24 alternatives to I made MediaManager, a modern alternative to the *ARR ecosystem
Hi, I'm currently developing an alternative to Sonarr/Radarr/Jellyseer that I called MediaManager. Github Repo Link: https://github.com/maxdorninger/MediaManager Why you might want to use MediaManager: OAuth/OIDC support for authentication; movie AND tv show management; multiple qualities of the same Show/Movie (i.e. you can have a 720p and a 4K version); you can on a per show/per movie basis select if you want the metadata from TMDB or TVDB; Built-in media requests (kinda like Jellyserr); support for torrents containing multiple seasons of a tv…

Fellow hackers, Media Hoarder is celebrating its 2nd birthday today and it finally supports tv series with the freshly released v1.4.0. Here's a video showcasing the new features: https://www.youtube.com/watch/3qfb5UWJrdQ Development wise I've been joined by an individual named kolbdog323 providing lots of feedback and requests over multiple months which I'm truly grateful of, because Media Hoarder is still an absolute side-project developed by a father of two in his limited spare time :D Please feel free to discuss features, development and sideproject-y things, I'm…

Hello everyone! I'm currently in a journey to learn and improve my Elixir and Go skills (my daily job uses C++) and looking through my backlog for projects to take on I decided Elixir is the perfect language to write a highly-parallel BitTorrent tracker. So I have spent my free time these last 3 months writing one! Now I think it has enough features to present it to the world (and a docker image to give it a quick try). I know some people see trackers as relics of the past now that DHT and PEX are common but I think they still serve a purpose in today's Internet (purely talking about public…

My goal is to create a free media downloader that doesn't bother you. friendly, efficient, and has no paywalls or anything like that. I've been working on that for the last 3 weeks or so, it's not perfect yet, but it works, and I'm really excited to share it.

I've been building open-source tools in the video/multimedia space for 10+ years. Finally shipped the commercial product I always wanted to exist — Video Commander, a desktop app that consolidates FFmpeg, ffprobe, MediaInfo, VMAF and more into a single workspace where you can inspect, encode and analyze video. Built with Tauri + Rust backend, React frontend. FFmpeg and VMAF. Not a cool AI/LLM project, just a tool I've been heads-down building over the last six months. Happy to answer any questions!

MediaLib▲9Ive been working on this for the last 4 months. Its a tv tracker, movie tracker, game tracker, whatever media people want tracker all in one app. At the end of november last year I tried to find a tracker for my tv shows. I watched a lot and Ive been doing so for like 15 years by now. There are 100% banger shows I watched at a random weekend in 2018 and totally forgot about. So I tried to find a solution to just have a simple list, but I didnt really like any of the existing solutions. So I am building my own. Especially rewatches or rereads are really mid on the existing sites. Been pretty…

Hello HN, I would like to share Filemat, a web-based file manager that I built because I wanted something with a simple setup and file permissions that work across the filesystem (as opposed to permissions only for a folder managed by the app). It's self-hosted and open-source (currently in beta). I'd be happy to hear your feedback Repo: https://github.com/bingud/filemat
