  3. plugins

    Plugins and shell scripts for integrating 3rd party tools with FileBot (by filebot)

    A bit unrelated and it's not open source, but if you have a lot of media files and the file naming conventions bother you, I recommend Filebot to format and rename everything, it's a godsend. I think it costs money now, but if you do a lot of turning it's worth it.

  4. Healthchecks

    Open-source cron job and background task monitoring service, written in Python & Django

    If you're really interested in something like that, it's pretty easy. Just use something like healthchecks.io, cronitor or cronhub.
