Configuring Sonarr
Sonarr can be used as a download client for TV Shows.
To find your Sonarr version, open Sonarr and go to System->Status->About. Keep Sonarr open in your browser. This is important as Requestrr needs to know what version it is communicating with. The correct version will need to be selected in the "TV Show" section of Requestrr.
Note: Version 4 or higher is recommend.
On Sonarr, go to Settings->General, then copy the API key, you can click on the copy icon to quickly copy the key.
Open up Requestrrs web portal if not already open, go to "TV Shows" on the left-hand side and make sure your "Download Client" is set to "Sonarr". Once done, paste the API key into the "API Key" field.
Enter the host or IP address for Sonarr Server (without the http://).
Note: If you are using Requestrr in a docker container, any localhost addresses will not work, you should use your servers local IP address in this situation (e.g. 192.168.0.10)
If you use a base URL for Sonarr, you will need to specify this in Requestrr. To find this setting in Sonarr, go into Settings->General
Go back into your Requestrr window and make sure that the base url is exactly the same in Requestrr as it is in Sonarr. This setting can be blank if this is not used.
Now click on the Test Settings button, it should say that everything is good
If not, then the error message will tell you what to do.
By default, Requestrr will have one category for TV Shows, you can edit this category and change the default settings for when a user requests a TV Show, such as the location where the movie is stored.
If you would like multiple categories to store shows, you can edit/add new categories here. Click the "Edit" button and edit each option for this category, you might need to click the load button next to a drop-down before all the options are ready.
Click on the "Save Changes" button at the bottom of the page to save the work we've done so far.
That's it, the bot should now be correctly connected to Sonarr!
This setting only affects the TV Show monitored status, the seasons will always be set be monitored in Sonarr.
Enabling this setting will automatically set requested tv shows as monitored in Sonarr, meaning that eventually Sonarr will automatically pick them up when new releases become available.
Enabling this setting will automatically search for missing episodes within a request so that they can be downloaded immediately.
