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.

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.
Emby: Offers premium features with some behind a membership.

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.

Setting up a home media PC to stream to TV
I used Plex until I found Emby, which is far easier to set up and works very well with all my media.

Help with setting up NZBHydra
Just use https://github.com/Prowlarr/Prowlarr. Thank me later.
- Good indexers for foreign movies?
-
Honest answer, is Spotify replaceable with Plex?
I'm going to mention this first though because it's very important (and will save you a ton of repetition) to set up Prowlarr first to manage your indexers: https://github.com/Prowlarr/Prowlarr.

Any easy way to start cross seeding on QBitTorrent and macOS?
I use prowlarr to manage my trackers and cross-seed to automatically cross seed downloaded torrents.

Prowlarr removes indexers periodically from the 'arrs.
cool. It's currently gathering data, it may take a few hours to reproduce the issue. It seems it has no specific trigger to it, and all the arrs are affected. Seems a clone of this https://github.com/Prowlarr/Prowlarr/issues/435
