CLUSTER MEDIA-HOSTED-REQUEST · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-01
Self-hosted media request tools
This cluster consists of self-hosted applications for home media servers that let family members discover, request, and track movies and TV shows, with features such as per-user age rating limits, watchlists, watch history, and ratings. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from—it predates the index or its members are undated. On traction, NZBoxer and Whitelistarr lead with 1 star each, while movienight trails with 0 stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
