What file-sharing and media organizing software do you wish that existed?

I want a streaming server that can simulate TV-like channels. I want to schedule different channels with my own content that I've downloaded. Shows and movies will be on at different times of day regardless of whether I'm watching or not. And then on my TV I could browse these channels with a guide. Tune into a show already in progress, and all that. But I set up all the schedules.

There's DizqueTV and ErsatzTV
Have you looked into Pseudotv / PseudoTV_Live?
- No but I will now, thanks.

Also looking for this with the additional conditions:
It's standalone, so it doesn't need integration with Kodi/Plex/Emby/Jellyfin/Whatever.
It has its own front end that I can point friends and family towards.
It has docker support so I can run it containerized.
It doesn't require me to sign up for a monthly subscription for the privelege of running it on my own server.

A mix between Mediarepo and Fopnu, connected to a metadata database like MusicBrainz, would be a game-changer for file organization and sharing. The metadata database would allow users to automatically curate their collection and they could contribute to it by curating the files that aren't already curated. Users could use the database to create collections and be able to select whole collections to download instead of searching for individual files.

Honestly, I'd be happy if I didn't need 6 arr-products that barely work.

But if a dream a little bit, I would like something like a single webapp that let's me manage audio, series, e-books, audio books and movies. If it could work towards something like flexget and have proper integration to metadata services, that would be a dream.

I already use ComicRack, but I wish there was a better digital comic media management program. A cleaner UI and easier to use (or “smarter”) scraping process would be amazing. I also wish there was a standardized way to embed metadata in CBR/CBZ files…

It’s just an archive, so I don’t see why there couldn’t be a hidden file the reader ignores that just holds the metadata… I’m sure there’s a reason it’s not handled that way, but still.

On a similar note, I love Calibre but it’s so ugly and clunky. If it wasn’t so good at what it does, I’d never use it for aesthetics alone.

I agree about Calibre, it looks pretty bad. I only use it because I don't know of any alternatives. And I don't like how it copies files instead of just tracking them wherever I want them to be.

Something Overseer-like for requesting audiobooks for Plex.

I have readarr watching my to read list in Goodreads. That’s the closest I’ve got to what you request. Perhaps you could set that up with a shared list?

Big downside, readarr only Scans once every 24 hours.
- readarr
  
  I thought it was ebooks-only. I didn't realize was for audiobooks also. Thanks!

A stand-alone media file renamer/organizer with a nice webui that supports hard links.

Since I automate my torrent downloads I basically use the arr suite for just renaming and organizing which kinda over complicates things.

RSS downloader with support for BitTorrent v2 file hashes, to deduplicate files in swarms and analyze them for less seeds to join and help, something like an actual implementation of share-mode in libtorrent

I'd love something that works as well for music, audiobooks, and ebooks as Jellyfin does for TV and movies.

I want a prite game launcher with support for achiments and account support cloud support too also it has dodi and fitgirl torrent ready for ur torrent client and linux support

Something like Mylarr/Readarr for manga. I tried both and niether worked well for manga. They both respectively work well for comic/books though.

I would use Mango but I prefer p2p to help keep content alive and to make use of MaM

I would love an easy way to host my audiobook collection as a podcast. With docker on my NAS.

Been using prologue for a while but it’s been losing my position and I’d rather just use overcast for books and podcasts. One audio app!

Have you looked at audiobookshelf? It handles audiobooks and podcasts. It’s fabulous
- Yes. I recently installed it but the iOS app is still in test flight and pretty buggy. I’m also having issues with it not understanding my book library, lumping all books in the author folder into a single book.
  
  It does allow hosting a book as a podcast but that’s at an individual file setting. Very manual.
  
  I need to tinker more with it.

We need a way to integrate file hosters, DC++ and Soulseek into our tech stack in order to automate search and download queries.

Wish that Plex Media Manager had a GUI.
Wish that Overseerr allowed for Music requests via Lidarr. (My experience with Ombi was lackluster)
Wish that there was an -arr Comicbook and Manga application. (Readarr is not good with those)
Wish that Sonarr and Radarr could do X-Rated stuff.
Wish there was a good solution to cloud-based emulation gaming. (Emulatorjs is...not great. WebRcade looks good but I don't want to send people off to a different domain's website)
Wish there was a standalone IPTV player that I could self-host my own content, or...
Wish that Plex's LiveTV wasn't limited to Home users.

There's DizqueTV and ErsatzTV
- Those aren’t standalone players. They create the channels which I can then plug the link into my own media players, but you can’t go to like dizquetv.myserver.corn and watch the channels.
