Sonarr Attributes

Configuring Sonarr is optional but will allow you to send shows to a Sonarr instance when they’re found missing while updating a library’s collections.

Sonarr V2 may work, but it is not supported please upgrade to V3 if you can.

Items in your List Exclusions will be ignored by PMM.

A sonarr mapping can be either in the root of the config file as global mapping for all libraries, or you can specify the sonarr mapping individually per library.

At the library level, only those settings which are different to the global settings need to be specified; there is an example of this at the end of the page.

Below is a sonarr mapping example and the full set of attributes:

• The token can be found by going to Sonarr > Settings > General > Security > API Key

• The quality_profile and language_profile must be the exact name of the desired quality profile, including all spaces and capitalization.

• You can set most attributes per collection by using the Sonarr Details in the collection definition.

Based on that UI, the settings would be [settings not based on things in this image are shown as #; url and token are of course required they are not shown here to focus on the settings that are shown above]:

Specifying a second Sonarr instance for a specific library:

In this example we have two Sonarr instances, standard and 4K, with five libraries that override various details. Also, shows are being added to the “Library05” library outside Sonarr via a custom script and I want those new shows added to Sonarr for tracking.

libraries:
  Library01:     # this library uses the default sonarr config
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/TV.yml

  Library02:     # this library overrides sonarr root path and profile
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/TV.yml
    sonarr:
      root_folder_path: /data/media/shows/tony
      quality_profile: Better

  Library03:      # this library overrides sonarr quality profile
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/TV.yml
    sonarr:
      quality_profile: Best

  Library04:      # this library uses the 4K sonarr instance
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/TV.yml
    sonarr:
      url: https://sonarr-4k.bing.bang
      token: SOME_OTHER_TOKEN
      root_folder_path: /data/media/shows/geezer
      quality_profile: Bestest
      
  Library05:      # shows get added by a custom script so they should get added to sonarr-4k
    metadata_path:
      - file: config/TV.yml
    sonarr:
      url: https://sonarr-4k.bing.bang
      token: SOME_OTHER_TOKEN
      root_folder_path: /data/media/shows/bill
      quality_profile: Bestest
      add_existing: true
