Advice on improving Plex experience? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have a Plex server running on Mac OSX. Whenever I want to add media, I remotely connect into the Mac, login to my private tracker, download the torrent, wait for it to finish, then update my Plex library.

I'm hopeful that there's an easier way. I'm imagining a way I can remotely tell the Plex server what I want to watch and it takes it from there. Does such a thing exist?

OP said he's using a private tracker, are all private trackers guaranteed to work with the arr stack?

They works with almost every single reputable private tracker. I can only my think of one niche one that doesn't support prowlarr.

All the small obscure ones I've ever been apart of have worked just fine with the *arrs

Not sure if it's all of them but it looks like a lot.

Sure it does. You use prowlarr to automate connections. It doesn't actually make a connection to a particular tracker or use net host though. It just instructs your regular download client to download from a given source. If you want to use a source that is not listed, you can just add it yourself.
