Indexers

Radarr

Usenet:

• Newsznab - Here you'll find presets of popular usenet indexers (that are pre-filled out, all you'll need is your API key which is provided by the usenet indexer of your choice) along with the ability to create a custom Indexer
• An excellent software that works with usenet and intigrates quite well with Radarr is NZBhydra2
  • Regardless of if you select a pre filled out indexer or a custom indexer setup you'll be presented with a new window to input all your settings
  • Name - This is where you'll select a unique name - typically you'd want to put the indexer name that you're using
  • Enable RSS - Enable this indexer for monitoring the RSS feed for new future releases
  • Enable Automatic Search - Enable this indexer for when you trigger an automatic search (the magnifying glasas icon)
  • Enable Interactive Search - Enable this indexer for when you trigger an interactive search, by click thing the little man icon
  • URL - Typically this will be your indexer's website, consult your indexer if this is not the case
  • API Path (advanced option) - Path to the api, usually /api
  • Multilanguage - What languages are normally in a multi release on this indexer?
    • This is very useful when looking for a movie that is typically released in multiple languages, Example: Anime
  • API Key - This will be provided to you by your indexer
  • Categories (advanced option) - Comma Separated list of the numerical categories to be scanned. Prefilled catagores should sufice unless you know what you're doing
  • Additional Parameters - Any additional parameters that are needed in order to make your Usenet indexer operate
  • Remove year from search string - Should Radarr remove the year after the title when searching this indexer? This option can cause issues if there are multiple releases of the same name in different years
  • Indexer Priority - If Radarr comes across a release that is identical which indexer would you like Radarr to pull from?

Torrents:

• As with Usenet there are an assortment of prefilled out Torrent tracker information. If you are not a member of any of these these specific trackers they will not do you any good.
• One of the best and simplist ways to utalize Torrent trackers with Radarr is to utalize a second program called Jackett. This software pairs well with Radarr as a search indexer that houses all your information and sends it to Radarr.
• Torznab - This option will set you up with a Jackett preset, if you utalize multiple trackers you'll need to have each entry have a unique name
  • Name - This is where you'll select a unique name - typically you'd want to put the tracker name that you're using
  • Enable RSS - Enable this indexer for monitoring the RSS feed for new future releases
  • Enable Automatic Search - Enable this indexer for when you trigger an automatic search (the magnifying glasas icon)
  • Enable Interactive Search - Enable this indexer for when you trigger an interactive search, by click thing the little man icon
  • URL - If you're utalizing Jackett this will be the URL for your Jackett installation
    • Typicall this will be http://localhost:9117 if it is on the same physical machine as Radarr
  • API Path (advanced option) - Path to the api, usually /api
  • API Key - This will be provided to you by your provider
    • If using Jackett, this will be located in the upper right hand corner of the webpage
  • Categories (advanced option) - Comma Separated list of the numerical categories to be scanned. Prefilled catagores should sufice unless you know what you're doing
  • Remove year from search string - Should Radarr remove the year after the title when searching this indexer? This option can cause issues if there are multiple releases of the same name in different years
  • Seed Ratio - In the community of torrents you SHOULD give as much as you recieve, most communities expect you to seed to a ratio of 1 (meaning you have given back as much as you've taken). This setting will override any global setting within your download client.
  • Seed Time - In most torrenting communties they will give you the minimum amount of time any torrent should be seeded. If you do not meet this minimum seed time you'll recieve a Hit and Run (HNR). This setting is set in minutes. This setting will override any global setting within your download client. Time Calculator days to minutes
  • Required Flags - Here you'll select how you'd like for this indexer to behave. Say you want this indexer to only download Freeleech torrents, this is where you'll force that behavior
    • See Indexer Flags for more information
  • Indexer Priority - If Radarr comes across a release that is identical which indexer would you like Radarr to pull from?
