Recyclarr

A command-line application that will automatically synchronize recommended settings from TRaSH guides to your Sonarr/Radarr instances.

Formerly named "Trash Updater".

Sonarr Features

Release Profiles

• "Preferred", "Must Not Contain", and "Must Contain" terms from guides are reflected in corresponding release profile fields in Sonarr.
• "Include Preferred when Renaming" is properly checked/unchecked depending on explicit mention of this in the guides.
• Profiles get created if they do not exist, or updated if they already exist. Profiles get a unique name based on the guide and this name is used to find them in subsequent runs.
• Tags can be added to any updated or created profiles. Tags are created for you if they do not exist.
• Ability to convert preferred with negative scores to "Must not contain" terms.
• Terms mentioned as "optional" in the guide can be selectively included or excluded; based entirely on user preference.
• Convenient command line options to get information from the guide to more easily add it to your YAML configuration.

Quality Definitions

• Anime and Series (Non-Anime) quality definitions from the guide.
• "Hybrid" type supported that is a mixture of both.

Radarr Features

Quality Definitions

• Movie quality definition from the guide

Custom Formats

• A user-specified list of custom formats are synchronized to Radarr from the TRaSH guides.
• Scores from the guides can be synchronized to quality profiles of your choosing.
• User can specify their own scores for custom formats (instead of using the guide score).
• Option to enable automatic deletion custom formats in Radarr when they are removed from config or the guide.

Requirements & Notices

Before installing & running Recyclarr, please review the requirements & special notices below.

• Minimum Supported Sonarr Version: 3.0.4.1098
• Minimum Supported Radarr Version: 3.*
• Do not run Notifiarr's Trash Guides Integration in conjunction with Recyclarr's Custom Format synchronization. In general, you should not have two different tools updating the same data in Radarr or Sonarr.

Docker Installation

It is recommended to use the Docker Image to install Recyclarr. Using this method, you get to enjoy an easier installation process without having to worry about things like file locations, dependencies, etc. The official docker image can be run with:

docker run ghcr.io/recyclarr/recyclarr

See the Docker wiki page for more setup details.

Manual Installation

Simply download the latest release for your platform using the table below. The download itself is just a ZIP file with a single executable in it. You can put this executable anywhere you want and run it.

Platform	32-bit	64-bit
Windows	---	x64, arm64
Linux	arm	x64, arm64
Linux MUSL	arm	x64, arm64
Mac OS	---	x64, arm64

The above links are from the latest release on the releases page. Feel free to visit there for release notes and older releases.

Prerequisites

• OpenSSL 1.x required on Linux

Special Note about Linux

When you extract the ZIP archive on Linux, it will not have the executable permission set. After you've downloaded and extracted the executable, you can use the command below to make it executable.

chmod u+rx recyclarr

Note: There used to be a convenient one-liner available here, but that was removed with the introduction of multiple architecture support. That one liner was no longer sufficient and a more complex solution was needed to determine which architecture to download for. But if you're using linux, I think you can handle what needs to be done :-)

Getting Started

Recyclarr requires a YAML configuration file in order to work. Run the steps below if you want to get started with a minimal configuration file.

• Run recyclarr create-config to create a starter recyclarr.yml file in the application data directory. You can also use --path to customize the filename and location.
• Open the generated YAML file from the previous step. At a minimum you must update the base_url and api_key settings for each service that you want to use. Change/delete other parts of the file as you see fit.
• Run recyclarr sonarr and/or recyclarr radarr as needed to update those instances.

The last step above will do a "basic" sync from the guides to Sonarr and/or Radarr. The starter YAML config is very minimal. See the next section for further reading and links to the wiki for additional topics and more advanced customization.

Lastly, each subcommand supports printing help on the command line. Simply run recyclarr --help for the main help output and a list of subcommands. You can then see the help for each subcommand by running recyclarr [subcommand] --help, where [subcommand] is one of those subcommands (e.g. sonarr)

Important Notices

The script may stop working at any time due to guide updates. I will do my best to fix them in a timely manner. Reporting such issues ASAP would be appreciated and will help identify issues more quickly.
