I switched from Plex to Emby a few years ago after some Plex changes really made me frustrated with it.

I've been loving Emby.

Any distinct advantages over Plex that you’ve noticed?

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.

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.

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

[–] jpants@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I just use Real Debrid and Google Drive tbh

[–] dustojnikhummer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[–] jpants@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

+1 for stremio - if paired with google drive too, its amazing

@RandomLegend Here's how I do stuff:

I use Calibre for books
I use Shotwell for photos and videos
I use Audacious for music
For moving and deleting files around, I just use the regular file manager. I put music in Music, photos in the Pictures folder, videos go to Videos, documents go to Documents etc.
