Everyone here is talking about how to get the latest and best stuff, but no one is talking about how they actually manage it 😜

So, how do YOU manage your Movies / Shows / Music / eBooks / Games?


I begin:

  • Plex for Movies / Shows / Music
  • Kavita for eBooks and Manga
  • Romm for my Gamecollection and Roms (it supports PC games aswell)

Plex for streaming Movies / TV / Music Radarr / Sonarr / Lidarr + Prowlarr I use calibre to manage my ebook library and calibre-web to serve it haugene/transmission-openvpn + a VPN

I switched from Plex to Emby a few years ago after some Plex changes really made me frustrated with it.

I've been loving Emby.

Any distinct advantages over Plex that you’ve noticed?

Movie/shows download via pyload since one-click hoster is cheaper than Usenet. And I collect them in german/english. Torrents are not so wide spread for that combination.
Kodi for tagging.
Music per Lidarr/Jackett/Deluge/nzbget/OpenVPN primarily Usenet + occasionally torrent.
Tagging by beets because of its discogs plug-in since it is much better than musicbrainz on obscure music.

I have to disagree on the movie/shows part here. IMHO Usenet is way cheaper than this horrible file hosters. And one needs more than one file hoster too. There are also plenty of German private torrent trackers out there. File hosters lack automation, it's just horrible annoying to download everything by hand and solve Captchas all day AND EVEN PAY FOR THIS EXPERIENCE.

I organize all my games with Lutris, and my music library with Sayonara (the closest thing I've found to the era of Winamp I knew and loved). I don't have enough stuff to require any further automation.

How's Romm? It's available for truenas and I'm looking for a good way to store and play. Looks really pretty but doesn't seem to have any emulsion built in? Not looking for anything heavy just backing up all my GB/GBC/GBA, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and GC.

But to actually contribute plex has been our time sink. The lady has so many dvds and blurays I've just been working through all of it. About 8tb deep right now and it's been working great.

Romm doesn't have any emulation built it. It is not made for that. It's simply to catalogue all your stuff and make it easy to manage and download them on any of your devices. That's it.

On the roadmap there is a savegame manager aswell but i don't know when this comes and how good it will turn out. I don't even think i'd use this but let's see...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sonarr/radarr with rdtclient(real-debrid torrent client) for public torrent links, Qbittorrent vpn for private trackers, and then sabnzbd for usenet.

I mainly use this all for anime because it's harder for me to watch on the fly through kodi. Jellyfin for playback

I also use Kodi with seren and Real-Debrid for everything I don't wanna store.... Which is most of it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I just use Real Debrid and Google Drive tbh

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Jellyfin for my media, and that's about it. I don't have local music, ebooks etc. As for games, I just use Steam but have backups of some of my GOG games.

@RandomLegend Here's how I do stuff:

  • I use Calibre for books
  • I use Shotwell for photos and videos
  • I use Audacious for music
  • For moving and deleting files around, I just use the regular file manager. I put music in Music, photos in the Pictures folder, videos go to Videos, documents go to Documents etc.

Haven't had to save any files lately except my favs. Stremio + torguard VPN on a Chromecast TV works amazingly well once you add some custom torrent sites.

+1 for stremio - if paired with google drive too, its amazing
