r/sonarr

It would.be so awesome to be able to add a movie on the go.

hello everyone!

so i started torrenting animes not that long ago, i used to do this : torrent -> rename -> move into folder -> folder gets indexed by jellyfin and yay i can watch my anime; but i've started watching more weekly releases and downloading an episode per week has been annoying, especially when im away.

I already tried to setup sonarr but didn't quite get the result i wanted from it.

Basically the only thing i need from sonarr is to search for torrents that are japanese-dubbed only or that have the jap dub; subbed in either english, french or both, i also want him to prefer fansubs over regular subs and to only download episodes that are less than like 3gb.

thanks in advance to anybody who is able to help :)

if something wasn't clear, feel free to ask and i'll do my best to answer

I recently added usenet to my setup to search for older stuff, and I can tell that I'm getting duplicates because NZBGet just moves the whole file to the folder to be picked up by Plex, while Deluge creates symbolic links.

I have 3 indexers in total, one for usenet and two for torrents, and I set the priority on NZBGeek to 1, leaving the other two on 25. I manage all indexers through Prowlarr. The only thing I copped today was that in Sonarr I had both download clients set to one, so I changed that so it's Deluge now priority 25 while NZBGet is 1.

If I'm not misunderstanding, once a download happens that file stays monitored in Sonarr to allow for any needed upgrades or repacks, and I manually unmonitor when I'm happy with what I got. So, is this what is causing the dupes when I get a copy from NZBGet and another from Deluge? Or is it something else?

Is there something I'm missing that might prevent downloads going to both Deluge and NZBGet?

Been running FlareSolverr for a long time for my *arr stack and got tired of the 11-18s solve times and constant breakage. Built TRAWL as a drop-in replacement!

Key differences:

• Cloudflare solves in 4-15s (vs 11-18s) - uses a fresh Camoufox Firefox context which triggers CF's fast-path evaluation
• Cached repeat requests return in ~500ms via Redis - after the first solve, the same domain is instant
• Actually solves in-page captchas: Turnstile (shadow DOM click), reCAPTCHA v2 (free Google STT audio), hCaptcha (auto-pass), GeeTest v4
• 4-tier execution: plain HTTP → cached session → live browser solve → residential proxy. You pay the full browser cost only when you have to
• Custom headers support - pass Authorization, Referer, Origin through all 4 tiers including browser
• FlareSolverr v2 compatible - change one URL in Prowlarr/Jackett, nothing else

Happy to answer questions. Still early but it's been running stable on my homelab and no issues so far.

Regularly Sonarr grab a release and while it’s still downloading, it grab another one with an higher score. The problem happen when the upgraded release is downloaded first and imported, the first release is stuck in the queue because that’s not an upgrade of the existing release.

Is there any solution to avoid that ?

Second question, it’s possible to change the label in the download client when the release is imported but is it possible to do it when it’s upgraded so I can identify the one that are no longer in use ?

eztv, Uindex both are blocked by CloudFlare Protection, flaresolverr can't slove the problem

First off, I'm aware how many are distrustful of AI with their media stack. If this is you, no worries I get that. All I ask you is kindly ignore.

Now to the fun part. I've been dogfooding an app and iterating for the past 2 months based on day-to-day media server management tasks. Decided to open-source it so, announcing Stackarr: A central control plane to manage your media stack with the help of AI agents like Claude, Hermes and OpenClaw etc.

Some of the standout features include:

• UI Dashboard to monitor your entire media stack
• Lightweight in-browser Docker for Desktop replacement
• MCP Server and CLI for agent-based setup
• Cloudflare tunnel setup to expose any services publicly via custom domain
• Backup & Restore Stack (Offsite cloud integration coming soon)
• Portless Service Mapping to human-readable URL's (plex.stackarr)
• Hermes Agent & OpenClaw Plugins / Skills

After installing agents on the same Mac Mini that Plex et al. runs on it made me realise how easy having access to this via Telegram, Discord makes managing your media server. For example once I forgot to leave Tailscale open and I asked my agent to configure it so I could access media stack remotely. It's saved me countless times when inevitable bugs or wrinkles form in the flow. With the help of automated backups and using a decent provider most of the risk is mitigated. I haven't had any irrecoverable losses running it 24/7.

The goal is not to replace any of the apps it manages but merely to interact with them using native API's and maintain an agent-friendly control system with harnesses. I would love for you to give it a try. This is not abandonware and something I plan to maintain for some time.

Disclaimer: This has only been tested on Mac with Docker image, I'm looking for Windows and Linux testers to report any bugs here: https://github.com/b-bot/Stackarr - If you are not interested I would appreciate a star!

There is an official image on Docker Hub too, for full setup and docs go here: https://stackarr.app/

Parts of this were AI-coded but this isn't a vibe coded project, I'm an engineer by trade for more than a decade. The UI was whipped up quickly using component library defaults but I will be doing an entire UI redesign when the functionality is solidified. I added the flair nonetheless to appease the overlords :)

My media server volume failed and I lost everything. I just have my root "TV shows" folder but no series folders under it. How can I make sonarr re-download all my series, it's too many to go one by one deleting and re-getting them. Because the series folders don't exist it seems sonarr can't detect the files as missing.

Assume I'm a noob. Also assume I don't find the sonarr UI intuitive AT ALL.

Thanks!

The NZBFinder site states the following, so I am just asking whether Sonarr supports v2 or only v1?

This API returns XML only, as per the Newznab specification. All responses (except NZB file downloads) are XML documents.

If you need JSON output, use the V2 API instead.

Sonarr, Radarr and similar apps expect this legacy v1 API (XML) so use this API when configuring them. Do not point those apps at the V2 API because it will not work.

J’ai commencé à créer cette app pour moi vu que je ne trouvais pas d’app qui correspondait pleinement à mes besoins. Et arrivé à un certain stade je me suis dit que ça pourrait peut intéresser d’autres personnes.
Ma config est la suivante : Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr/Seerr/Qbittorrent/QuiV2/Portainer, tout ça tourne sur un Vps. Tous les fichiers multimédia sont stockés sur mon Nas Synology à domicile, monté en NFS sur le VPS. À la maison un petit média center tourne sous Jellyfin et alimente les AppleTV de la maison avec Infuse❤️.
Mon app IOS gère tout ça : les ajouts de média se font via une intégration de Seerr, les recherches de média et DL sont gérées par la suite ARR et téléchargées via QBitTorrent/QuiV2.
L’app a un suivi des imports jusqu’à intégration dans Jellyfin!
L’état des services est aussi surveillé, ainsi que l’état des stockages.
Des widgets sont également de la partie pour avoir un aperçu (sans ouvrir l’app) des services, stockage & Cie
J’ai prévu la version IPad et AppleTV
Pour le moment elle est dépendante d’une api via docker qui permet pas mal de fonctionnalités, je regarde à pouvoir intégrer tous les réglages de services in App mais il va falloir faire des concessions, donc je maintiendrai les 2 solutions de réglages.

Si cela vous intéresse faites signe 😉

I have one show that my wife watches, and for some reason it does not update automatically. I manually went into the series and did a "Search Monitored" and it found the last 4 episodes. I'm just trying to figure out why it isn't finding the episodes automatically.

Hey ya’ll, I’m fairly new to self hosting with Jellyfin and so far, it’s been wonderful. However, I was looking into ways to automate the process of updating ongoing shows that have new episodes. But that’s beside the point.

Right now, I have multiple libraries sorted by genre for movies and mediums for shows (anime, cartoon, live action). My main question I have right now is if it’s possible to make Sonarr/Radarr automatically sort new, requested shows/movies into my separated libraries on Jellyfin. For example, if someone requests a cartoon show, Sonarr would download it into the cartoon folder. It sounds simple but also a little complicated considering I have so many folders, would I need a script for this? Thank you in advance for any advice anyone may have.

The Sonarr logs show 161 series were deleted in 5 seconds in an automated, bulk operation. Because I didn't have the recycle bin setup, they permanently deleted. I am annoyed, but I'm more concerned about preventing it from happening again. What the heck do I do? I haven't changed anything on my system for months, so what could have caused it?

Existe t il une liste des arr avec leur fonction ?
Merci

Hey everyone, I've noticed lately that whenever I watch something recently released, halfway through an episode it'll stop playing because sonarr has grabbed a new release and deleted the old file which causes an error in both plex and jellyfin. Is there any way to pause upgrading on something currently being watched or something along those lines? Thanks!

I have been using Sonarr for years and have hundreds of shows. I recently realized that separating out anime from regular shows would be a good idea. They're all in my shows folder. I would like to move all of my anime to an anime specific folder.

What's the easiest way to transition to having a separate folder? My end goal would be a clear separation of anime vs tv shows, I don't mind either using different profiles or different Sonarr instances. Whichever is easiest. For example, is there a way to "import" shows from a Sonarr instance to another?
