Hello,

Ive figured out most of Radarr but I have movie collections like Classic Christmas Favorites that is listed as a single title in Radarr. How do I setup each movie that I've created from MakeMkv?

Like is the playing file locked from editing? Does it prevent the new file from being imported? I’m on Unraid if the behavior is OS-dependent. Question I’ve always had but have been too lazy to figure out.

So, both Project Hail Mary and now today The Devil Wears Prada 2 have had "DCP" or "Digital Cinema Package" releases show up on my indexers.

To radarr these are just 1080p web releases, so it pulls them if you want those kind of releases

However, in both cases, the quality is somewhere between a cam and an actual web release.

If these releases are going to continue, can Radarr be updated to recognize "DCP" as another quality level the same way it recognizes the terms Telesync/TS and Cam?

Solved: turns out that all the apps in the project were using the same config folder and sonarr & radarr share one file in common: config.xml and that had the 8989 port in it. I created two new folders under config (_sonarr and _radarr) and pointed their config folders respectively.

First... I'm a newbie to both docker and linux. I'm running a ugreen DXP4800 Pro. volume1 is the RAID array, volume 2 is the M.2 card. I've got a docker project that started with sabnzbd and sonarr and after a bit of a learning curve, I got it working. I added overseer and got that working. I added radarr and it worked for a bit and then suddenly I started getting timeouts on port 7878. I took the radarr code out of the project and put it into its own container with the same result... the container runs but it's listening on the wrong container. Here's the code (initially generated with Claude):

  radarr:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/radarr:latest
    container_name: stack_radarr
    restart: unless-stopped

    environment:
      - PUID=${PUID:-1003}
      - PGID=${PGID:-1000}
      - TZ=${TZ:-America/New_York}

    ports:
      - 7878:7878
#      - "${RADARR_PORT:-7878}:7878"

    volumes:
     # Radarr config and database
      - ${CONFIG_DIR:-/volume2/docker/media_stack/config}:/config
      # Root folder where Radarr moves completed movies
      - ${MOVIES_DIR:-/volume1/media/movies}:/movies 
      # Must match the completed-downloads path from SABnzbd
      - ${DOWNLOADS_DIR:-/volume2/docker/media_stack/config/downloads/complete}:/downloads

Port 7878 is specified. Here's the log for the container (7th line from the bottom shows port 8989):

I've tried destroying the containers and starting over. I've rebooted the NAS. I've tried changing the syntax and redeploying. Same result. Anyone seen this before? I posted this in r/docker but it got deleted because I didn't read their rules about posting about radarr. I've searched online and didn't find anything useful.

Thanks!

I know this is stupid, and I know I will get downvoted like crazy. But I tried to find out googling, I asked chatgpt, I installed Radarr on my NAS, heck I even imported my movie collection.

But I still do NOT understand what Radarr is and why I should use it.

The reason I installed it is because of Trailarr that needs Radarr pre-installed... so it seems to download extras and metadata?

I'm sure Radarr is a great piece of software as many people are using it. I just haven't understood what it's for.

Hoping someone can help me here...

Running Raddar with Decypharr for download client. Torbox for debrid service with Plex media server.

Using the symlink downloads from Decypharr.

If I manually go select a movie, manually select a release to download, it'll just download that one copy. Takes ~3s, everything gets passed to Decypharr file gets selected at Torbox, symlink created, plex picks it up... it's wonderful.

The problems arise when I let Radarr do the searching itself. It'll find a release, grab it send it to Decypharr. Decypharr grabs it at Torbox but for some reason Radarr believes the download has failed, so it requests another release. Decypharr then creates the symlink for the original request but Radarr doesn't see it because it thinks its failed so waits for the next release.

The next release... same thing, Radarr thinks its failed and requests it again. Rinse and repeat till I have 38 copies of the same movie. If I manually go delete one of the downloads from Decypharr queue Radarr will realise, and then seems to scan the downloads directory where it finds a release and then plonks it into it's library where plex then scans it.

I cannot get it to stop requesting the same movie multiple times and don't really know where its going wrong.

What I have noticed is that when I request a movie and it's in the decypharr queue... it doesn't show up in the activity in Radarr. Radarr will show in the logs that it "Failed to connect to qBittorrent"... but the file has been requested etc.

If I setup the qbittorrent connector from Radarr using the instructions (username = http://radarr:8989 + username = API key), I can see that Radarr automatically gets detected and shows up under the *Arrs config section in Decypharr. The test also always returns successful.

Not sure whether this is a Decypharr or Radarr issue at this point. The same thing occurs in Sonarr so perhaps it is a decypharr issue.

Hello, I am currently making use of real debrid to enable a low disk space media library that I can stream. For myself and my partner, I use stremio as the player and that works great. However, for my young children, I prefer to be able to curate their content and I feel that the profiles within Plex are well suited for this.

My issue is that when I point Plex at the media folder that Radarr manages, it cannot see any of the files. The only way to get plex to pick up the files is to point it at the rclone mount folder "__all__".

I have tried turning hardlinks on and off in Radarr, switching Decypharr between symlinks and STRM files, and setting a remote path mapping in Radarr to the "__all__" and nothing has worked so far.

While what I have now does work, its not perfect, Plex doesn't always get the meta data from the media meaning they're not displayed properly in plex. This is one of the reasons why I really want to be able to utilise the excellent media management that Radarr brings.

If someone could please point me in the right direction to enable plex to use the Radarr media library, it would be most appreciated.

SOLVED: After trying far to many things, I simply deleted the existing Radarr container, forced a download of the same Radarr image I was using prior, reinstalled with the existing config and now works just fine on my Synology NAS. I remain unsure of why this worked other than perhaps the old container became compromised or corrupted?

Thanks to all for ideas.

==============================

I have a DS 1821+ Synology NAS running Radarr Version 6.1.1.10360, Package Version 6.1.1.10360-ls303 by linuxserver.io. .NET Yes (8.0.12)

• Docker: Yes
• Database Sqlite 3.50.4
• Database Migration 242
• AppData Directory /config
• Startup Directory /app/radarr/bin

Radarr properly searches for requested titles, queues SABnzbd, and sees the progress of downloads.

More times than not, Radarr then unexplainably stops being able to retrieve the downloaded file to integrate into library due to a locked database. Time does not solve the lock.

Under EVENTS, messages such as:

>Couldn't evaluate decision on this.movie.2026.1080p.WEBRip.x265.10bit.AAC5.1, with spec: IndexerTagSpecification: database is locked

and

>Unable to retrieve queue and history items from SABnzbd: database is locked

My volume mappings are

/volume1/apps/configs/radarr3 to /config (rw)

and

/volume1/data to /data (rw)

Pretty straight forward.

The PUID and PGID are 1026 and 101, respectively, and they have full control and ownership of the data on the NAS.

It successfully has initially found SOME of the downloaded files, but once the database lock issue appears, it does not regain the capability to receive downloaded files (which are clearly in the completed folder).

I have tried restarting the containers, reinstalling the containers, deleting all downloads in progress, as well as deleting .shm and .wal files. Nothing seems to be a permanent solution.

What is very odd is that this just started happening.

Any recommendations or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all,

I’ve been building and using Servarr Companion for managing my Radarr and Sonarr stack over the past few weeks. It currently supports Radarr, Sonarr, Bazarr, Prowlarr, Deluge, and qBittorrent.

Movie and series discovery can be enabled by providing your own free TMDB API key, and discovered items can be easily added to Sonarr or Radarr.

I’m looking for around 20–30 people who are willing to try it out in different setups and provide feedback. Custom headers are supported for environments that require them, but that feature needs more thorough testing.

Full disclosure: I was a coder in a previous life, about 15 years ago, and tools like Claude Code and Codex have given me an opportunity to build something useful and hopefully get out of some small debt. The app will cost $5.99, but it will never have ads or purchases to unlock expected features. No accounts are required, and no telemetry or personal information is sent back to me.

Hermes Agent was used as a harness with Qwen3.6 27B, Codex GPT-5.5, and Qwen3-Coder.

Anyone who participates as one of the 20–30 testers will receive the app for free.

Project details can be found here:
https://servarrcompanion.com/

This is a closed test required to gain publishing access through Google Play. To participate, you’ll need to provide the email address you use on the Android device where you want to install the app. You can apply on the website, and my Hermes Agent will notify me and follow up with you.

Hi all, I apologise in advance for the repeated question, but I’m in a bit of a bind. I’m mounting my media (stored in Filen), through rclone, and using Radarr in docker.

My folder permissions originally are 775, and I can access everything okay, but when I run a scan on either Radarr or Sonarr it all changes.

for Usenet only users...are you hiding your radarr > indexer > downloader > to media server traffic?

If so, what have you found that works well?

I have my plex library that I share. But in my internal setup, I want to be able to watch 4K copies of the same movies (not all...I don't need a lot of the movies in 4K).

I've read that people keep multiple instances of Radarr running to do this, one dedicated to 4K. But how do you setup the folder structure and have Plex understand it so that when I look at, say, "Blackhawk Down" I get one movie entry, but choices for versions inside of it?

Hey everyone,

I recently ran into an issue after upgrading my NAS from 4 to 16 HDDs. After accidentally messing up my setup, I decided to rebuild everything from scratch — new Docker Compose files and a clean folder structure.

The issue:
Once files are downloaded to media/download/complete/radarr, Radarr doesn’t move them to media/films. Instead, it seems to copy the files, leaving them in the complete folder and keeping them seeding in qBittorrent.
What I’ve already tried:

•	Hardlinks  
•	Remote path mappings

Nothing worked so far.

My setup: (feel free to ask if you need more details)

•	NAS Ugreen with Docker  
•	qBittorrent as download client  
•	Radarr for movie management

Any ideas on what might be causing this? Happy to share logs, compose files or more details if needed!

New to the *arr stack and trying to achieve automation. Currently I have a Usenet setup with SABnzbd downloading to [mergerfs pool]/downloads:/data with my Jellyfin libraries at [mergerfs pool]/media/tvshows and [mergerfs pool]/media/movies.

Is there a way to have Radarr and Sonarr automatically move finished downloads into the Jellyfin library folders? Or should I just set SABnzbd to download straight to those libraries? I did download a show today in Sonarr and it seemed to automatically move everything into the Jellyfin directory, but I could tell it was doing copy operations instead of atomic moves, and I'm not yet sure how to solve that. Any help is appreciated!

Running video file on tv with google drive as source

I setup an arr stack on my old laptop(antix linux). And pointed radarr to a mounted drive and used rclone to upload movies to my 15tb google drive storage. Is there any software/explorer that i can use to watch these movies from my fire tv stick with google drive as source, without downloading of course...?
