Nearly 2000 movies, over 200 series, over 50 anime movies and about 300 animes in mine, sharing it with 30 other friends and family. Currently looking into automations for it. This is the way.
Sonarr and Radarr are your friends for automation (TV and Movies) there is another arr for music but I don't use that one.
My workflow is essentially:
Queue up what I want in *arr
It sends request to sabnzbd
Better qualities that I want are updated automatically, new episodes are downloaded automatically.
Add overseer in the mix and you've got it made. I have overseer watching my plex watch list, so when I add something, in a few minutes it's available to watch. It helps having a 1gb pipe as well.
There's a setting in Plex which looks for changes to its folders, and refreshes your library automatically. I have that on, and I see my *arr shows/movies in Plex within a minute or two of being added.
Overseer monitors the watch list (or you can directly request from the portal) and then goes to either sonarr or radarr and adds them. Useful if you have some users you share your library out to and you want to let them request stuff. There's also an approval system so your storage doesn't get filled up by crap.
This is the way.
Best pipeline to get the content you want to watch.
FTFY
Hey, where are you getting the movies from?
Would be cool to have some sort of catalogue that can be used to pick the movie that you want to torrent, and then Plex can just stream that to the clients and cache it for others to see too.
That way no automations are needed. Just watch stuff like in any streaming service.
I usually rely on 1337x.to for most of my torrents, with erai-raws over in nyaa.si for most of the anime.
