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)

I only really run a server of TV Shows and movies. I use Jellyfin, just personal preference. It’s only really effective for use on the home network, but my smart TVs all have my own personal streaming service.

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

TV/Movies: lookmovie2, sflix, 9anime (I only stream)

Music: Deemix and Musicolet

Manga: Kotatsu

Books: Libgen and Book Reader unless my local library has it.

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.

[-] jpants@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

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

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 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.

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.

[-] Dumbkid@lemmy.dbzer0.com 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

[-] jpants@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I just use Real Debrid and Google Drive tbh

[-] LoganNineFingers@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Will Kavita handle audiobooks too?

[-] RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Not as far as I know.

Audiobookshelf is top notch for that

[-] LoganNineFingers@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I really like the look of this but unfortunately I run windows

[-] monkeyman512@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Maybe look into setting up Docker in Windows.

[-] MonitorZero@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

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...
