Are you using the *arr apps? https://wiki.servarr.com/

As others mentioned, Arr-Stack and then add Overseer to add new movies or series.

Oh boyo! You can have literally everything automated. All you’d need to do is search a movie or show and click request and then bam it will appear on plex.

How?

Arr stack (as everyone is commenting here with)

Prowlarr (to pick your torrent indexers), sonarr (for shows), radarr (for movies) and overseerr for requests (this one’s optional but it’s so nice).

Add API codes from your sonarr and your radarr into prowlarr (and overseerr if you go with it) and add your qbittorrent web ui server to all of them.

I port forwarded overseerr so that it can be accessible by web and made a web app to it on my wife’s phone. Now while she’s bored at work she can scroll through recent releases on all streaming sites in overseerr and pick what she likes and click “request”. The requests get automatically approved and my prowlarr starts searching and sends the download to sonarr or radarr, which automatically moves everything into their right folders into my plex library.

I come home and open plex and bam my new releases are there, ready to be watched.

Yes, Radarr and the rest of the *arr stack.

Have a look through the tools section on the Megathread in the pinned post. For this specific use case you’re probably going to be wanting to look at tools like Sonarr (for TV shows), Radarr (for movies), some form of torrent client that those tools support (Transmission for example), and depending on what your tracker supports, possibly something like Jackett to provide a bridge between your tracker and your downloader tool.

The benefit of this kind of setup is it’s very easy to add Usenet into the mix if you choose to.

There’s some extra steps needed if you run it directly on the Mac but you can also do something like run Docker on the Mac and run those tools within Docker instead.

I’m pretty sure it’s possible to integrate something like Overseerr (which is a web frontend for handing requests for new content) into the Plex watch list meaning you could add a show to your watch list in Plex, Overseerr would pick that up, send it to Sonarr or Radarr depending on the type of content it is, which would then do a search on your tracker for the content, send the torrent to your torrent client, and then when it finishes downloading automatically import it into Plex.

You need the Servarr apps. Sonarr for TV shows, Radarr for movies, and Prowlarr to handle search indexers or trackers. Bazarr for subtitles, if you watch international shows or anime. The apps are available as docker containers. Not all of them can be installed as standalone apps. Pipe the media into directories for a Jellyfin server to stream them, since Plex is corpo shit.

You can use LunaSea on Android or iOS to add shows from your mobile. You can also install Jellyseerr if you want an app to help you discover media. If you want music or ebooks/audiobooks, there are Servarr apps for that too.

Install prowlarr to troll your trackers and then radarr to deal with your movies. On Mac iirc its best to run them natively, and you can set up radarr to alert Plex that the new movie has arrived.

A lot of suggestions for the *Arr apps, which I fully endorse.

I will also point out that if you set up Ombi, it can automatically add titles from your Plex watchlist. So you can add titles to your library with one click.

Lots of suggestions for Arr. I also have a Mac and use Plex. I explored setting up the Arr suite but promptly got lost in the weeds. Is there a guide that doesn’t include “install this executable from an untrusted source” to set this up? There are Arr docker setup files available but I have no idea who made them and if they are trustworthy, I’d rather go to the source than third party.
