The 'popular', 'trending new shows'/'up comming movies', and 'most anticipated' lists in NZB360 (android app for managing the whole 'arr stack and more)
User requests via Ombi (it also has lists like above to look through)
Random titles I find on Lemmy.
Word of mouth.
Oh yeah: and IMDB lists added to radarr. Lists for various studios, and a big standup comedy list.
Do you add the IMBD list by hand?
The imdb lists are monitored by Radarr, but aren't created by me.
I just found a few public lists I like and now whenever new content is added to those lists by their maintainers, Radarr adds+downloads it.
That's what is mainstream popular. How do you find stuff you actually like ?
Only a system that you have trained with like/dislike and can compare with other sets of content preference similar to yours will find that precious "content similar to your preferences but you haven't seen yet"
That's a content recommendation engine.
Now the questions is, how can we each run our owm self hosted recommemder engine which will share our list to others automatically so that we can pool it all together and create a useful recommender engine.
Without that, we have to rely on the artificial mainstream mush like marvel movie #27
Word of mouth. Friends. Internet.
Speaking of which, have you seen Barbie yet? I heard it's pretty good.
Yeah Barbie is played by this really good actress! Looking forward to seeing her in more stuff!
Overseer if you use plex and jellyseer if you use Jellyfin.
Makes the content browsing experience pretty fantastic.
trakt.tv via https://github.com/1RandomDev/showly-oss and https://www.themoviedb.org/ I'd prefer a more open alternative but afaik there's nothing that tracks movies and series at the same time.
For music, there's https://listenbrainz.org/ but I mostly listen to the old stuff and don't get flooded with new stuff.
I didn't know about showly and gave it a try, syncing it to trak.tv. What does this get me that I don't get through trakt.tv by itself? What am I missing?
Does showly oss scrobble watched Information for free. I was going to use trakt.tv awhile ago but am not paying a subscription just for that feature so I use another site? Is is showly just a way to view the data feed by trakt.
Edit: Should clarify scrobble watched data from Plex in my case.
I don't know if plex can scrobble but showly uses trakt and jellyfin + trakt works
i have enough.. uh... 'archived' content that i don't need to 'discover' anything new for years.
I had a system like that running for the family. 3000 movies, they watched about 20 and they keep asking me if there's anything new.
I scraped the system on the 10th rerun of Airplane!
Without a proper recommendation system, the hoard of content is useless.
And yet I can't stop
Word of mouth
I started using JustWatch as a means to find which streaming service had the thing I wanted to watch. Then I started using it to track what I had watched. And now that I’m completely moved over to stremio+torrentio I use it to find what’s popular and new.
I setup Radarr/Sonarr/Overseer and shared my Plex server with some friends. They do the heavy lifting, and know when something's probably good when several of them are watching the same thing.
I usually browse the "what are you watching" threads on the trackers I'm on, get suggestions from friends and co-workers, and my wife who still watches network TV to know what to put into my rss feed.
Other, real people talking about it on sites like this. Finding groups with similar tastes as myself and seeing what they're talking about. I also just read descriptions while I'm scrolling on the service or whatever and if it sounds good, I might check it out.
I bought the app nzb360 it has popular, trending new shows and most anticipated sections for TV shows. And something similar for movies.
Love this app so much. Sonarr, radarr, BitTorrent, etc all accessible in nzb360
I never buy apps, but this one was worth it
I use the discover feature on Jellyseer. It makes my life so much easier to see what's out there now.
This. Plus, when I'm watching something I like, I'll usually look up actors in it and see what else they've done.
Either word of mouth or browsing the recently added section on my Plex share
I pretty much do the same. I'll check the recently added and see if something stands out to me, especially when it's time for new TV seasons to start.
I use Lemmy and ad-blocked YouTube to hear about new things through the communities and channels that cover my interests.
Setting up all these lists, etc isn't for me - I don't always know what I'm going to enjoy so seeing everything being added to the Emby share I'm on is fun.
I usually browse Trakt and look for some decent lists, then add what I like to mine. The lists are hooked up to Radarr/Sonarr so I don't have to bother manually downloading my media.
Jellyseer is great.
https://github.com/Fallenbagel/jellyseerr
Yup, based on overseer. It's a great selfhosted way to see what's new and popular.

Whats the difference than using this as opposed to the *arrs
It complements the arrs. You can request shows and movies in seer and it adds it in the arrs.
The 'arrs handle actually finding/managing media files
Overseer/Jellyseer/Ombi are interfaces for you and your users to request media to be added to the 'arrs. Either directly, or after approval by an admin.
They're not the same thing.
IMDb gives recommendations based on your ratings for things you've seen.
My usual method - see what's trending on 1337X, then go to IMDB and see what is under "more like this"
And yeah, once you start rating stuff, some of the recommendations are pretty accurate
Curators are a good way too, some blogs or podcasts do a lot of heavy lifting in discovering new shows, some communities with similar tastes are also good to find content, way better than algos and ads.
Music is my main media and I pay Deezer specifically to recommend me stuff.
For games, I'm on an emulation streak, so top X listicles. Mostly, I'm racking my brain for things I thought were interesting but never played/didn't finish/want to experience again.
For TV and movies (and new games), I care a lot less about and I mean a lot less, so word of mouth. If all my colleagues, family, and friends are raving about the new hotness I'll find out.
I usually look at the cast and see what else they've been in, some UI like Plex make this really easy if you have a watchlist hook set up.
Back in the day I used to follow this site for entertainment news, but now mostly from YouTube. O like to watch a lot of trailers so there is always a lot on my feed. I also like vídeo lists like "Top sci-fi movies from the 90s" . Cinefix is a really good channel with that type of content.
I get quite a few reccomend actions from the sci-fi/fantasy rss feeds I'm subscribed to. I also get some from suggestions on lemmy.

I use this to both keep track of current shows im watching, and also to get notified of new shows i might want to watch.
