pijarr
A shell script to automate the installation and configuration of Jackett, Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Readarr, Prowlarr, and Bazarr on Debian based distros.
Use something like these lists: https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts
Setup Kodi with kodi-standalone-service (note: read the readme) so it always runs. Plug your pi into the TV. You can probably use your existing remotes to control Kodi using CEC.
Setup the *arr services (and jackett) using pijarr. This entire process seems like a lot, but if you ignore time time spent downloading/building/installing stuff, it's really only an hour or so of actual interaction. Some of the services have telemetry enabled by default, so disable that before you use them.
You don't need to use an IR receiver. I know at least the rpi 4 supports CEC. You can use the remote that came with your TV, the TV will relay commands back to the pi over HDMI. You can also use a 2.4 GHz remote (I got a wechip G20) and then yoink this hwdb file from LibreELEC: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/blob/master/packages/sysutils/systemd/hwdb.d/70-local-keyboard.hwdb (You can also reference this file for names of remotes to look into)
