I have a Plex server running on Mac OSX. Whenever I want to add media, I remotely connect into the Mac, login to my private tracker, download the torrent, wait for it to finish, then update my Plex library.

I’m hopeful that there’s an easier way. I’m imagining a way I can remotely tell the Plex server what I want to watch and it takes it from there. Does such a thing exist?

    Switch to Jellyfin. Plex doesn’t need to know that you yanked some MP4s. And also, set up the *arr stack.

      Jellyfin and Linux folks can’t help but tell people to switch to their service regardless if anyone was asking. Obnoxious userbases.

      OP is asking for help with Plex. It has nothing to do with Jellyfin. Go away.

        No. If yours ask for help, then people are going to give it, and there’s no reason for them to avoid giving their own opinions on what’s better. If yours don’t like it, don’t ask for help.

        Go away.

          Lol what help was provided? It was just Jellyfin spam that had nothing to do with what OP had asked.

          If you just replaced Jellyfin with some obnoxious VPN voucher in that comment it would be obviously spam but because its something you like you can’t seem to see it.

          If OP had been asking about Jellyfin and someone thought it was “helpful” to suggest they switch to Plex I would of said the same thing.

            I’m going to keep pushing Jellyfin over Plex anytime someone posts something that mentions it, as it is the obviously superior choice. I don’t care if you disagree.

            You have two choices. Block me and ignore it, or fuck off. I don’t care which you choose, because I’ll quickly forget you even exist unless you bother replying, but you don’t have any power to make me do otherwise. So you might as well save yourself the trouble.

            Corpo bootlicking scum.

              Lol butthurt much? If you really didn’t care you wouldnt have felt the need to lash out like a child.

              As good of a product as jellyfin might be, every time I run into someone promoting it I am reminded why I never use it.

        Because Plex doesn’t need to know what you’ve stolen. And it’s proprietary garbage.
