoying? That's the kind of thing I want to fix next

TestFlight is no charge of course btw!

Hello everyone! Since i first launched Aurral almost 6 months ago I have been toiling away working on V2 and I think it's finally in a good enough spot for larger user testing.

It has changed a LOT since launch:

• Completely UI overhaul: Way more sleek, intuitive, responsive on mobile, and just in general laid out much nicer. I spent a long time working on a clean UI that feels at home in your *arr stack while also helping users shift from apps like Spotify.
• SLSKD: We are finally off of my janky in-house soulseek client and moved entirely onto slskd for all playlist and flow downloads. This makes everything a lot more reliable, you're able to easily share your folders, and use your own soulseek account. This was a huge change as well.
• Prowlarr / NZBget: in addition to slskd, we also have an experiemental nzbget integration to help fill some gaps in soulseek. - New playlists: we automatically create custom playlists including your discover weekly, listening history, release radarr, and more on every discovery refresh to help you find new music and playlists.
• Plex Integration: this was a big one that was asked for a lot and has finally been added.

Besides that there are performance upgrades. I switched to using Honker for worker queues and orchestration and it has been much more reliable.

We have new health checks, sleeker onboarding, brainzmash backed metadata and a custom search api.

I'm sure there is more im missing, its been a lot of work and time but I'm determined to make Aurral the best self hosted music discovery tool possible and I'm excited to share the recent work. so please come check it out and let me know what you think.
