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.

When international movies and series arrive in a Radarr or Sonarr library without native-language captions, Lingarr automatically translates subtitle files across dozens of languages using local AI models or cloud translation engines. Connect your existing movie and television directories to scan media folders, identify missing target-language subtitles, and generate translated caption files alongside the original video streams. Administrators can configure an ordered chain of 13 translation backends, pairing a primary engine such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral, xAI, or DeepL with automatic fallback to self-hosted LibreTranslate or local Ollama models whenever rate limits occur. Context-aware prompt templates inject preceding and following dialogue lines into each AI request so idioms, speaker tone, and timing remain natural across scene transitions, while batch translation mode processes multi-line blocks in a single call. From the web dashboard, users can browse indexed movies and episodes, trigger manual single-file or library-wide translations, and monitor active queues, progress percentages, and historical logs in real time. Scheduled background tasks and a documented REST API allow media servers to automate caption generation completely hands-free as new releases finish downloading.

ScribeCrate is a self-hosted speech-to-text API that turns recordings into transcripts, subtitles, and English translations on your own server. It speaks the OpenAI Whisper API fluently: point any compatible client at your server's address, swap in your API key, and uploads come back as text. Ask for plain text, JSON with timestamps, or ready-to-publish SRT and WebVTT subtitle files, and for long recordings the segments can stream back over SSE as they are decoded. Turn on speaker diarization and every segment is labeled with who is speaking, which makes interview and meeting transcripts readable at a glance. Choose the model that fits the job, from tiny for quick drafts to large-v3 for maximum accuracy, and run it on a modest CPU, a Raspberry Pi class ARM board, or an NVIDIA GPU. Almost any recording works: MP3, M4A, WAV, WebM, OGG, and FLAC are all accepted, and with models cached in advance the server keeps transcribing with no internet connection at all.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Radarr, Sonarr, and their sibling apps watch RSS feeds for new releases but never go back for what your library is still missing, and Houndarr fills that gap by asking them to search in small, polite batches. It reads the wanted lists of every connected Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, Readarr, and Whisparr instance and sends a few search commands per cycle, so a big backlog drains over days instead of arriving as one Search All Missing burst. Each instance has its own batch size, sleep interval, hourly cap, per-item cooldown, and post-release grace period, plus an optional download-queue limit, allowed search windows such as 09:00-23:00, and tag filters that include or exclude items. Three independent passes run per instance: missing items, cutoff-unmet items below your quality profile, and upgrades for files that already meet cutoff, with the last two off until you enable them. Sonarr, Lidarr, and Readarr can search by season, artist, or author, and search order is random or oldest-first. The dashboard shows library health, recent hunts, hourly budgets, and a cooldown schedule per instance, with Run Now buttons for on-demand cycles. The Logs page records every search and skip with its reason in a filterable audit trail that copies as TSV. A key-gated widget endpoint feeds Homepage dashboards, and built-in login or reverse-proxy authentication protects the interface.

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.

To uncover deep viewing insights and AI-powered content recommendations across your self-hosted Jellyfin media server, Streamystats delivers a comprehensive analytics and watch-history platform. Once connected to one or more Jellyfin instances using native MediaBrowser authentication, the dashboard tracks live playback sessions, per-user watch durations, device and client breakdowns, and library-wide growth metrics without requiring third-party reporting plugins. You can import existing historical logs from Jellystat or the Playback Reporting plugin so years of viewing habits carry over immediately, then explore interactive watch-time graphs, genre radar charts, actor and director leaderboards, and a yearly Wrapped summary. When you enable vector embeddings through OpenAI, OpenRouter, Google Gemini, Voyage AI, or a local Ollama model, the recommendation engine calculates cosine similarity against your watch history and explains exactly which watched movies or series inspired each suggestion. An integrated AI chat assistant equipped with thirteen specialized function-calling tools lets you search your catalog semantically, ask natural-language questions about your viewing statistics, and generate shared movie recommendations for multiple household members at once. Administrators can also mark titles as watched or unwatched with automatic watch-time inference, manage watchlists over an external API, and connect Janitorr for automated media cleanup.

Jellydash answers the questions every Jellyfin admin asks, starting with who is watching right now and whether that stream is transcoding. Live cards show each session's artwork, user, quality, progress, and playback method, including the reason a transcode was needed, and live TV channels appear with real program progress. Behind the scenes, a background poller records every play even when nobody has the dashboard open, building a history you can search, filter by user or library, and export to CSV with poster art intact. Older Jellyfin or Emby Playback Reporting backups import in seconds, so years of viewing are not lost when you switch. Statistics turn that history into watch-time trends, top users, device and client activity, codec breakdowns, and transcode reasons, and clicking a chart opens the exact plays behind it. A monthly recap looks back at a finished month with rankings and daily activity, while trending and all-time most-watched strips show what your household actually loves. Optional pages follow Jellyseerr requests as they arrive and read the status of SABnzbd, qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, and NZBGet clients without ever touching their queues. Server activity, maintenance tasks, and system status stay one click away, and selected users can be excluded from monitoring entirely. When someone presses play, a notification can reach your phone through Telegram, Pushover, Discord, ntfy, Gotify, or Web Push.

Jellystat is a self-hosted media analytics and live session monitoring dashboard for Jellyfin and Emby servers that turns raw streaming activity into detailed user, library, and playback insights. Media server administrators use the live dashboard to watch active streams in real time, inspecting transcoding status, client devices, bitrates, and playback progress as sessions happen. Every completed or partial stream is logged automatically so you can browse chronological watch histories, filter by library or stream type, and analyze peak concurrent streaming hours across the week. Dedicated library and user views break down total watch duration, play counts, and most popular movies, episodes, or music albums per account. If you already use the official Jellyfin Playback Reporting or Statistics plugins, you can import existing historical records directly into your instance without losing past data. Built-in database backup and restore tools, automatic library synchronization tasks, IP geolocation via MaxMind GeoLite, and interactive Swagger API documentation at the /swagger endpoint round out the administrative toolkit.

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.
