I Built a Python script that uses a local Ollama LLM to automatically find and add movies to Radarr.
It picks random films from your library, asks Ollama for similar suggestions based on theme and atmosphere, validates against OMDb, scores with plot embeddings, then adds the top results to Radarr automatically.
Examples:
- Whiplash → La La Land, Birdman, All That Jazz
- The Thing → In the Mouth of Madness, It Follows, The Descent
- In Bruges → Seven Psychopaths, Dead Man's Shoes
Features:
- 100% local, no external AI API
- --auto mode for daily cron/Task Scheduler
- --genre "Horror" for themed movie nights
- Persistent blacklist, configurable quality profile
- Works on Windows, Linux, Mac

Didn't down vote you. I hear this line of complaint in conjunction with AI, especially if the person saying it is anti-AI. Without even calculating in AI, some 25 million metric tons of CO2 emissions annually from streaming and content consumption. Computers, smartphones, and tablets can emit around 200 million metric tons CO2 per year in electrical consumption. Take data centers for instance. If they are powered by fossil fuels, this can add about 100 million metric tons of CO2 emissions. Infrastructure contributes around 50 million metric tons of CO2 per year.
Now.....who wants to turn off their servers and computers? Volunteers? While it is true that AI does contribute, we're already pumping out some significant CO2 without it. Until we start switching to renewable energy globally, this will continue to climb with or without AI. It seems tho, that we will have to deplete the fossil fuel supply globally before renewables become the de facto standard.
