Advice on improving Plex experience? (self.piracy)

I have a Plex server running on Mac OSX. Whenever I want to add media, I remotely connect into the Mac, login to my private tracker, download the torrent, wait for it to finish, then update my Plex library.

I'm hopeful that there's an easier way. I'm imagining a way I can remotely tell the Plex server what I want to watch and it takes it from there. Does such a thing exist?

I just started using soulseek and it seems to be a lot better than what I could source through lidarr as I'm not in any music-heavy private trackers like RED and the public ones only maybe have top-40 type artists available.

Now I wish I could integrate the two because I hate having to do everything manually again along with needing to run everything through MusicBrainz Picard so that it's all tagged correctly.

Check out Soularr, pretty new, scripts to integrate slskd and lidarr, works great for me paired with Deezer downloading through arr-scripts.

Rutracker has a lot of music, as far as public trackers are concerned. One downside is that they package a lot of it as image+.cue, which is annoying to deal with
