What is/was huntarr? I love posts without any context.
I guess it was supposed to be a successor to the *arr stack (radarr, lidarr , sonarr, etc). If you’re not familiar, they automate the downloading & organization process for movies, music, and tv.
I’m sure a successor will come around when room forms for them, I don’t know of a reason any of the core *arr stack should need one. If you know of one don’t hesitate to share, I’m just not really aware of any, they are awesome to me.

Personally I hate that sonarr is stuck on thetvdb when plex/jellyfin both primarily use tmdb. Usually it’s fine but for certain shows the differences can be unreconcilable.

I’ve been eyeballing github.com/maxdorninger/MediaManager but haven’t gotten around to it yet

Maybe it is a necessary evil…

I always get into problems with old shows/anime when I stick with Plex’s tmdb… If I switch to tvdb all my issues are gone.

Personally I prefer my software to give me options, I hate when stuff like this is picked for me when equally valid options exist
