Ombi

Ombi is an open-source application designed for media management and recommendation. It is primarily used in conjunction with popular Plex media server software, although it can be adapted for use with other media servers and automation systems.

The primary function of Ombi is to integrate with Plex, which allows users to manage and discover new movies, TV shows, and other media content available on their media server. Ombi also enables users to suggest new content to the Plex server, and it maintains a database of available titles across various streaming platforms.

One of the key features of Ombi is its ability to fetch metadata from various sources in multiple languages, facilitating easy content discovery. It supports such metadata providers as TheMovieDB, TMDb, and TVDB. Ombi also includes a comprehensive rating system, allowing users to provide ratings for movies and TV shows, contributing to community engagement and driving personalized content suggestions.

Ombi further integrates with other popular home automation platforms, such as Home Assistant and IFTTT, and offers web-based and mobile application user interfaces. This versatility allows users to monitor and interact with their media library across different devices and environments. The project has been maintained and actively developed by various contributors since its inception and can be freely installed on a personal computer or virtual machine.
