I remember reading a post about someone setting up Jellyfin and some other software and essentially just waiting around a few days after shows come out and they end up being available in their media library. Like, some kind of pirating software that just grabs the right media. Is this a thing or am I misremembering?

    As Ksynwa mentioned, Jackett is the one you are looking for, also it works really great with Sonarr and Radarr, they organize the files in a way so that the name are not gibberish.

    This sounds like Sonarr. I haven’t used it but I’ve seen people talk about it. It watches RSS feeds for releases and tries to find the best torrent.

    Sounds like they are using the “*Arr” software.

    The WikiArr had a good break down of how it works

    https://wiki.servarr.com/

    They are designed to automatically grab, sort, organize, and monitor your Music, Movie, E-Book, or TV Show collections for Lidarr, Radarr, Readarr, Sonarr, and Whisparr; and to manage your indexers and keep them in sync with the aforementioned apps for Prowlarr.
