Cleanarr
Automatic cleaner tool for your mediaserver (eg. Plex). Making use of a history-tracker (eg. Tautulli) and a request-tracker (eg. Ombi) to keep in mind requested and watched status, to make sure media gets only deleted when everyone who wanted to watch it, has watched it. (by Cleanarr)
Emby
Emby Server is a personal media server with apps on just about every device. (by MediaBrowser)

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me!! Recent streaming services, prices and shows getting butchered, finally decided its time. Here's how a basic self-hosted 'Netflix' would look like. Fully automated once its setup. Using only a makeshift homelab server from second hand parts.
Cleanarr: Deletes media based on specified conditions.

Delete shows that haven't been watched in 6 months.

Identify unused files in Plex share
Edit 2: didn’t realize there was another project with the same name also may be helpful

Any way to check if I have all the episodes?
Cleanarr Allows you to delete movies/tvshows under certain conditions, nice if you are worried about HDD space.

I made a thing! A python script to delete old, unwatched movie content. Open to feedback.
Kinda like https://github.com/Cleanarr/Cleanarr but this project has never been finished and it's for Ombi.

Library clean/prune app?
Edit: Found it - it's 'coming soon' (link)

Family Plex, light torrenting
Not really, If I want to watch something, maybe my friends do. I just don't want to give access to people who I do not know (for obvious reasons). Separating directories for each member seems like a very manual process, but if that's what you want to do, go for it. The only real benefit I could see about your process is the deleting of stuff, but then again, you could set up Cleanarr to do that for you anyways.
- Can't wait till Cleanarr is ready!!

Plex-Library-Cleaner has been renamed to Cleanarr
Looks like they have a name conflict https://github.com/Cleanarr/Cleanarr

Program for sorting DOWNLOADED movies/games?
I used to use Plex until I found Emby. I find Emby easier to use and it does the same thing. Just putting this here as a fourth option for OP. :)

Ask HN: What is your streaming setup like?
I use https://emby.media along with private trackers and Usenet.

Just checking: Plex is still the best option right?
You can find it here! I have both installed, but I generally keep EMBY turned off until I want to play around with it. You can have both running at once and both accessing the same folders. You can check it out for free.

media server, bring old days and share with friends
I went with Emby, personally. Plex, Jellyfin, etc are all good choices too! :)

Jellyfin (open source Plex) moves from Reddit to its own traditional-style MyBB forum
For clarity: Emby is still mostly open source (the source code is right here: https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby). Emby started incorporating closed source plugins that you only get with the paid version of Emby in order to try and get revenue.
