r/sonarr

My Sonarr has a lot of shows (475), and many have ended, and are no longer in production. So I'd like to delete them. Searches speak of doing a Mass Edit and filter on "Ended". I see that that Mass Editor is different in v4, but I don't see how to filter just the Ended shows, so I can delete all of them (unless I'm just totally misunderstanding what I'm seeing, and what I need to be doing here)

So: can I do this purge from within Sonarr, or should I be looking at Maintainarr (or Cleanarr? I've seen both mentioned as having the capability to do this). I'm not sure when else I'd need either program again, once this big cleanup is done.

I don't want to delete the media files, just get the shows out of Sonarr.

Thanks for any pointers.

I use usenet for TV shows. NZBGet and Sonarr, both are on Docker containers on a brand new Synology 425+. The entire file system is on the same Synology. My issue is when NZBGet downloads the show and then Sonarr copies the files from the NZBGet download folder to the Plex media folder, I am unable to have that done with an atomic transfer or a hardlink. My CPU goes to 100% but 60-70% is from I/O Wait from the slow file moving. I have tried EVERYTHING I can find.

-Updated my file structure to what TRaSH-Guides recommends. Source and destination in the same shared folder, off the same root folder, and mapped exactly how the guide recommends.

-I have one user that runs all of my containers specified in the Docker compose along with UMASK-002 for all of my *Arr applications including NZBGet.

-That user has full read/write access to my source and destination folders.

-My Sonarr and NZBGet apps are configured with the directory mappings that TRaSH-Guides specifies and hardlinks are enabled in Sonarr.

-I have verifed that the files that are copied do have the right username as their owner.

-In my Sonarr logs, it also still shows the file transfer as "move" and not "hardlink."

I'd love some help here.

Quick update on Rexarr, the self-hosted Blu-ray/DVD ripping and remux transcoding app that plugs into Radarr, Sonarr and Prowlarr: it's finally on GitHub.

GitHub link

Since my first post, a few things have changed:

• The repo is public, with a Docker image (PUID/PGID support, healthcheck, compose file) plus an optional image with MakeMKV baked in for disc ripping
• Documentation is up, covering setup, path mappings, transcode profiles and hardware acceleration
• It has real contributors now. I started this with a fair bit of vibe coding, but it's no longer just that. People who actually know what they're doing are in the codebase, which makes it a lot more trustworthy than a weekend project I built for myself

For anyone who missed the first post, Rexarr handles disc detection and MakeMKV ripping, remux transcoding through ffmpeg with configurable profiles and hardware acceleration, and auto-transcode on import via Radarr/Sonarr webhooks. Full-disc releases (Blu-ray ISO, BDMV, DVD ISO) are next on the roadmap, so Rexarr can rip and import those when no remux exists.

It's still early, so expect rough edges. Issues, feature requests and PRs are all welcome, and I'd love to hear how it behaves on setups different from mine (I'm on a ZimaOS + Proxmox split). The UI follows the Radarr/Sonarr look on purpose, so it should feel familiar if you're already running the arr stack.

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on the first post.
