Fetcharr - a human-developed Huntarr replacement

Disclaimer: I am the developer

Long story short, after Huntarr exploded I still wanted an app that did the core of Huntarr’s job: find and fetch missing or upgradable media. I looked around for some solutions but didn’t like them for various reasons. So, I made my own.

No web UI, configured via environment variables in a similar manner to Unpackerr. It does one job and it does it (a little too) well. Even when trying a few different solutions for a few days each, Fetcharr caught a bunch of stuff they all missed almost immediately. This is likely due to the way it weights media for search.

Since you made it this far, a few notes: 1) I did still use ChatGPT on a couple of occasions. They’re documented and entirely web UI - no agents. Anything it gave me was vetted and noted in the code before publishing. 2) The current icon is temporary and LLM-generated. I’ve put out some feelers to pay an artist to create an icon. Waiting to hear back. 3) It’s written in Java because that’s the language I’m most familiar with. SSL certs in Java containers can be painful but I added some code to make it as easy as Python requests or Node 4) While it still has a skip-if-tagged-with-X feature, it doesn’t create or apply any tags. I didn’t find that portion necessary, despite other popular *arrs using it. Not sure why they do, even after developing this. 5) Caution is advised when first using it on a large media collection. It’ll very likely pick up quite a number of things initially if you weren’t on top of things beforehand. Just make sure your pipeline is set up well, or you limit the number of searches or lengthen the amount of time between searches using the environment variables.

Not sure what you mean by that. I occasionally use the web UI as the tool that it is and I’ve played around with opencode, cursor, etc previously on other home projects to get a sense for where things are and what the limits of these things are. That said, I take pride in my own work and this project is no exception. Is there something in this project that makes you think I threw a prompt into cursor and am passing that off as my own? Or are you against the idea of using an LLM and consider any person or project using them at all to be vibecoded?

That’s great! A cronjob can be effective if your indexer doesn’t mind the extra strain or you have a small library.

Do humans also have an afterlife in lotr like elves? For that matter, what about dwarfs, hobbits (non fellowship) …orcs?

What do you think the orcs are? Like, which would be your preferred answer to the question, since there appears to be no singular one according to the youtube clip? Or could they be like a group of all four creation myths? :)

based on the text of The Silmarillion, I’d have to say that, being originally Elves, and Melkor having no power to create spirits or imbue living brings with spirits (not even the other Valar can do this, only Ilúvatar; this is demonstrated when Aulë creates the Dwarves), then the Orcs must still have Elven spirits, and thus go to Mandos when they die. but again, that’s assuming The Silmarillion is authoritative on the matter, which it may not be
