I am out of the loop. What is “*arr”?

They’re media download managers where you can subscribe to your preferred media, often combined with plex or jellyfin (media servers). There’s Radarr (movies), Sonarr (tv shows), and Prowlarr (torrent/nzb search indexers). There’s also a ‘music’-arr but it’s name is lost on me.

Most likely Sonarr, Radarr they are library management and fetch apps.

A collection of tools to help you get the media you probably paid too much for anyway but didn't get since Netflix and the rest never got the message that the reason why Spotify works even if it costs more than a CD a month is because everything is there. Netflix today is just mockery, at least in Europe. That said, I don't pirate, mostly because I believe in law and order. But I certainly won't report anyone else for doing it. And if I have a chance I will vote for the guys who will crush copyright in its current form.

  I do use these apps and we basically download Netflix and (especially) Prime series that we already have subscriptions for because their apps are horrendous.

Sonarr+Radarr most likely

  And bazarr and jackett to rule them all.

    And Prowlarr, and Overseerr

      oh, thanks for mentioning prowlarr! I did not know it and it seems to be the expected replacement for jackett.

I was curious about this too, and looked into it. It's referring to a suite of piracy apps, for automatically building libraries from trackers.

  Need to note that you don’t have to use them for piracy. They also work great if you rip your own media and throw it into an import directory. As long as it’s named close enough the apps will pick it up, organize and apply and meta it needs. I use a dedicated instance just for hand ripped UHD.
