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 have to disagree on the movie/shows
part here. IMHO Usenet is way cheaper than this horrible file hosters. And one needs more than one file hoster too. There are also plenty of German private torrent trackers out there. File hosters lack automation, it's just horrible annoying to download everything by hand and solve Captchas all day AND EVEN PAY FOR THIS EXPERIENCE.
Radarr/Sonarr to acquire most things. Still go around them where needed.
Then I use Kodi for all video. I don’t go off the main device enough to worry about a full server setup for it so I’ll just network share if I need to use another device.
Navidrome and substreamer for music in a proper server config with Tailscale tying it together.
I use Plex for movies/tv and Playnite for games
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
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.
I just use Real Debrid and Google Drive tbh
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.
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.
Will Kavita handle audiobooks too?
Not as far as I know.
Audiobookshelf is top notch for that
I really like the look of this but unfortunately I run windows
Maybe look into setting up Docker in Windows.
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.
+1 for stremio - if paired with google drive too, its amazing
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.
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...
