How to keep track of files? (lemmynsfw.com)

Its pretty much the title I'm just genuinely wondering how you guys are keeping track of all of your legally sourced files. I'm pretty much just relying on a spreadsheet but is that really the best way? Especially for the less technically inclined individuals such as myself

Edit: I apologize thought it was obvious but looking back I could've been more specific. I was referring to movies, TV shows, YouTube videos, books, audiobooks, etc. I haven't taken the leap to self host anything yet just growing my library for now on a couple of encrypted drives until the time comes. You don't really need to provide tailored answers towards my situation I just want to know what's out there in terms of keeping track of stuff. Thank you in advance since this account is a burner and I check it like once a day

Edit #2: appreciate all of your feedback. Seems the majority rely on jellyfin and other software to automatically check what you have stored which I didn't even know it could do that's interesting.

I don't keep track of them. Jellyfin and Radarr, etc. keep track of them for me.

[–] Hax@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah Radarr and Sonarr for me. Does a really good job at it too. Haven't tried Jellyfin myself.

Jellyfin combined with Radarr and Sonarr is freaking amazing. Add in Jellyseerr and you've got yourself a Netflix competitor in your own home.

I actually had to look up what Jellyfin was prior to commenting again. I use Plex to stream to my devices. They seem pretty similar from what I can tell.

[–] SilentObserver@lemm.ee 4 points 4 months ago

They are pretty similar. Plex is more polished though. But what keeps me from using Plex is that the client likes to push content onto me that isn’t on my server. I can unpin those suggestions, but they always came back after some time, which annoyed me. I also don’t like how they handle account authorization. I shouldn’t have to use their servers to log into my own server.

Jellyfin doesn’t phone home ever, and it only ever shows my content.

All that being said, if none of that bothers you, Plex is still a really good media server.

What kind of files?

I use Kodi to keep track of what TV shows and movies I've watched.

[–] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 months ago

You are going to have to be more specific about the type of files if you want useful advice.

[–] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

Mine just go in folders: Movies, TV Shows, Education, etc
