I love not being bombarded by ads thanks to pihole and adblockers. I don’t have cable TV either. But without browsing netlifx/Hulu/etc. how do you actually find stuff to watch and discover worthwhile shows and movies to rent from my library?
I pretty much do the same. I’ll check the recently added and see if something stands out to me, especially when it’s time for new TV seasons to start.
I use Lemmy and ad-blocked YouTube to hear about new things through the communities and channels that cover my interests.
Setting up all these lists, etc isn’t for me - I don’t always know what I’m going to enjoy so seeing everything being added to the Emby share I’m on is fun.
I didn’t know about showly and gave it a try, syncing it to trak.tv. What does this get me that I don’t get through trakt.tv by itself? What am I missing?
I use showly to add movies to my watchlist with two taps. I can hide items on showly, rate a movie quickly and comment on it quickly. I can sort movies. It provides a nice overview, imo. if trakt is enough, don’t use showly.
Does showly oss scrobble watched Information for free. I was going to use trakt.tv awhile ago but am not paying a subscription just for that feature so I use another site? Is is showly just a way to view the data feed by trakt.
Edit: Should clarify scrobble watched data from Plex in my case.
Back in the day I used to follow this site for entertainment news, but now mostly from YouTube. O like to watch a lot of trailers so there is always a lot on my feed. I also like vídeo lists like “Top sci-fi movies from the 90s” . Cinefix is a really good channel with that type of content.

trakt.tv via https://github.com/1RandomDev/showly-oss and https://www.themoviedb.org/ I’d prefer a more open alternative but afaik there’s nothing that tracks movies and series at the same time.
For music, there’s https://listenbrainz.org/ but I mostly listen to the old stuff and don’t get flooded with new stuff.

Yeah, I was doing pretty much all that with trakt already, but wasn’t sure if I was missing anything. I do like the ability to hide shows though.

I don’t know if plex can scrobble but showly uses trakt and jellyfin + trakt works
i have enough… uh… ‘archived’ content that i don’t need to ‘discover’ anything new for years.
I had a system like that running for the family. 3000 movies, they watched about 20 and they keep asking me if there’s anything new.
I scraped the system on the 10th rerun of Airplane!
Without a proper recommendation system, the hoard of content is useless.
Yo, shoot a list bro cause im dry af… I mostly watch community, it’s always sunny in Philadelphia, that 70s show, 30 rock etc…
Based on that let me recommend you “Brooklyn 99”, “The Good Place” and “Archer”.
Completely finished Brooklyn and the good place but archer seems awesome from the first episode I saw… appreciate you bro
How I envy you to be able to watch Archer for the first time.
I must have watched the whole thing a dozen times.
And yet I can’t stop
im not tapped into commercials/the zeitgeist either… i tend to look at the ‘new’ sections of the 'rent sites.
if others are going through the effort, it might be worth takin a look.

I get quite a few reccomend actions from the sci-fi/fantasy rss feeds I’m subscribed to. I also get some from suggestions on lemmy.
Word of mouth
I use the discover feature on Jellyseer. It makes my life so much easier to see what’s out there now.
This. Plus, when I’m watching something I like, I’ll usually look up actors in it and see what else they’ve done.
IMDb gives recommendations based on your ratings for things you’ve seen.
My usual method - see what’s trending on 1337X, then go to IMDB and see what is under “more like this”
And yeah, once you start rating stuff, some of the recommendations are pretty accurate

I use this to both keep track of current shows im watching, and also to get notified of new shows i might want to watch.
I bought the app nzb360 it has popular, trending new shows and most anticipated sections for TV shows. And something similar for movies.
Love this app so much. Sonarr, radarr, BitTorrent, etc all accessible in nzb360
I never buy apps, but this one was worth it

Jellyseer is great.

Yup, based on overseer. It’s a great selfhosted way to see what’s new and popular.

Whats the difference than using this as opposed to the *arrs

They’re not the same thing.
It complements the arrs. You can request shows and movies in seer and it adds it in the arrs.
