How do you keep track of your media?

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.

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.

Oh, sounds good. I’ll look into it

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.

@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 don’t actually have Jellyfin set up yet (just subscribed to keep track of an interesting project I might use someday). With it not being integrated, do you mean this just ends up being duplicative? Or that it doesn’t auto-import into LT from Jellyfin so you have to manage that manually?

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.

I haven’t promoted anything illegal. The whole point of applications like Radarr and Sonarr is to manage a video library.

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

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.
