I’ve started collecting a lot of movies and tv-sjows for my jellyfin server, but I found it quite difficult to keep track of what I already have, what I want and if I have the subtitles and everything for it. What would you suggest to keep track of what is and isn’t available on a jellyfin server?
I’ve seen some stuff like the *arr software, but I actually just want to have a simple piece of software that just keeps track of my media, and doesn’t also look for new stuff.
Ombi comes to mind. It’s for requesting new movies/TV shows, but it also has a search feature and shows a tag on results of it’s already in your library.
Will take a look at ombi
I use Jellyseer for the same thing. Works great and integrates with radarr/sonarr
There’s also Trakt if you want to do things manually
You can make a list of stuff you want to add, then move it to another list once you add it
Look into radarr and sonarr
And Bazarr for subtitles. You don’t need to use the discover features, if you don’t want to. Actually, Sonarr doesn’t have discover.
We use Library Thing to manage my library of 1400+ and growing. It is free and works great for books, movies, TV series. Anytime I’m browsing the local stores I easily check if if I already own something. Has helped a ton.
It works with my partner having access to the same library. Wishlisting things is easy. You can scan the barcode or search titles to add them.
This looks neat!
@jqubed @notfromhere I use LT for books, no DVDs etc (yet) and second the recommendation! No idea if less popular media such as LD, VD or video tapes are supported, but the people behind LT are incredibly helpful and open for suggestions.
Note that it doesn’t work with Jellyfin.
I use http://keep.google.com (really basic and shitty alternative to a text file that I can access from my phone). I might upgrade to spread sheet program like Google sheets, maybe the columns will be
name, next season status/date, subtitles downloaded (yes/no).I’m hesitant to do something fully automated because I don’t have unlimited disk and if any extra programs misbehave I’d have to redo setting up my server and proxying.
Jellyfin has a plugin for auto-downloading subtitles on demand. I don’t like waiting until the last minute to find out the subtitle sources server went down only a minute earlier, so a suggestion on how to permanently pre-load subtitles for Jellyfin would be appreciated.
I also do most of it manually, most of my movies have subtitles downloaded, but I want to keep track of what I still need/have. A spreadsheet does sound simple, but workable
Perhaps something like justwatch would work for you? It’s not exactly made for this use but I use it to track stuff I want to watch across streaming services and mark what I’ve watched, seems close to something that can fill the gap.
While I would recommend the *arrs applications, Tiny Media Manager will do exactly what you’re looking for. The only downside is that if you want it to grab subtitles for you, then you have to purchase a yearly, but cheap, license.
You really shouldn’t promote illegal media. You are setting up Jellyfin for a lawsuit.
Not quite sure what functions you’re looking for? If you want to maintain a wishlist next to a list of your existing media Radarr and Sonarr are probably the best free software out there. Just don’t set up the downloading portion.
They will index, sort and, rename what you have, download subs. You can add stuff you want, and the calendar will tell you when it’s been released.
There are front ends like Tautly but I think they depend the arr’s for some of their features.
Seems like I didn’t look into radarr and sonarr good enough, I’ll research them a bit better.
