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.

    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?

    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

    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.

    Not quite sure what functions you’re looking for? If you want to maintain a wishlist next to a list of your existing media Radarr and Sonarr are probably the best free software out there. Just don’t set up the downloading portion.

    They will index, sort and, rename what you have, download subs. You can add stuff you want, and the calendar will tell you when it’s been released.

    There are front ends like Tautly but I think they depend the arr’s for some of their features.

      Seems like I didn’t look into radarr and sonarr good enough, I’ll research them a bit better.

    Perhaps something like justwatch would work for you? It’s not exactly made for this use but I use it to track stuff I want to watch across streaming services and mark what I’ve watched, seems close to something that can fill the gap.

    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.

      I also do most of it manually, most of my movies have subtitles downloaded, but I want to keep track of what I still need/have. A spreadsheet does sound simple, but workable
