Summary

Adds RundfunkArr to the Complimenting Apps section.

This is a Node.js/TypeScript implementation providing a lightweight alternative to the existing C#/.NET MediathekArr. Key differences:

  • Tech Stack: Node.js/TypeScript vs C#/.NET
  • Resource Usage: Lower memory footprint and faster startup
  • Runtime: No .NET runtime required, just Node.js
  • Extended Features: Includes Radarr support for movies - not available in the original

Both projects serve the same purpose (integrating German public TV Mediatheken with *arr apps), but users may prefer one over the other based on their server environment and feature requirements.

@Ravencentric

A project with the same name and identical functionality and use case has been around for quite some time:

https://github.com/PCJones/MediathekArr

In addition, the code and all rulesets were allegedly "stolen" from mediathekarr.

The project presented here is obviously based on ai-assisted development, something that is not mentioned in a transparent manner anywhere.

The original project can be found at https://github.com/PCJones/MediathekArr - this Node.js variant (https://github.com/rundfunkarr/rundfunkarr) is inspired by it but is an independent reimplementation.

Worth noting: The Node.js version already offers extended functionality, for example Radarr support for movies has been added - a feature not present in the original.

Regarding AI-assisted development: Many modern projects use AI tools for support. This doesn't change the functionality or quality of the code.
