Cool! I was just thinking about putting something like this together.

I’ll check it out today!

Nice! Looks like a cool matrix platform! I’m on synapse myself but this looks cool

I mean, you only search one arr service depending on the media type.

I guess here I was more thinking about having audio books and ebooks with the same title across two separate instances of readarr.

If it’s already in your library, it shows when you search for it so not much figuring out

Yeah that is true, not so much a benefit but does help that all media types are manageable from the same dashboard

The “manual” action is pressing “Add”, which i assume you’d need to do with this too?

A reference to The benefit of having a recommendation engine auto add stuff for you. But I guess lots of the arr programs also have list imports but I’d prefer to not to depend on an external service for that sort of thing.

I think I’m confused as to what problem this actually solves?

I’m realizing now that in my excitement I have done a very poor job of describing the scope of this project, and would like to recommend that you visit the repo and check it out yourself:

Here’s is a snippet from the project pages that does a much better job of describing it than I did (apologies again for my poor description)

Proposed Project Features: Books (Readarr & Anna’s Archive)

✅ Missing List → Read from Readarr, fetch missing books and auto-download via Anna’s Archive ✅ Manual Search → Search Anna’s Archive and download books (user selection and defined file structure) ✅ Recommendations → Generate book suggestions based on Readarr library (using a background tasks to scrape from Goodreads) - with options to add or dismiss suggestions including filters and sorting Movies (Radarr & TMDB)

✅ Recommendations → Read Radarr library and suggest similar movies via TMDB (with options to add or dismiss suggestions including filters and sorting) ✅ Manual Search → Search via TMDB with option to add to Radarr TV Shows (Sonarr & TMDB)

✅ Recommendations → Read Sonarr library and suggest similar shows via TMDB (with options to add or dismiss suggestions including filters and sorting) ✅ Manual Search → Search via TMDB with option to add to Sonarr Music (Lidarr, LastFM, yt-dlp, Spotify)

✅ Manual Search → Search Spotify for music and download via spotDL (which uses yt-dlp) ✅ Recommendations → Generate artist recommendations from LastFM based on Lidarr library (with options to add or dismiss suggestions including filters and sorting) ✅ Missing List → Read Lidarr library, fetch missing albums and download via yt-dlp Downloads (via yt-dlp)

✅ Direct Download Page → Input YouTube or Spotify link and download video/audio using spotDL or yt-dlp Subscriptions (via spotdl and yt-dlp) ✅ Schedule System → Subscribe to YouTube Channels, Spotify or YouTube Playlists and download on a schedule

Ive just installed jellyseer last week and I love it!

I think the scope of this project is more ambitious with the additional media types as well as being a recommendation engine and an arr suite manager

Here’s the rundown from the repo:

What are you using instead? I only recently set up my synapse server and I’d be interested to head what the alternatives are

Ah this is so exciting!

Discord ‘existing’ has held back development motivation on Foss Federated Communication alternatives.

When they go public only good things will happen for projects like matrix :)

I’m very excited!
