  • bazarr

    Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr and Radarr. It manages and downloads subtitles based on your requirements. You define your preferences by TV show or movie and Bazarr takes care of everything for you.

  • I use https://www.bazarr.media to just download the subtitles. When the Apple TV connects to the Plex server, if requests the video and the subtitles and then it overlays it on the Apple TV. No transcoding.

  • Saltbox

    Ansible-based solution for rapidly deploying a Docker containerized cloud media server.

  • I pay $45/month for the dedi server (from Hetzner) and then I use Google Drive Workspace for business for storage which is $20/month. If you're interested in a setup like that, check out the Saltbox project.
