Streaming Media Download Tools

Radarr is a movie collection automation manager that monitors media sources to automatically download, organize, and upgrade digital movie files. It functions as a service that integrates with Usenet and BitTorrent download clients to handle the retrieval and error management of files without manual intervention. The system distinguishes itself through a modular provider architecture that supports dynamic loading of external indexers and download clients. Users can define specific resolution and format requirements through custom quality profiles, which the application uses to automatically acquire and upgrade media to meet preferred viewing standards. Beyond core automation, the software maintains a local media library by monitoring directory structures and managing file organization. It also acts as a metadata organizer, fetching and arranging movie information, posters, and subtitles to ensure compatibility with external media server software. All internal logic is exposed through a structured interface, allowing for integration with external services and persistent storage of configuration and history.

This project is a cross-platform media center, player, and digital media library manager. It serves as a centralized home theater hub for organizing, managing, and playing digital audio and video files across multiple operating systems. The application features a skinable media interface designed for remote control and ten-foot interface optimization. This is supported by a skinning engine that separates visual layout from application logic, allowing for custom user interface designs. The system provides automated media library organization by scanning folders to generate structured databases with metadata, descriptions, and cover art. It supports multi-format media playback and network content streaming from local storage or internet sources. The codebase utilizes a cross-platform build system to generate executable binaries and supports a plugin-based architecture for loading external extensions.

Res-downloader is a network proxy utility designed to intercept, analyze, and extract multimedia assets from web traffic. It functions as a gateway that captures video, audio, and image files directly from data streams for local storage and offline access. The tool employs man-in-the-middle interception to decrypt and inspect network packets, allowing it to identify media resources through pattern matching and content type filtering. It integrates proxy-based routing to manage outgoing requests, enabling the retrieval of content that may be subject to regional restrictions or network-level access policies. The software handles large media streams by processing data asynchronously, ensuring that file reconstruction occurs without blocking the primary execution flow. It provides a framework for archiving web-based media and analyzing how online platforms deliver content to end users.
