Explanation

Explanation pages give background on why Mydia works the way it does. Nothing here is needed to get something done; for that see the how-to guides.

• Why configuration is layered - what the database overlay buys, and what it costs
• How a title becomes a file - the path from search to library, and where it stalls
• Why Mydia picked that release - how release scoring actually works
• How remote access works - the p2p mesh behind remote access, and what it depends on
• How Mydia runs - why Mydia is a single instance, and when PostgreSQL earns its keep
• Mydia compared to Radarr and Sonarr - the honest positioning argument
