Hi, I’m currently developing an alternative to Sonarr/Radarr/Jellyseer that I called 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 show
- Support for multiple users
MediaManager also doesn’t completely rely on a central service for metadata, you can self host the MetadataRelay or use the public instance that is hosted by me (the dev).
You might not want to use MediaManager if you are a power user of Sonarr or Radarr because it isn’t designed for the Trash guides (there are NO quality profiles or similiar in MediaManager). This is because MediaManager takes a simpler approach at selecting the best torrent:
- Sort by resolution (search for keywords in torrent names like FullHD, 1080p, 4K, 720p, etc.)
- Sort by number of seeders
This way you get what you want in your preferred resolution that the most people downloaded (herd instinct). If you are just a simple man like me, then this approach is pretty good at getting the best media.
As the title says, this project is still in beta and thus quite rough around the edges and unpolished. But I think it’s ready for the first few beta testers (I’ve been using it myself instead of Sonarr and Radarr for the past two weeks).
If you want to support me, buy me a coffee!
