LatestArr

Your own LatestArr instance: a regular, nicely designed email telling the people who use your media server what's newly arrived.

Early Access

This app is a brand-new addition to ElfHosted, and is considered beta. It runs, we test it, and your trial lets you prove it fits before you commit, but our support team does not yet have deep experience with it. Expect some trial and error: lean on the upstream documentation, experiment freely, and share what you learn in Discord, where the community and team are figuring these new apps out together. If you need a battle-tested workflow today, our established apps are the safer pick.

What is LatestArr?

LatestArr is an open-source newsletter for media servers. Instead of a chat message asking whether the new season is up yet, your users get a tidy email of everything that arrived since the last one: films and shows, and audiobooks, ebooks and games too.

Key Features

• Many sources: Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Audiobookshelf, BookLore, Grimmory, BookOrbit, RomM and Tautulli.
• Your design: Choose the layout, sections, subject line and cadence.
• Recipients and groups: Send to everyone, or different newsletters to different people.
• Pictures inside the email: Posters travel inside each email, and each title links back to your own server.
• Test first: Send yourself a copy before it goes out.

Why Run LatestArr on ElfHosted?

A newsletter is only useful if it goes out on time and lands in an inbox. ElfHosted keeps LatestArr running, and sends the email for you.

• Email that just works: Point LatestArr at ElfHosted's mail relay and your newsletters go out, with no mail server to set up.
• Managed and maintained: Your instance is provisioned in minutes, kept updated, and backed by friendly humans on Discord.
• Persistent and backed up: Your newsletters, sources and settings survive restarts and upgrades, with a daily backup.
• Simple subscription: One flat monthly price with a 7-day trial, cancel anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I log in?
LatestArr sits behind your ElfHosted login. On your first visit it shows a one-time setup screen: complete it straight away, and that account becomes the admin.

How do I send through ElfHosted?
Add an SMTP profile with host 127.0.0.1, port 1025, no username or password, and secure (TLS) off. The setup guide in our docs walks through it.

Does it work with my existing media server?
Yes, with any of the sources above that you run with ElfHosted or elsewhere: add its address and an API key or token.
