Media Organizer Recommendations - not a pirate (lemmy.sdf.org)

What software do you recommend to automate or assist organizing digital media?

My household has a lot of discs that I have been tasked with making available on the local network. Movies, TV shows, music, audio, and even photo negative scans. We live in an area that torrenting is not an option, but making copies of discs you own for personal use if legal. Also, many of these discs are not mainstream media.

I often see recommendations to use radarr or lidarr, but I assumed the "arr" means pirate and that's not what I'm looking to do.

Currently I am using a mix of MakeMKV, Handbrake, DVDFab, Filebot, and Plex. DVDFab is pretty good with movies, and Filebot is pretty good with TV shows, but it's still a lot of manual work and even still sometimes Plex grabs the wrong episode. I'm also underwhelmed with the way Filebot treats forced subtitles, and my overall ability to access and label special features off these discs.

I've run across a few software that will analyze music to identify it, is there anything similar for movies or TV shows?

I have about 30TB of media scanned in and compressed to HEVC or opus already with another few thousand discs to go. I'd be interested in options to backup/stream ISO's for movies, but only if I can delete the ads and other junk.

I'm currently using Windows 11 and TNAS, but I can setup my desktop to dual boot Linux if I need to. (Must retain Windows for work). I'd be open to something along the lines of Zappiti but all the links on their website are broken so I assume they are out of business.

Jellyfin (unlike Plex) is 100% free and doesn’t have any ads.

I have already paid for Plex lifetime and Jellyfin doesn't run on TNAS (or at least my TNAS).

Runs on docker so it should run fine on your system
