MoviePilot
NAS media library automation tool for automatic subscription, downloading, and organization of movies and TV shows.
About
MoviePilot is an open-source NAS media library automation management tool built on FastAPI and Vue3. It focuses on core automation needs: subscribing to movies and TV shows, automatically searching and downloading via integrated torrent indexers, renaming and organizing media files, and syncing with media servers like Jellyfin, Plex, and Emby. It features a plugin system for extensibility, supports multiple downloaders (qBittorrent, Transmission, rTorrent), and integrates with Prowlarr/Jackett for indexer management. The frontend and backend are fully separated, making it lightweight and easy to maintain.
