Purpose

Sonarr and Radarr let PlexSub coordinate availability, queues, and requests with Arr services.

  • Radarr: movies.
  • Sonarr: series.

They appear in PlexSub at:

  • Admin: /radarr and /sonarr
  • Customer Portal: requests

Requirements

  • Working Radarr and/or Sonarr instances.
  • URLs reachable from PlexSub.
  • Valid API keys.
  • Profiles, root folders, and quality settings configured in each Arr service.

Related variables: RADARR_URL and SONARR_URL. The API key can be configured from Settings > Services through the service apiKey profile.

  1. Configure Radarr/Sonarr outside PlexSub.
  2. Confirm they can add content manually.
  3. Configure the URL and API key in PlexSub.
  4. Run diagnostics.
  5. Create a test request.
  6. Check that it reaches Arr with the expected profile and folder.
