But I love my Plex! I can search for basically any movie, click "add to watchlist" and some magic happens behind the scenes and an hour or two later; that movie is in my library, ready to watch with subtitles and all. All my work buddies have the same system setup as well, so we're all sharing libraries to create an insane network of media, fit for any taste.

You can do the same with Jellyfin, to some extent. The free mobile app is the cherry on top.

  Folks stuck on Plex don't know what they're missing, and usually pay for Plex Pass.

    Paying for a lifetime pass is worth it if you a regular user.

Have a docker-compose to share? I have Plex and love it too, but that "add to watchlist" type setup seems very interesting. Any links to point me in the right direction? I used to use sonarr and radarr in the past but used those directly, not via Plex, and to be honest I sometimes ran into issues with them but generally they worked fine.

  It looks like Radarr (and I assume Sonarr) both have features to monitor that the watchlist in plex https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/issues/5705 https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/issues/5705 It's a clever way to do this without leaving Plex. I've used Ombi or PlexRequests in the past but they weren't my favorite and I finally gave up and used the sonarr/radarr UI directly.

  It's a feature recently added to Overseerr.

    To add: use Jellyseerr when you use Jellyfin as your media server. I don’t think it can be controlled from the Jellyfin UI (like you can with plex?). Personally I host Jellyfin and jellyseerr on their own subdomain so it’s not an issue, and Jellyfin is only accessed via Infuse anyway.

      Yeah, with Plex things can be added to the Watchlist directly from the apps (including on the TV). It has made a big difference in uptake with my users compared to getting them to log into a website.

Is that by using that radarr watchlist integration?

How does this work?

  Piracy. Specifically a bittorrent back-end that grabs torrents from a curated or auto-generated list then combined with data from a service like TVDB to make a nice front-end.

    Or rips of your physical media. Which is nice since you can pick the language you want.

      Direct links arent authenticated by jf, piracy goes for distribution also. Best logged by tailscale.
