This interests me, but I’ll let it cook a bit more before I give it a spin. I’ve got enough customization that moving to this without disruption may be a little challenging, or token heavy.

Adding a “Copy prompt for agent” instruction to the top of your docs, would be lower friction to entry, and allow me to review what it is that needs doing. It can be hard to account for every way someone might self host in docs too, which is why I think an agent is going to have a much easier time automating the setup here.

I bought an OK tablet* and a 2TB microSD card* so everyone in my family can actually use it.

A vibe coded project like this, no matter how nice, will not help with the rest of the family.

* Samsung sm-t545 because it has a servicable battery. I loath the Samsung software part, but hardware-wise it's not bad.

*at that point it was a flash sale and for £150 not ~£400 like today :((

A 13 HOUR OLD repo? no thanks

I don’t get this. So today he can build the experience he wants with little effort (he likely spent lots of tokens). You made no judgement in the quality or on his experience, only on the age of the repo. Why exactly is that?

I get there will be a lot of crapware, but you’re hackers no? Why all the gatekeeping even amongst yourselves? How much time did the openclaw guy take to built it? A weekend?

Sure, you could say “no thanks”. But all the labs certainly thought it was useful enough to replicate. And yes, it was, still is an insecure mess littered with bugs, but why are we all so repulsed?

It’s a genuine need. I build my own version of this, also on go, haven’t shared bc I am not sure how legal it is to distribute, but I have been using it for months and definitely beats running 6+ apps that keep breaking. I run one binary + jellyfin, never going back.

The problem is not the vibecoding, it is the release of a public facing internet app that is not a day old, hence it is impossible to know if it has security issues. He is supposedly a security engineer and he RELEASES a repo with less than a day old? how do you know it is secure? Again, this is something that will interact with the open internet.

Gatekeeping would be "do not write vibecoded apps for yourself", which is not the case here, this is releasing code for the public in an irresponsible manner.

I mean, every repo was 13 hours at some point. can't hardly get security updates unless others can see and review it.

I mean, I feel you... there's no way I'm running it when it's this new... I'll let others spend their tokens probing it and check it out in a month... no shade in the dude for releasing it, but anyone who has it running right now inside their network... I hope nothing bad happens.

Also I do not want to rely on an app that can vanish any day. Established app are way less suceptible to that.

Good thing it’s open source, so the user can verify the code themselves.

Perhaps you will wait for the dry-aged repo.

I believe things will be from now on. People see a gap in the offerings out there and they just whip it up. There will be a certain amount of stability that the LLMs will add by default to all of them and that's it. If you are interested, go ahead and use it.

I create my own vibecoded apps for my own use, that is not the problem. releasing them for others (who might not know this hasn't been tested) is irresponsible.

Yeah...

This also happens with Sonarr / Radarr as you can't easily get a IMDb API key, and it works automatically because of this

Am I the only one still just manually downloading what I want into a folder that is shared via Samba with a Kodi box that takes care of cataloguing, browsing and playing?

Umm, no you check Sonarr.

I started using plex years ago because the ui-experience in Netflix was so bad. I've long-switched to plex 100%.

Subtitles? I really don't want to sign up to Opensubtitles and be hit with their ridiculous daily limit (on what is just text).

I was looking for a project just like yours and couldn't be bothered building one myself.

Edit: Gemini has provided some subtitles options.

Subtitle Search & Database APIs

• TheSubtitleDB.org: A completely free, open REST API for media players and apps. It requires no account, no API key, and has no rate limits, offering exact file hash matching as well as IMDb ID and TV episode lookups.

• Wyzie Subs (wyzie.io): A fast subtitle search API for movies and TV shows. It offers a free tier with 1,000 requests per day, sub-50ms response times, hearing-impaired filter options, and multi-language support.

• Opensubtitles-Unofficial-API: An open-source, community-hosted unofficial API. It lets you search and download subtitles from OpenSubtitle.
