What is Reddit's opinion of Radarr?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

/r/Piracy

I have completely stopped supporting the Music, Movie and TV industry. I haven't supported those fuckers since 2008. Recently the gaming industry as well. Fuck them. I'm not going to support the people that brainwash everyone into thinking straight white men like me are the devil incarnate.

Most of the content produced now days is shit anyways. They should be paying me to watch their ~~ads~~ "Movies".

When it comes to cunts like Youtube, use Ublock Origins. It not only blocks ads but stops them collecting certain data. Hurt them where it hurts.

Sonarr and Radarr are media automation tools. They can scrub your favorites trackers and NZB indexers to search for your wanted royalty free shows and movies, add them to the downloader of your choice (a torrent downloader or a binary newsreader) and handle the renaming of the resulting file so that you can have a neatly organised media library.

Pulsarr, which is linked in this post, is a browser add-on for adding movies to Radarr or TV Shows to Sonarr while browsing IMDB or TVDB instead of opening the webpage of your Radarr or Sonarr instance and searching+adding the wanted media here.

Install filebot and run all your movie files to rename it. Or better yet spend an afternoon reading up, installing and configuring radarr https://radarr.video/ Let it handle media renaming and potentially media grab

It takes a bit to setup but Radarr does all of this for you: https://radarr.video/

It can automatically check for new movies and will keep looking for a better version of it until it meets your requirements. It works with torrents and usenet

Dunno why no one is helping you do this simple task, yes you can set up an auto downloader with specific movie tags in your case x265 rarbg 1080p etc here's how: Get radarr here: https://radarr.video/

This is a torrent auto downloader it integrates with most torrent clients, it can search find and download any tags you set up for it on a constant basis

I found a reddit thread that explains how to use the tags for search here, seems to be 2 methods, id say try both :

https://www.reddit.com/r/radarr/comments/6kzcto/preferred_release_keyword/

If those dont work, i dunno search around setting up the search with tags or keywords should be possible,

So you can set up a list of movies in imdb, give the list link to radarr, and it'll autonsearch and download all the movies but only if those tags are matching, hope this help I have never done what you describe but I think these tools should make it possible / at least steer you into the right direction as to what you'll need to do exactly to get this working

Excuse the weird formatting and stuff im on mobile in bed,

For TV, Sonarr is your friend. You can take a look at this article from Cutting Cords that walks through the setup of various automation software, although you'd probably want to substitue Radarr for CouchPotato for movie automation.

There's a Sonarr fork for music called Lidarr, for those unfamiliar there's also a fork for movies called Radarr.

​

EDIT: I just realized I linked to the Github for Lidarr, this link is probably more informative.

Install radarr or couchpotato, setup ombi to take requests. This will allow your family to make movie requests using ombi and once you approve them they will be searched for and downloaded using radar or couchpotato.

They also accept donations (CC, no BTC unfortunately). Programmers need to eat.

Install Radarr and Sonarr, then once you've set them up it you simply add the name of the movie/tv show you want and when it's available (or a new episode is released in the case of tv shows), it will automatically download it for you (and rename/move it to your media folder if you want that too).

I just had the latest episode of Loki download for me earlier today. I didn't have to do anything. Got it in 4k as well (you can specify the minimum and maximum quality you want).

Sonarr Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.

https://sonarr.tv/

Radarr Radarr is an independent fork of Sonarr reworked for automatically downloading movies via Usenet and BitTorrent. The project was inspired by other Usenet/BitTorrent movie downloaders such as CouchPotato.

https://radarr.video/

Development of CP has been "phoned-in" for a while now. The developer turned off github issues and really only accepted merge requests, and support on the site was nearly non-existent. That beind said we do have Radarr now — which is a fork Sonarr but for movies(I wonder if it's a good replacement now?).

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Radarr & Sonarr are media management tools that can be used with torrents to help find, download, and add media to your library. There's library management stuff in there as well.
Sonarr = TV

Radarr = Movies

Lidarr = Music

I'm just now learning how to use them after years of manual management.

>Radarr does publish a swagger / openapi doc, but that is very out of date and also doesn't reflect the actual API either.

https://radarr.video/docs/api/

Point me to what is out of date or what doesn't reflect the actual API if you would please. Thanks.

Yes you can send a POST request to /movie to add a movie to radarr its detailed here. Alternatively if youre using python i wrote the ArrAPI Module to make it easy to add movies.

Ah o teu problema é arranjar o conteúdo? Como tinhas referido que já usaste torrents antes pensei que não tivesses esse problema e fosse só na parte de ver o conteúdo na tv...

Dá uma vista de olhos no radarr e sonarr. Basicamente configuras aqui e depois só tens que adicionar o que queres ver lá e aquilo faz scan de X em X tempo nos sítios configurados e mete a sacar automaticamente quando tiver disponível. Podes fazer mais coisas engraçadas tipo enviar notificação quando algo sacou.

Eu configurei trackers privados, mas também podes usar públicos se não tiveres conta em privados.

Vou explicar o meu processo.

Vejo algo que gosto, adiciono a uma lista no trakt. Tenho o radarr e sonarr à espreita dessa lista, quando alguma coisa é adicionada lá é automaticamente inserida na lista dessas aplicações. As aplicações ficam a correr em background e a pesquisar nos trackers quando está disponível algo na qualidade que eu configurei (só quero HD para cima, antes disso não me interessa), quando encontra saca o torrent e adiciona no qbittorrent automaticamente e envia-me notificação pelo pushbullet. Eu vou ao qbittorrent e meto a sacar manualmente (pode ser configurado para ser automático mas prefiro assim). Aquilo saca e fica na pasta que o plex está a ver, quando o download acabar posso na tv abrir a app e está lá para ver.

1. make a share on the download machine and put all the downloaded movies in it
2. (optionally) use radarr to download on the download machine
3. installkodi on the tv machine, locate the share
4. profit

If at all possible run the whole thing on a wired lan. wireless will work, but can cause problems in some situations.

if you really want to go down the rabbit hole (home media servers are kind of a thing) then check out /r/homeserver. Dont blame me when this happens :P

Once a file is downloaded that meets the quality requirement for a movie or TV episode radarr/sonarr will stop searching for that file. So it will only download one version of every file.

It can parse the file names of torrents pretty well so as long as it has a TV series name, season and episode it can usually find it automatically.

You can read more info about these apps here:

Your NAS would be able to download content without using another rig, but it would be easier to use your Ryzen server to handle the download portion. Just make sure the finished downloads directory points to your NAS.

​

I'm not sure if you've heard of Radarr or Sonarr, but they're great tools to help automate getting new content. You could have these running on your Ryzen, and point to the NAS that handles transcodes and data storage.

Have a look into Sonarr and Radarr to automate all your torrents - you'll never need to sneak in again. (/r/sonarr & /r/radarr)

Also, Plex will do an automatic library updated when you add/remove media - although you can change the time settings. You shouldn't need to click (https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200289306-Updating-vs-Refreshing-a-Library)

Sorry, post removed. Your post is not really specific to Usenet thus a bit too broad for /r/usenet. (Radarr is technically a PVR application)

You may want to check out /r/htpc, /r/HomeServer, /r/selfhosted, /r/radarr, or Radarr's Discord chat and GitHub pages.

Just curious, not sure if you've tweaked your torznab API to only output TV related content? And/or if that is something you can fix to also include movies?

Reason I ask is that there is a new movie tracking project forked from Sonarr called Radarr (also see /r/radarr). Since it is a Sonarr fork that means it also has Torznab support. I tested AlphaReign with it but for whatever reason the API wasn't able to return any movie content, like the searches weren't returning anything close to relevant. But the same API works fine when searching TV content w/ Sonarr or Jackett so I think it's just how AlphaReign's torznab API is set up.

After looking at the repository, I don't think I'll recommend you trying to install it.

There's no any documentation, there's a lot of obfuscation going on, (hiding the code) and I don't think the actual source code is on the repo. I only see the built APKs there in the releases directory.

I also saw an issue (in the issues tab) where someone talks about monetization/ads:

> "I guess you are using Vungle to monetize your app, do they accept unpublished apps?"

Instead of using this app, I recommend you to set up a Jellyfin + Radarr + Sonarr combo.

NOTE: I am not a JavaScript developer (I only use C# and Python) but in the resolver folder, I think it's kind of a website wrapper? I'm sure someone is more knowledgeable than me to answer that. Or just test it on a VM...

Sonarr for TV shows

Radarr for movies

Can be used with torrents, but works best with usenet. I set them up to use both torrent and usenet for maximum results.

Check out Sonarr and Radarr. These have really great organization tools that can save a ton of time for finding episodes and renaming files if needed. They aren’t players in and of themselves, but they were a game changer for me. You don’t need to use any of the grabber utilities, the organization was enough for me to love them.

https://sonarr.tv/

https://radarr.video/

As for playback I really like Kodi. It checks all the boxes that you laid out and it is free. The setup would probably take about 15 minutes, so not a ton of time to see if it works for you.

Cheap NAS or old PC + hard drives and a VPN (depending on where you live). Once you have that just set up Sonarr and Radarr for completely automated downloading and storing of movies/tv as they release. I have mine set up so my users can request through Discord using a bot.

Yup!

Don't have the database in front of me but it should be in the history table.

The UI is just lipstick on the API, so you can probably automate it fairly easily ish.

https://radarr.video/docs/api/#/History/get-history-movie

Disclaimer: API docs are pretty well done, but may be a bit incomplete. Best way to see more is either just poke around it or better yet watch the api calls the browser makes from the browser dev tools network tab

Where do you host PLEX? If you just want to manage your media library and add stuff ... install Radarr and Sonarr on the server and let the magic happen. Much cheaper than >700$ for a single purpose laptop ;-)

That version is not supported and has not been supported in well over a year.

I'm not even sure if that version is able to update / those update servers still exist at this point.

You probably will need to explore moving away from Qnap or using docker and I don't know if the Qnap community ever made a v3 version. If they have, we certainly have not been talked to. https://radarr.video/#downloads-v3-nas-qnap

I think it might be easier to use the OS stats to find the Last Access or Creation date:

https://thispointer.com/python-how-to-get-last-access-creation-date-time-of-a-file/

I was going to have the time limit for deletion be a variable so it would be easy to customize it for anyone that wanted to. I was thinking of starting with 24 months and seeing how that worked.

For my end would be best to remove from radarr/sonarr so users could request it back in the future, but would probably just be easier to delete the file itself which would be fine I think.

I've looked into the API for radarr/sonarr and deleting a movie is possible, however would need to look up the ID before being able to run that

https://radarr.video/docs/api/#/Movie/deleteMovie

[Jacket]: works as a proxy server: it translates queries from apps (Sonarr, Radarr, SickRage, CouchPotato, Mylar, Lidarr, DuckieTV, qBittorrent, Nefarious etc.) into tracker-site-specific http queries, parses the html response, then sends results back to the requesting software. This allows for getting recent uploads (like RSS) and performing searches. Jackett is a single repository of maintained indexer scraping & translation logic - removing the burden from other apps.

TLDR: its a meta search engine you can add any number of trackers including RARBG to. Sonarr and Radarr are usually used in combination with it but not necessary.

Regular expressions (regex or regexp) are extremely useful in extracting information from any text by searching for one or more matches of a specific search pattern. So for example (x265-RARBG|MeGusta|ZMNT|Psyz) is a regular expression that would find any torrents containing any of the 4 groups listed in the name. They are mainly useful for automated downloading in combination with Sonarr and Radarr but qbittorrent also supports it and can be linked with jackett directly.

you're probably just looking at the json response which is the string you're seeing;

https://radarr.video/docs/api/#/Movie/post_movie

schema: monitored boolean

the API is less lax with 3.2.2 and stricter for validation

> I'm lazy and don't want to write it, but I can handle everything except the query to Radarr; how would I ask Radarr what the file path is for a given movie? Is it a MySQL query or an API call?

I guess going to the website or github and clicking API docs is too difficult? :P

https://radarr.video/docs/api/#/Movie/getMovie

Set up Radarrand follow Trash's Guide to ensure quality.

It's much better than using any website. (I used to only download YTS releases from their site, until I set this up, and its miles better)

I use Radarr to name my movies the way I like.

I use the naming format suggested here (Trash's Guide)

EDIT: After doing so, clear Plex cache and metadata and whatnot, and make it re-scan your library.

It would be SUPER handy to have that linked on the main website download page! I just spent a couple minutes looking for instructions, and I don't like a lot of the blog writeups either.

While you can always rip movies from DVDs/Bluerays, you might also want to look into Radarr and/or Sonarr or Medusa.

Then you can for example simply download a copy from the internet for a disk that you already have, so you don't need to rip it yourself.

This will help a lot: https://radarr.video/docs/api/#/Import%20Lists/get-importlist-id

What you basically want to do is invoke this curl command where the ID is the ID of your Radarr list.

curl -X GET "https://localhost:7878/api/v3/importlist/3" -H "accept: /"

Hmmm not sure about that one. I can say that the api docs have been moved to here hopefully that can sort you out. If not I’d hop onto our discord and maybe have a go with our support guys or even one of the devs could get you back up and running.

I would use something like radarr and add all the movies you have to it, let it try to download everything in your collection from usenet and/or torrents. Anything that can't be found, you can take the time to rip and hand encode in the best way possible. It is very unlikely you've got anything truly unique.

Haha If you haven’t checked out Radarr or Sonarr, I highly recommend it.

Automatically searches for and downloads movies and tv shows, while following custom format options like size and resolution, and automatically puts them in folders easily recognized by software like Kodi or Plex haha

Well, you can get a list of your movies and their res and bitrate with Tautulli. I'm pretty sure Radarr and Sonarr can be configured to replace movies and TV shows with higher quality versions if you get it all set up right.

If that doesn't work look into https://radarr.video/ I believe it changes metadata when importing into it. I could be wrong I know it changes it when something is downloaded through it.

I'm sure there is some kind of duplicate finder app for your OS that someone will probably chime in with, but yeah otherwise, one by one.

I would also recommend as a possibility, if this situation is one you're frequently in, use Radarr to download your movies. Least that way if you already have it, you'll see it in there and you won't (shouldn't) end up with duplicates in the end.

Maybe look into Ombi, Sonarr and Radarr. Really helps with the experience for users and managing requests without getting like a billion PMs.

Radarr

Part of the “arr” family of applications.

Radarr - movies, Sonarr - tv, Lidarr - music.

Few others for other media.

Uses a Usenet indexer and service to download media.

Very automated. Does most of the work for you. Downloads according to the quality and file size you tell it. Keeps your media organized also.

Radarr might be a good replacement for you if it's not working since it fills the same function as well as downloading it for you. Its parent program Sonarr fills a similar function for tv shows that's super handy.

It is an application you run locally and tie to your file downloader, your plex, and a list of movies you want. It handles most of the rest.

https://radarr.video/

/r/radarr

There is also sonarr (Series/TV) and lidarr (Music, not as bulletproof as the other two)

Tautulli integrates with Plex and can provide useful info, and it can send out news letters and stuff if you share Plex with friends/family.

• Sonarr
• Radarr

Both of those can integrate with torrents or usenet, they can also automatically tell Plex to refresh for new media, pretty much it's TV shows and movie automation.

If you to go through the effort and put the folder with all your movie files itself into something like 'radarr' or 'tinymediamanager' it will be able to manage, rename and organise it into something plex friendly. It can also scrape all the metadata and put it into nfo files which plex can read from to match to the correct movie straight away.

This will take time since you have 1000+ movie but could well be worth the effort in the long run.

They're not plugins. They're separate programs. The install tutorials on their sites are pretty good.

https://sonarr.tv/

https://radarr.video/

Usenet is a torrent alternative with fewer privacy issues (you can't be spied on by media companies and get copyright notices). But it costs more than a decent VPN.

I run lftp, sonarr & radarr all within the same jail instead of using 3 IPs for 'related' services.

Both Sonarr and Radarr use web interfaces to manage what to download, you add tv shows/movies in whether previously aired or yet to be released and they will watch for them and download when announced.

You can set quality restrictions along with size, etc. eg. I have some newer shows only grab in 720p x265 and others only via 1080p HD releases.

Check out https://sonarr.tv/ & https://radarr.video/ for sonarr/radarr.

Look at following forum post for creating jails - https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?resources/fn11-2-iocage-jails-plex-tautulli-sonarr-radarr-lidarr-jackett-transmission-organizr.58/

Those examples create a new jail per sonarr/radarr, etc except i do it all in 1 and use /config/sonarr & /config/radarr separate datasets for their respective data.

You can rename files in your torrent client. You should probably be using qBittorrent since it is open source and has no ad or history of its developers trying to spread cryptomining malware to users (like BitTorrent mainline and uTorrent do). Just right click a file in the Content pane and select "Rename", or press F2. From this same menu, you can also deselect any ad TXT files.

You can also hardlink files from your download directory to another directory for file management, and give them different names there. Hardlinks allow two copies of a file to exist in two different folders without consuming any additional hard disk space. You can of course no hardlink any spam files like samples/txt files when you do this.

Automatic download clients like Radarr can manage all of that for you.

From the list you've written, id say you'd definitely be able to get Sonarr and Radarr running, for automation in regards to films & tv, take a look.

You may be looking for a combination of Radarr Sonarr and Plex media server?

Radarr and sonarr are video media managers and plex server provides the video streaming server backend you can view using plex media player from pc's and mobile devices.

r/Radarr https://radarr.video/ looks like it's compatible,
also r/Sonarr https://sonarr.tv/
In Radarr, you can connect your torrent client, Then add relevant rss feed to "indexers" tab.
Also add rar-bg to indexers for manual search ability.
Then you can populate "lists" tab with anything "popular" to watch for new movie releases to browse through. I have it set up to watch for new/popular/future releases, flag the ones I want, then auto-download only the top result within a certain profile and filesize.

this may be not what you are asking exactly but i have had quite a few issues with couchpotato over the years and recently switched to radarr. radarr is a fork of sonarr so extremely similar interface but designed for movies. much easier to handle in my opinion with less problems. i recommend checking it out https://radarr.video/

as far as the drive situation i would look at snapraid and mergerfs. snapraid will allow you to set up parity without being destructive to the drives and is fairly simple to use. mergerfs will pool the drives to make them look like one big drive that you can read and write too. the benefit of snapraid is you can add drives that already have data, the data is stored normally on the drive so each individual drive can be read normally in any system. your parity drive has to be at least the size of the largest your data drives but beyond that you can mix and match hdd sizes. i haven't personally used mergerfs because i run windows and use drivepool but have heard a lot of good things about it

Oh nice, yep it's definitely coming. Check the latest comments: galli-leo already did a test implementation in a feature/prefered-words branch.

That's exactly the point. A lot of us like to have DTS-HD > DTS if available. With this feature, it will be possible to do so.

Thanks radarr team, you are really doing great progress!! Just donated some bucks and everybody reading this should do so too: https://radarr.video/
