    I’m sorry. What exactly does this do? I’ve read the description twice and still don’t understand.

      TL:dr

      Plugin for on demand pirate streams (Debrid) as separate channel in Jellyfin (home media server).

      Less tldr:

      Plug in that turns Jellyfin into a torrent-stream aggregator without needing to manage torrents locally.

      Plug in takes Debrid services (RealDebrid, TorBox, etc) and serves them as direct HTTP streams in JF.

      The readme is sort of confusing (and there’s an AGENTS.md if that sort of thing worries you) but that’s what this appears to do.

      It’s a service that stays between jellyfin and debris providers, kinda like what zurg and debridmediamanager does. It does lots of things, but mainly it’ll let you use a single interface to add torrent in bulk to both realdebrid and torbox and have them show in a single folder. The archive will preserve all torrent it sees so you never lose them. It allows migrations from any provider so you can move infringing torrents to torbox. It downloads subs so that you don’t need to rely on jellyfin which is terrible for that or need a other separate stack like prowlarr.

      Jellyfin is also much less permissive than Plex about how you build your library, so it’ll create a folder called curated/ with the videos organized so that jellyfin can pick them up.

      Jellyfin is a homeserver app that enables streaming of multiple types (shows, films, music and like photo backups in general). Debrid changes a few things in the app.
