Why Use Radarr?

Radarr takes the hassle out of managing your movie collection by:

• Automating movie downloads from torrent or Usenet sources.
• Renaming, sorting, and organizing movies into a well-structured library for easy access through Plex or other media servers.
• Monitoring existing movies and upgrading files when higher-quality versions become available.

Following Trash Guides for Configuration

Setting up Radarr manually can be confusing, especially when it comes to configuring indexers, download clients, and quality profiles. That’s why it’s highly recommended to follow Trash Guides. They provide detailed instructions on:

• Connecting indexers and download clients: This ensures Radarr can search for and download movies automatically.
• Setting up quality profiles: Learn how to configure profiles to only download movies in specific qualities (e.g., 1080p, 4K) with preferred encoders and formats.
• Customizing naming and folder structures: Proper naming conventions help Plex or other media servers recognize and display your movies correctly.
• Importing existing libraries: If you already have a large collection of movies, Trash Guides show you how to import them without creating duplicates or errors.
