I had this realization about 5 years ago and just started building out my Plex server. Today I have over 10 TB of movies and shows on there and we love it. Being able to watch any show from any platform is a breeze, and with my file server I can download torrents anywhere and they instantly move to my seedbox and start downloading, so it's super easy to add new content. Fuck streaming services.
Yesterday I finished automating my seedbox and oh my, it's so so good. I gave my family their Plex accounts and they're so happy getting any movie or tv show they want in two clicks in any device they have. Plex->Overseerr->Radarr/Sonarr->Download, it was so satisfying to set up, a lot of fun too haha. I even set up a Telegram bot so they know when their requests are available.
That's cool! My setup isn't quite so automated, but I do like to really curate the content that's on there. IE ensuring it has the proper codecs for audio and video, has subs, is good quality, etc. But I can download the torrent files from any device, they get sent to my seedbox via a VPN no matter where I am, then the torrent program starts downloading. Then I can just drag and drop into my plex folder, which scans every 6 hours for new stuff.
You can set up quality profiles in Radarr/Sonarr and they can get very specific through Regex. You can also set up the root folder to your Plex folder for them to get downloaded there automatically.
