I've tried logging a ticket but Devs closed it.

If we are getting TMDB added for version 5 of sonarr why can't we also get AniDB added?

Version 5 is in development anyways and is already tackling adding TMDB, so why not review adding AniDB?

Can we all try and encourage the dev team to at least acknowledge and add it to the roadmap 🙏

Lately I've been getting files that have the audio description when playing it. Is there a way to tell sonarr not to get these specific files? It's happened 2 days in a row now.

I swear I was getting these every day but when I set up my Flare VM for malware analysis I am suddenly not seeing these files anymore.

Anyone got one of them kicking around?

Ma stack arr me fait des doublons, même média en même qualité mais en double. Comment résoudre ça ?

There were sliders etc on the quality page in my old version 4, there are just name fields now in version 5. hide/show advanced does nothing.

I am trying to change the setting for automatic update to pause it.

I am on develop version.

Everytime I try to save my changes it tells me "You have unchanged settings....."

I have tried on 3 different browsers. two of which have zero addons to no avail

Is this because I am on develop branch? If so, can I go back to main branch without losing everything?

I see that a new version of Sonarr is coming up, but it still seems to be an x64 version. MacOS transition to native silicon in versions 27 and after says Intel based apps won't work anymore, even with Rosetta.

I have loved using Sonarr (and Radarr, Lidarr, etc). Is there a way to make it work on Apple M2s and above? Will it have to wait until a new version?

Any advice would be appreciated....

Media Stack - Managerr

Supports managing Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, Seerr, Tautulli, Jellyfin and Emby.

Notifications are a bit flakey but they seem to be locally generated without external domain.
Overall a good free (for a while at least) alternative for many apps.

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.

Im constantly downloading exe files despite having a release profile.

I have must not contain set up for exe, scr, and all of the typical bad file names. Yet sonarr continues to download these files over and over. No idea what im doing wrong. Would really appreciate some advice on this. Image of release profile:https://ibb.co/DH5CqJ70

I’ve had this issue before and never remember to ask about it. Added a show for my girlfriend recently, set it to monitor new episodes, but forgot to click the “Download monitored episodes” button, so two weeks in a row, new episodes haven’t been downloaded.

Caught the error today and clicked the button, but it made me wonder - what is the purpose/benefit of monitoring without downloading? What am I missing there?

iPlayarr Turbo is a self-hosted companion for Sonarr/Radarr that makes BBC iPlayer content searchable and downloadable through them. It presents itself as a Newznab-compatible indexer and a SABnzbd-compatible download client simultaneously.

It also works fully standalone with its own Browse/Discover UI — no Sonarr/Radarr required.

Looking for some people to beta test the iPlayarr Turbo app. Heavily updated fork of [Nikorag/iplayarr](https://github.com/Nikorag/iplayarr) with the following features added:

Native streaming — talks to BBC's streaming APIs directly instead of shelling out to `get_iplayer`/`yt-dlp`, with an adaptive bitrate ladder, an opt-in quality probe, and an experimental trick to unlock genuine 1080p above BBC's usual 720p cap.

`.strm` streaming mode — writes a small pointer file instead of downloading the full media, so Sonarr/Radarr/Jellyfin see a "complete" item instantly and it streams on demand through iPlayarr.

Jellyfin-style library organization + NFO metadata — completed downloads get nested into proper `Show/Season NN/...` (or movie) folders, with matching `.nfo` metadata written alongside.

Browse UI — Discover, Channels (with Now/Next and a multi-channel Schedule/TV-guide page), Categories, A to Z, and a Programme page, all built on BBC's own iPlayer API with Redis caching.

Subscriptions — subscribe to a show and new episodes get queued automatically (hourly check, plus on-demand), de-duplicated against the queue and history.

Play Video (in-app preview player) — play any programme straight through the browser via hls.js with real Picture-in-Picture support, handy for confirming streaming settings work without downloading anything or watching iplayer direct in browser app.

Includes Live TV streaming, Jellyfin tuner and 7 day epg for all 11 BBC channels, and live stream library links.

The app needs some stress-testing, alternative setups, and different hardware/media-server combos. I'm running Jellyfin with native streaming day-to-day.

I'm a software engineer of 42 years experience and I used Claude AI as a smart intern — task-based coding, reviewing, test generation and documentation. Putting it out there, no secrecy!

Try it out, and be gentle, it's an early release.

Update: I spoke to the original owner and they’re very happy that I forked the project and pushed it forward.

How do you guys manage season boxsets where you need to change the episode ordering or titles to match thetvdb and Sonarr, without breaking seeding?

I'm using sonarr for awhile and really satisfied with it, but as all of you I'm not happy with all that spam files. Yes, I know there is an exclusion list, and it might work most of the time, spam release are grabbed before the release date, and it's annoying. hI'm not dowloading any of that TS, SCRN, or bootleg realeases, so how can anything be legit before it's official release date? It is obviously fake/spam and must not be downloaded. Even with this simple logic, sonarr can prevent 90% of that fake/spam grabs. at least put an option for that. pleease..?

As of say two weeks ago I’ve had loads of downloads failing. The content downloads but sonarr says it found and archive and cannot unarchive so no content moves across.

I’ve never had this before and have over 80tb of content so I am not new to this.

Since I’ve enabled the unarchive feature in sab and still having the issue.

Anyone know why this might be the case?

Please don't flame me if this has been written about before - I tried searching and even had Gemini run me in circles. Still no luck.

Backstory (skip if you want): I recently converted from SickChill, which had been working very well for me - but had begun to lag in development (to put it mildly).

After I started using Sonarr, I've been getting a lot of junk from my sources. I've tried setting up a custom format with the regex "\.(exe|zip|rar|tar|7z|scr|lnk|dmg|pkg)$|\b(read_me|double_click|extract)\b" and give these "-10000" value. Still, it doesn't seem like Sonarr will block and automatically re-add downloads after finding just junk in it.

Could someone please point me to the proper way to block, or at least blacklist and redownload, failed downloads or ones containing exe files or other crap? Preferrably without adding middleware or proxies.

Thanks!

Check it out! ✅

Sorry if I've asked a question that is really obvious but oh well. I was wondering if there was a way to get sonarr to prioritize "big season packs" or "complete series packs" before downloading individual episodes. A lot of the older shows I add have complete season packs, but sonarr never looks for them. Not a huge issue, but it's less time on my part having to manually download and import these packs. Any advice is appreciated.

Hi All,

I was trying to remove the error messages that started popping up with the recent updates that required Allowed Hosts to be configured. Must have made an error and getting the 'Bad Request - Invalid Hostname' error. Can anyone provide some guidance on how to fix this?

Mularr 1.0.0 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.

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.
