Your media server should automatically download subtitles in the languages you choose, if they are available. +- **Support for Web, Android, iOS, Android TV and whatever that can support Emby:** Since we are leveraging from Emby, you should be able to watch your favorite media almost anywhere. + + +## What's installed with YAMS? + +- [Sonarr](https://sonarr.tv/) +- [Radarr](https://radarr.video/) +- [Emby](https://emby.media/) +- [qBittorrent](https://www.qbittorrent.org/) +- [Bazarr](https://www.bazarr.media/) +- [Jackett](https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett) + +With this combination, you can create a fully functional media server that is going to download, categorize, subtitle and serve your favorite shows and movies. + +## Why did you choose <this_software> instead of <that_software>? + +Because. That's why it's _**opinionated**_, you don't _necessarily_ have to agree with me. This setup is aimed at noobs and first time media server enthusiasts. You can always use my sources and create a better project 🔥 |
