Medusa is a self-hosted, open-source PVR application that automatically manages TV show libraries. It monitors configured shows, searches Usenet and torrent providers, sends releases to download clients, and post-processes episodes with renaming, metadata, and subtitles.

Use cases

  • automatically download new tv show episodes
  • manage and organize my tv series library
  • search usenet and torrents for episodes automatically
  • rename and add metadata to downloaded episodes
  • download subtitles for tv shows automatically
  • self-hosted pvr for plex kodi emby

When to choose

  • you want automated, scheduled episode searching and backlog grabbing for TV shows
  • you use torrent or Usenet download clients and want integration with Plex, Kodi, or Emby
  • you want a self-hosted, actively maintained Sick Beard fork with rich provider and post-processing options

When to avoid

  • you need a movie manager rather than TV shows (use Radarr instead)
  • you don't have external torrent/Usenet providers and a compatible download client
  • you want a fully hands-off legal streaming service - Medusa provides no media itself
