Easy initial configuration for YAMS. This is only intended for people that know what they are doing! If this is the first time you are configuring YAMS or it’s the first time you are using any of the programs in YAMS, ⚠️ don’t enter here! ⚠️

The qBittorrent project aims to provide an open-source software alternative to µTorrent.

Radarr

Radarr is a movie collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new movies and will interface with clients and indexers to grab, sort, and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of existing files in the library when a better quality format becomes available.

Sonarr

Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort, and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.

Prowlarr

Prowlarr is an indexer manager/proxy built on the popular *arr .net/reactjs base stack to integrate with your various PVR apps. Prowlarr supports management of both Torrent Trackers and Usenet Indexers. It integrates seamlessly with Lidarr, Mylar3, Radarr, Readarr, and Sonarr offering complete management of your indexers with no per app Indexer setup required (we do it all).

Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr and Radarr that manages and downloads subtitles based on your requirements.

Emby

Emby brings together your personal videos, music, photos, and live television. Emby Server automatically converts and streams your personal media on the fly to play on any device.

Plex

What is Plex? From their website: With our free app you can add, access, and share all the entertainment that matters to you, on almost any device—including your own personal media collection. Guess that makes us the hardest working app in show business. On YAMS, Plex is one of the most important parts: Plex is going to be your “Netflix”, “Hulu” or “Amazon Prime”. This means you’ll be able to stream your TV shows and movies to any device using Plex.

Running everything together

So you finally got YAMS running? Let’s add some movies and seeing everything working together!
