    ** What is it?**

    It’s a Media Discovery and Download Hub which acts as add-on or extension for the Arr stack and more, designed to manage and obtain media both manually and automatically. Think of it as a media manager, recommendation and helper app.

    What's the Problem?

    I've made a start, but for long-term stability and maintainability, the project needs more contributors. It's highly modular, with separate services, making it easy for new developers to jump in and focus on specific areas.

    Where to Start?

    I’ve set up the repo on GitHub at https://github.com/MediaWolfOrg/MediaWolf and I’m happy to add people to the the project. This way, the project won’t be dependent on any one individual. With enough developers, it will help keep the project alive and ensure long-term stability.

    Note: This could be a great first project if you're just starting out, as the modular architecture makes it easy to contribute without needing to tackle everything at once. Apologies if you've already seen this or if its against the rules..

      I'm very new to open source but I'd love to get involved but is there a discord or something to get up to speed?

        This looks interesting. Just two thoughts (sorry if these dont belong in a recruitment post, feel free to ignore):

        Radarr and sonarr already have a function to look at ones library and offer recommendations for new adds. How is your proposed functionality different?

        Lidarr import of existing library or even grabs/downloads is atrocious. It's damn near unusable, and a lot of people (myself included) don't use it because it's functionally useless if one has to manually import every song or album. I'm not sure it's worth spending time building anything on top of Lidarr. Thoughts?

            Recommendations are based on TMDB for what you already have in the library, and also there is a simpler UI with filters and sorting.

            Lidarr is fine if you use something like LidaTube or a plugin to grab media.

                Maybe create a few "first issue" issues. Might encourage people to start contributing if there is something concrete to start with. Otherwisr, could be a bit overhvelming just clone the repo and start contributing.

                  I'd suggest integrate with LazyLibrarian over Readarr as it's metadata and ability to add recent books is borked probably forever.

                      Maybe I'll have to try again. https://www.reddit.com/r/Lidarr/comments/1bq1zot/comment/m6ecbr2/ was my experience downloading with deemix and trying to import into lidarr.

                        While not in the roadmap, I'd like to try adding squid[.]wtf and possibly lucida.{s,t}o (although, it's been rather unstable lately) downloaders, if you're interested

                            The metadata server isn't updated and hasn't for a long time so it stops after a point in time and certain authors with lots of books just don't come up.

                            Given the readarr team are looking for maintainers to take over, I doubt it'll be resolved soon.
