I have a Plex server running on Mac OSX. Whenever I want to add media, I remotely connect into the Mac, login to my private tracker, download the torrent, wait for it to finish, then update my Plex library.

I’m hopeful that there’s an easier way. I’m imagining a way I can remotely tell the Plex server what I want to watch and it takes it from there. Does such a thing exist?

    I can’t disable transcoding globally, I have to mess with horrible config menus on every client I want to use. Library scans take more than 30 minutes on my i7-4790k NAS - after that I just stopped and removed the jellyfin server from it. Just being open source is not enough. Once it starts working as a user-first app I’ll gladly switch over.
