Reference documentation for the YAML configuration. For various examples, see the [[Configuration Examples]] page.

Summary

The Recyclarr program utilizes YAML for its configuration files. The configuration can be set up multiple ways, offering a lot of flexibility:

  • You may use one or more YAML files simultaneously, allowing you to divide your configuration properties up in such a way that you can control what gets updated based on which files you specify.

  • Each YAML file may have one or more service configurations. This means you can have one file define settings for just Sonarr, Radarr, or both services. The program will only read the configuration from the file relevant for the specific service subcommand you specified (e.g. recyclarr sonarr will only read the Sonarr config in the file, even if Radarr config is present).

Remember: If you do not specify the --config argument, the program will look for recyclarr.yml in the application data directory.

Basic Settings

  • base_url (Required)
    The base URL of your Sonarr instance. Basically this is the URL you bookmark to get to the front page.

  • api_key (Required)
    The API key that Recyclarr should use to synchronize settings to your instance. You can obtain your API key by going to Sonarr > Settings > General and copy & paste the "API Key" under the "Security" group/header.

Quality Definition Settings

  • quality_definition (Optional; Default: No quality definitions are synced)
    The quality definition from the TRaSH Guide's Quality Settings page that should be parsed and uploaded to Sonarr. Only the below values are permitted here.

    • anime Represents the "Sonarr Quality Definitions" table specifically for Anime

    • series Represents the "Sonarr Quality Definitions" table intended for normal TV Series. Sometimes referred to as non-anime.

    • hybrid A combination of both the anime and series tables that is calculated by comparing each row and taking both the smallest minimum and largest maximum values. The purpose of the Hybrid type is to build the most permissive quality definition that the guide will allow. It's a good idea to use this one if you want more releases to be blocked by your release profiles instead of quality.

Release Profile Settings

  • release_profiles (Optional; Default: No release profiles are synced)
    A list of release profiles to parse from the guide. Each object in this list supports the below properties.

    • trash_ids (Required)
      A list of one or more Trash IDs taken from the Trash Guide Sonarr JSON files.

    • strict_negative_scores (Optional; Default: false)
      Enables preferred term scores less than 0 to be instead treated as "Must Not Contain" (ignored) terms. For example, if something is "Preferred" with a score of -10, it will instead be put in the "Must Not Contains" section of the uploaded release profile. Must be true or false.

    • tags (Optional; Default: Empty list)
      A list of one or more strings representing tags that will be applied to this release profile. Tags are created in Sonarr if they do not exist. All tags on an existing release profile (if present) are removed and replaced with only the tags in this list. If no tags are specified, no tags will be set on the release profile.

    • filter (Optional)
      Defines various ways that release profile terms from the guide are synchronized with Sonarr. Any filters below that takes a list of trash_id values, those values come, again, from the Sonarr JSON Files. There is a trash_id field next to each term field; that is what you use.

      • include
        A list of trash_id values representing terms (Required, Ignored, or Preferred) that should be included in the created Release Profile in Sonarr. Terms that are NOT specified here are excluded automatically. Not compatible with exclude and will take precedence over it.

      • exclude
        A list of trash_id values representing terms (Required, Ignored, or Preferred) that should be excluded from the created Release Profile in Sonarr. Terms that are NOT specified here are included automatically. Not compatible with include; this list is not used if it is present.

Basic Settings

  • base_url (Required)
    The base URL of your Radarr instance. Basically this is the URL you bookmark to get to the front page.

  • api_key (Required)
    The API key that Recyclarr should use to synchronize settings to your instance. You can obtain your API key by going to Radarr > Settings > General and copy & paste the "API Key" under the "Security" group/header.

Quality Definition Settings

  • quality_definition (Optional; Default: No quality definitions are synced)
    Specify information related to Radarr quality definition processing here. Only the following child properties are permitted.

    • type (Required)
      The quality definition from the Radarr Quality Settings (File Size) page in the TRaSH Guides that should be parsed and uploaded to Radarr. Only the below values are permitted here.

      • movie: Currently the only supported type. Represents the only table on that page and is intended for general use with all movies in Radarr.
    • preferred_ratio (Optional; Default: 1.0)
      A value 0.0 to 1.0 that represents the percentage (interpolated) position of that middle slider you see when you enable advanced settings on the Quality Definitions page in Radarr. A value of 0.0 means the preferred quality will match the minimum quality. Likewise, 1.0 will match the maximum quality. A value such as 0.5 will keep it halfway between the two.

      Any value less than 0 or greater than 1 will result in a warning log printed and the value will be clamped.

Custom Format Settings

For details on the way Custom Formats are synchronized to Radarr, visit the [[Custom Format Synchronization]] page.

  • delete_old_custom_formats (Optional; Default: false)
    If enabled, custom formats that you remove from your YAML configuration OR that are removed from the guide will be deleted from your Radarr instance. Note that this only applies to custom formats that Recyclarr has synchronized to Radarr. Custom formats that you have added manually in Radarr will not be deleted if you enable this setting.

  • custom_formats (Optional; Default: No custom formats are synced)
    A list of one or more sets of custom formats (by name and/or trash_id), each with an optional set of quality profiles names that identify which quality profiles to assign the scores for those custom formats to. The child properties documented below apply to each element of this list.

    Note: Even though names and trash_ids below are marked optional, at least one of them is required. For example, if names is empty you must use trash_ids and vice versa.

    When would you use names or trash_ids? Rule of thumb: Stick to names. It's more user friendly than IDs, because you can look at a name and know what custom format it is referring to. The IDs are there for certain corner cases (you can read more about those in the relevant bullet point below).

    • names (Optional; Default: trash_ids is required)
      A list of one or more custom format names to synchronize to Radarr. The names must be taken from the JSON itself in the guide, for example:

      {
        "trash_id": "496f355514737f7d83bf7aa4d24f8169",
        "name": "TrueHD ATMOS",
        "includeCustomFormatWhenRenaming": false
      }
      

      You take the value of "name" above and add it to the list of names like so:

      names:
        - TrueHD ATMOS
      

      A Few Things to Remember

      • If delete_old_custom_formats is set to true, custom formats are deleted in Radarr if you remove them from this list.
      • It's OK for the same custom format to exist in multiple lists of names. Recyclarr will only ever synchronize it once. Allowing it to be specified multiple times allows you to assign it to different profiles with different scores.
    • trash_ids (Optional; Default: names is required)
      A list of one or more Trash IDs of custom formats to synchronize to Radarr. The IDs must be taken from the value of the "trash_id" property in the JSON itself. It will look like the following:

      {
        "trash_id": "496f355514737f7d83bf7aa4d24f8169",
      }
      

      Normally you should be using names to specify which custom formats you want. There are a few rare cases where you might prefer (or need) to use the ID instead:

      • Sometimes there are custom formats in the guide with the same name, such as "DoVi". In this case, Recyclarr will issue you a warning instructing you to use the Trash ID instead of the name to resolve the ambiguity.
      • Trash IDs never change. Custom format names can change. Recyclarr keeps an internal cache of every custom format its seen to reduce the need for your config names to be updated. But it's not 100% fool proof. Using the ID could mean less config maintenance for you in the long run at the expense of readability.

      Most of the rules and semantics are identical to the names property, which is documented above. Just apply that logic to the ID instead of the name.

      Lastly, as a tip, to ease the readability concerns of using IDs instead of names, leave a comment beside the Trash ID in your configuration so it can be easily identified later. For example:

      trash_ids:
        - 5d96ce331b98e077abb8ceb60553aa16 # dovi
        - a570d4a0e56a2874b64e5bfa55202a1b # flac
      
    • quality_profiles (Optional; Default: No quality profiles are changed)
      One or more quality profiles to update with the scores from the custom formats listed above. Scores are taken from the guide by default, with an option to override the score for all of them. Each object in the list must use the properties below.

      • name (Required)
        The name of one of the quality profiles in Radarr.

      • score (Optional; Default: Use scores from the guide)
        A positive or negative number representing the score to apply to all custom formats listed in the names list. A score of 0 is also acceptable, which effectively disables the custom formats without having to delete them.

      • reset_unmatched_scores (Optional; Default: false)
        If set to true, enables setting scores to 0 in quality profiles where either a name was not mentioned in the names array or it was in that list but did not get a score (e.g. no score in guide). If false, scores are never altered unless it is listed in the names array and has a valid score to assign.
