Ma stack arr me télécharge plusieurs fois le même média dans le même format mais depuis des trackers différents. Comment résoudre ça ?

mine is having hd and 4k of the same movie without running a second radarr. been doing the two instance thing forever and its annoying

whats yours? and if you found a workaround lmk

Why does it (very rarely) grab a torrent that is no way named anything close to the monitored movie?

Had this earlier:

|Info|DownloadDecisionMaker|Processing 17 releases
|Info|DownloadService|Report for XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (2026) sent to client from indexer ZZZ. AAA.BBB.CCC.2026.1080p.WEBRip.10Bit.DDP5.1.x265
|Info|RssSyncService|RSS Sync Completed. Reports found: 17, Reports grabbed: 1

I run radarr in a docker container on my Synology. I got a new NAS, and I'm setting Radarr up from scratch there (to correct some things in my old installation). But the new instance isn't creating empty folders when I add a new movie, even though I have that option checked in Media Management. I checked the Root folder mapping, it is correct. I checked the folder permissions, they are correct - the docker use is in a group that has r/W access to that folder. (for example, my Sonarr is working fine with the same user and permissions in the same folder hierarchy). I get no errors, I see nothing in the logs, it just never does anything about creating a new empty folder when I add a movie ...

I had originally thought to import all my movies from the old Radarr, but I figured I only have 6 missing, I didn't need to import 600 old movies (especially since they don't exist on this NAS anyway). I did make an error in the Import List, I mistyped the folder name there. But then I deleted all those movies that were imported, and started over.

The Media Management Root Folder is correct, it's showing the amount of free space. I didn't touch permissions in Media Management. The individual movie point to this same folder. For example, the movie lists as "/data/media/movies/Avengers - Doomsday (2026)", but no such sub-folder exists, and it should be. I even tried restarting the container, no luck.

Pointers to where to go next? I mean, I could always blow away the whole container and /config contents and try again. But it seems like it should be simple to fix, doesn't it?

Thanks

I'd like some advice. I have set up Radarr to put it's movies in the usual /data/media/movies. I will use this location for 1080p movies (I use Plex, it looks here). But (previously) I had a separate folder for 4K movies, which was a separate Plex library (reason: couple of my users couldn't handle 4K movies, so they watch the 1080p. Now, I *could* have Plex make multiple resolutions, but my users can barely figure out how to watch, no way they'd be comfortable trying to figure out which resolution to choose. And it was easier to set up a separate folder/library, especially a few years ago, which is when I set this up). My Plex server has enough horsepower/GPU to stream 4K remotely.

So my question: I could set up a 2nd container running Radarr on a different port, and use this instance exclusively for 4K movies. Or would it be better to add a 2nd mapping to the existing Radarr (/4K : /volume1/data/media/movies/4K)?

Bear in mind that I would want 2 copies of *some* movies - 1080p for them, 4K for me. If I went with the 2nd config, could I have a movie set to go to 2 different folders? I don't think so, but I thought I would ask before I started poking around like that.

Setting up a 2nd instance wouldn't be hard, but I'm just wondering which would be best.

Thanks

When Radarr replaces a media file, existing sidecar .srt subtitles are also deleted, despite Radarr recognising their relative paths before the upgrade.

Is there a setting to prevent this during upgrades?

Thanks!

I just finished setting up radarr, and set up a custom format for the release group I prefer. It worked for the first few movies I tried, but one movie keeps getting a different file that has a custom format score of +5, while in the interactive search I can find two correct files with a score of +5000, which it just ignores?

I assume there is a specific metric I am not aware of yet that trumps custom format score. So any advice would be appreciated!

I took advantage of Prime Day and picked up an M6 Mac Mini and have beeen in the process of migrating my entire system over. My media is stored on a WD MyCloud NAS (10tb) and i have an additional seagate harddrive plugged into the USB drive of the NAS (the Seagate Drive). My prior server was a Windows 10 mini PC.

My movies library is spread across the NAS as well as the Seagate drive. Radarr has no issues importing movies to the internal NAS drives but cannot import to the Seagate drive. I am met with an access denied error. I do have read and write access from finder. Radarr is installed as a native mac app (not docker).

Checking in terminal all of my external drives are drwx.

Ive had radarr off for a few months as Ive been replacing smaller drives and organizing my server. Anyway I turned it on today I have 85 missing movies in Radarr I have allow upgrades off. Yet I have over 300 movies in my SAB. I cannot figure out where they are coming from? I know I only have one radarr, what would be adding all those movies?

Mularr 1.0.0 (the radarr indexer and download client for amule and telegram) is out after almost a year of development. This is the first major release and it comes with some pretty big improvements.

The biggest new feature is probably the Hispashare integration for Spanish and original-version content. Mularr can now be used by Sonarr and Radarr to search Hispashare, and the searches are done using the IMDb ID provided by Sonarr/Radarr. This means the search is tied to the exact movie or series instead of relying on title matching, which makes the results much more reliable.

Some of the main changes in 1.0.0:

• Hispashare integration, with IMDb ID based searches from Sonarr/Radarr
• Much improved torznab implementarion for Sonarr and Radarr integration
• RSS feed which can periodically collect new data from telegram and Hispasahre; it can also build a custom feed from *arr wanted list
• Seed/complete limits for Sonarr and Radarr
• Improved Telegram integration and channel queue
• Tabbed searches

I've also tried to keep the upgrade from previous versions as painless as possible, although I'd recommend making a backup of the Mularr volume before upgrading.

I'd be very glad to hear any feedback from you.

This project has taken me almost a year of work, and I’m sharing it because I genuinely believe it could be useful to other people and I’d love to keep growing it.

If it’s not for you, no problem at all just scroll past. And if you have any criticism or suggestions, they’re more than welcome, feedback helps me improve it.

I'm monitoring movies from certain directors/actors.

In the last two days my watchlist was FLOODED with Verity-related spam-entries ("Fifty Shades of V-rity", "V-rity or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb", etc.) that were FULL of a lot of A-list actors and directors - apparently in order to put it onto as many watchlists like mine as possible.

Is this some absolutely sketchy marketing-campaign that tries to place the name of the movie in as many spots as possible in some sort of gaslighting-attempt? Or what is up with this?

I just started this kind of monitoring a couple of months ago and this is the first time I've seen something like this - is this more common or actually the first time something like that happened?

Has anyone any kind of insight in this phenomenon?

I've been using Radarr for a while now with TRaSH guides quality profile and I'm running into the issue that films are being upgraded from something silly like 923000 to 934000. I understand that the underlining 'rule' of TRaSH guides quality profiles is basically 'highest quality possible no matter what', and this is following that exact rule, but it just seems like a waste for what is likely an imperceptible upgrade. I assume a few other people here have been in this exact situation and I'm wondering what you did? Just keep letting it upgrade? Disable upgrades all together? Set a stop upgrading to something like 900000? Cheers.

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.

If anyone's interested, I wrote a bash script for creating a dual audio english+german file. You use it like this: ./createSuperRelease.sh /path/to/file.mkv it then checks whether the file has both english and german audio, makes radarr search for a new release if a language is missing, tracks the download using SABnzbd APIs, extracts the new file's audio and inserts it into the original file. It synchronizes the new audio with the original audio so there's no offset. I gotta admit, I only wrote the bash part, which itself took me several weeks, and had AI write the python part which does the cross correlation for synchronizing the audios.

I think this is pretty neat and I'm surprised it works so well. Since my family prefers german audio while I prefer english and not all movies have multi-audio releases, I can use this to create them automatically. I also made one for sonarr.

Hola a todos,

Tengo montado en casa un stack de descarga automática con Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr y de momento uso indexers públicos (, Torrent9, TPB, etc.). Funciona bien para la mayoría de cosas en ingles pero quiero mejor y mas contenido en español

Tengo dos preguntas:

Usenet para español — ¿Merece la pena pagar un proveedor y un indexer para conseguir contenido en español? ¿Hay buena oferta en los grupos españoles o es mayoritariamente inglés?

Trackers privados en español — ¿Existen trackers privados especializados en contenido en español que valga la pena ?

Gracias de antemano.

Hi everyone,

I have an automated download stack set up at home using Sonarr, Radarr, and Prowlarr, and for now, I’m using public indexers (Torrent9, TPB, etc.). It works well for most English-language content, but I want better and more Spanish-language content.

I have two questions:

Usenet for Spanish content — Is it worth paying for a provider and an indexer to get Spanish content? Is there a good selection in Spanish groups, or is it mostly English?

Private Spanish trackers — Are there any private trackers specializing in Spanish content that are actually worth it?

Thanks in advance.

I have a decent-sized Radarr library and kept running into a recurring annoyance: movies getting marked as downloaded and cutoff met (usually labeled as a 1080p WEB-DL), but when actually playing them, they had hollow theater line audio, crowd noise, or weird dubbed sync issues.

The issue is that Custom Formats can only inspect the release title at grab time. If a release group slaps a WEB-DL or Bluray tag on a leak before the digital/retail street date, Radarr accepts it, marks cutoff as met, and stops looking. Once imported, Radarr doesn't do deep audio inspection to catch it (or at least, I haven't found a native solution for it).

So I made a small script called Verifyarr that audits your existing Radarr movies against actual stream mediaInfo and release dates.

How it works:

• Queries the Radarr API to inspect actual file streams (audio codecs, bitrates, audio-to-video bitrate ratios) alongside digital/physical street dates.
• Flags pre-retail line audio characteristics (e.g. uncompressed raw LPCM line captures muxed into fake WEB-DL containers before retail release).
• Applies a tag in Radarr (default: verifyarr-flagged) so you can easily filter and see what’s affected in your library.
• When a proper retail release drops and replaces the file, the tag is automatically cleared.
• If enabled, it can tell Radarr to trigger a grab for a verified retail release, letting Radarr handle the download, import, and cleanup like normal.

Safety: It’s non-destructive and DRY RUN by default (--dry-run). It does not delete any files on disk. You can run it once just to see if your library has any disguised leaks sitting around.

I've had the core logic running on my own home server for nearly a year as part of a larger setup. Full disclosure: as noted in the README, I used AI to help write and scaffold the Python code and test suite, but the heuristics, release dates logic, and 72 unit tests are based on real-world files and months of live testing on my own stack.

Packaged with zero external dependencies (pure standard Python or a minimal Alpine Docker container).

GitHub: https://github.com/Aresitoo/verifyarr

If anyone tries it, let me know how it works with your library. I'm especially curious about any weird release group audio muxes or false positives you might encounter.

Hi everyone,

It has been many sleepless nights working on these plus the new dashboards - I cannot wait to hear feedback on these

I have also been hard at work on the new tvOS beta and the new custom built player Oracle

Oracle is QM's own playback engine for Apple TV, and it's on by default (Apple's player is still in Settings if you'd rather). It's honestly the hardest thing I've ever built, I am not kidding

• It plays your files as they are. Remuxes, MKVs, the lot, with no transcoding on your server
• TrueHD and DTS (DTS-HD MA too) are decoded right on the Apple TV, which Apple's own player just can't do
• HDR10 and Dolby Vision, profile 7 remuxes included
• Proper subtitles: PGS, styled ASS/SSA and SRT. Forced lines still show when subtitles are off, and you can change the size, colour, background and position
• Swipe down while watching for audio, subtitles, chapters and info. It even tells you why it picked each track, and you can keep your choice for the rest of the series
• Night Mode and Dialogue Boost for late-night watching
• Skip intros, Up Next rolls straight into the next episode, chapters, and pictures as you scrub
• Works with Jellyfin, Emby and Plex

Requirements for beta testing are

Have a pro licence of QM (lifetime, year, month - it doesn't matter) as this is needed for the icloud backup sync so all your connections come over - reach out via the Discord or even Reddit if you are interested

Also,if you use the companion app you can now route all your stack notifications through there, through to QM on your phone! Custom wording and even custom notifications only on v0.1.7

For anyone new QM has been active since the 3rd of July this year with a growing community to now over 700 people in the Discord server as well as 10k global users - I am so grateful to have such a dedicated community being so involved in the app and the direction it goes

Pricing - Free gives you one fully working service connection. Pro is £4.99 a month, £19.99 a year or £29.99 once, and every option unlocks everything, so you're choosing how to pay, not what you get. The Apple TV app needs Pro due to the icloud sync. There is also a 7 day trial as well :)

AI disclaimer - No AI has been used - I have nothing against AI at all but there are too many one shot apps built over a weekend and pushed out, slop season :D, without care or consideration for the stacks they are actually meant to be serving and or protecting. The QM companion is open source, so you are more than free to take a look! I come from a security background as well so you can sort to see what features I have purposely implemented

So yep - sorry its long, its a big update - if you've made it this far - thank you!

PS - I have copied the text from a previous post just made, I am not typing it out again :D

My radarr has completely broken now somehow, just after I changed the priority on one of my indexers on prowlarr. Then I tried to download a movie and it didn’t work at all. Did a bunch of de bugging steps but in the end turning of my trackers on qbit did the trick and it worked. Then today I go to download national security and got the same problem. Radarr did not find it in the indexers and when I try to do a manual download (wanted>missing> national security> and pick one all of them display “ • Quality for release in queue already meets cutoff: HDTV-2160p v1”) I try to download them anyway but when I do they stall immediately. I tried my last debug steps but that did not work. I reset prowlarrs connection but the same problem arose. Before I changed the priority everything worked but now it just stoped. Dose anyone know how I can fix this?

As the title is asking, of all the indexers for Radarr to pull from (the ones I have working), I find myself more often than not heading over to ext.to because I really like being able to specifically grab QxR releases. They sometimes show up through the other indexers but far less than if I just manually add them. I'm also very open to other ways/sources to grab these files from, I've just found the best luck with ext and have grabbed most of my files from there.

Any thoughts on this? It would just make things much easier for me

EDIT SOLVED: u/thee3 shared a solution that absolutely worked for me. Hopefully it stays working but this is going to save me so much time.

Anyone having issues searching for this South Korean movie in Radarr? It takes ages to do an interactive search and then it returns every movie under the sun (including Coyote vs Acme!) - but not this one. Any pointers or help please?

Hello,

So as per title, is it possible to make radarr grab a file within custom formats range that i have set that will be present at as many trackers as possible?

Hello what's up. I have my own small NAS at home. And on the NAS runs Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, and Jellyfin, among other things. That’s my own little streaming setup. But recently, I received a letter regarding the distribution of copyrighted content through file sharing. Since I had to sign a cease-and-desist letter, I no longer dare to download anything else. Because I won’t get away with just a small fine anymore. But I want to start downloading again. Are there ways to get around these file-sharing restrictions, or is there perhaps a much safer way? Can someone please help me out here?

I put movie and TV episode files into separate staging folders, usually without organizing them into the correct folder structure first.

Right now, I manually add each movie or series to Radarr/Sonarr, then use Manual Import so the apps can identify the files, rename them, create the correct folders, and move them into my media library.

I mainly use Radarr/Sonarr for consistent file naming and library organization, plus Bazarr for subtitle downloading and synchronization.

Is this the normal workflow, or is there an easier built-in or commonly used way to automatically identify the files, add the correct movie or series if it is missing, and let Radarr/Sonarr handle the import?

Update: Thanks for the feedback. After realizing that there isn't an available solution that meets my needs, I created a script that uses existing APIs to automatically identify each media based on file names and have Radarr/Sonarr import them. Now all my new media gets imported properly without having to manually add movies or TV shows.

I have a pretty big Radarr library and noticed that some of my movies were taking up way more space than they really needed to.

I didn't want to just lower my quality profiles though, because I still want to keep stuff like the same resolution, HDR/Dolby Vision, Atmos and decent audio.

So I made a script that goes through the movies I already have and searches Radarr for smaller releases.

It checks the results and tries to avoid stupid downgrades. It looks at resolution, HDR/DV, Atmos, audio channels, seeders, how much space would actually be saved, whether something is already in the queue, etc.

If it finds something suitable, it just tells Radarr to grab it. Radarr still handles the downloading, importing and replacing the old file like normal.

It's DRY RUN by default, so the first time you run it you can just see what it would pick without it actually downloading anything.

I originally made this just for my own setup, but it ended up working well enough that I cleaned it up a bit and put it on GitHub.

GitHub:
https://github.com/MrRobot-88/Radarr-Smart-Optimizer

I also made the same thing for Sonarr:
https://github.com/MrRobot-88/Sonarr-Smart-Optimizer

If anyone tries it, let me know how it works with your setup. I'm especially interested in weird releases or quality profiles that I haven't run into myself.

quick update....

https://github.com/MrRobot-88/Smart-Optimizer-UI

Not sure if I'm remember it wrong but isn't there that option before?

How do you add them all at once now?
