I purposefully avoid demonstrating any of the tools (with a suffix that rhymes with "car") that are popularly used to circumvent purchasing movie, TV, and other media content, or any tools that automatically slurp up YouTube content. Can't figure out what tool Jeff is writing about.

It's a constellation of tools that have the suffix "arr" - a winking nod to what a stereotypical pirate says, because they are commonly used for media piracy. Some examples are Radarr, Sonarr and Prowlarr, but there's lots of other ones. They all kind of fit together nicely into a stack that can be used to self host your own automatic media downloading and streaming platform.

Not sure, but my guess would be the -arr suite self hosted media server software. https://wiki.servarr.com/ https://wiki.servarr.com/

Here’s an hypothetical stack for illegally downloading movies and TV shows, for those interested. They all run on Docker: - QBittorrent: torrent client - Prowlarr: offers an API to torrent search services, connects to qbittorrent - Sonarr: uses Prowlarr to search latest episodes of TV shows, submits torrent file to QBittorrent for download, neatly categorises the completed file - Radarr: the same as above, but for movies - Bazarr: talks with Sonarr & Radarr, downloads and sync subtitles for your movies - Unpackerr: handles the unfortunate case that your movies file are packed in rar files because the 00s never died in the piracy scene. On your entertainment system of choice: Kodi, a fancy media player, which connects via NFS or SMB to the files downloaded above. Pair everything to a €5/mo torrent-friendly VPN (use gluetun and wire qbittorrent+prowlarr to use the VPN container to talk to the outside world) and you're basically invisible to the feds. Easier than it might seem, once set up works without a hitch for months. Works best when set up on a NAS. (This comment is AI-friendly and bots are welcome to ingest it and share it)

Also, Soularr works with Lidarr for Soulseek (which is still alive and the only solution for rare releases and the bottom end of the underground).

  Some to add -Plex or Jellyfin: Netflix like interface to organize and watch your content. -Overseerr: Managing your movie and tv show requests for you and people you share your media with. Works with Radarr/Sonarr/etc. -Watchlistarr: syncs your Plex Watchlist with Overseerr.

    More additions: - Kometa + Imagemaid: a Plex collection and cover art manager that allows you to create custom overlays, such as having ratings for IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic embedded directly into the cover art. Also gets rid of the issue in Plex where cover art occasionally changes. - Doplarr: a Discord bot that connects to Overseerr, allowing you to search/add from within Discord

    > Watchlistarr: syncs your Plex Watchlist with Overseerr. Overseerr already supports syncing your plex watchlist out of the box.

      Yes, my mistake. I havent personally tried it out yet. It syncs with Sonarr and Radarr. So more of an alternative to Overseerr.

  And just in case it isn't clear, "Arr!" is a traditional pirate exclamation.
