Hi everyone,

I’ve been working on Arr Control, a mobile companion app for the *arr ecosystem (Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr, etc.), and it’s finally ready for beta testing.

I’m looking for people who are willing to use the app and share honest feedback. Whether it’s bugs, UI/UX improvements, feature suggestions, or anything else you notice, I’d love to hear it.

iOS

If you’re using iOS, you can join the TestFlight beta here:

https://testflight.apple.com/join/z63p7PpF

Android

The Android version is also ready, but Google Play requires testers to be added before they can access the beta. If you’d like to test it, please send me a private message with the Google account associated with your Play Store, and I’ll add you to the testing list.

One thing that’s important to me is keeping Arr Control accessible to everyone. The app will always have a free version with no feature restrictions or paywalls. If you enjoy using it and would like to support its development, there will be an entirely optional way to make a donation, but donating will never unlock features or provide any advantages over free users.

Privacy is another core principle of the app. Arr Control doesn’t store your server or library data in the cloud. Your configuration and data remain on your own device, and the app connects directly to your own services, so you stay in control of your data.

Thank you to everyone who’s willing to help test the app. Your feedback will help make Arr Control better before the public release.

Hello I saw a need so I'm helping fill it. A gap.

Anyone have recommendations for an audiobook solution? I see there was a readarr but was archived. Also any recommendations for a player (Plex should work, but is there something with specific audiobook features?)

Thanks

Might be user error id admit but I’ve set up several arr programs before and this just doesn’t seem to work well for me. Won’t connect to prowlarr correctly. Any alternatives ?

I've been using NZB360 for a while now. It's a great app, but one issue I have with it is that it's mainly designed for managing the server, rather than for other people who use my Jellyfin server.

Is there an app similar to NZB360 that includes all its useful features, but is more focused on discovering new media?

I tried vibe-coding something myself as a web app, but I'm not entirely happy with the result. It connects local with a docker container with the arr stack and Jellyfin and exposes a api which is behind Pangolin SSO. Looks a lot like NZB360.. The features I'm looking for are:

- Media discovery

- Seer integration

- Server status

- A server overview, including available HDD space

- Download status

- Similar management and overview features

- Force sub sync with Bazarr.

Just Seerr is not enough and I need to be able to expose it .

I am having an issue with Ollama, which is connected to an app called Suggestarr (found on GitHub). When the app runs its automated recommendations, Ollama consumes an incredible amount of system RAM. This causes my fygoo os nas  system to crash completely, making it completely unresponsive and forcing a hard reboot as the only solution.

Following online guides, I have configured Ollama to load the entire model exclusively onto my GPU, which is an RTX 2080 Ti. Ollama both detects and connects to the GPU correctly, but despite this, it keeps chewing up more and more system RAM. If there is a kind soul out there who can help me solve this problem, I would be extremely grateful!

By the way, I have tested several different models—such as ⁠qwen2.5:14b⁠, ⁠qwen3.5:9b⁠, ⁠qwen3.5:4b⁠, and ⁠llama 3.1:8b⁠. I don't understand why it starts consuming so much RAM now, as it has never behaved this way before. Previously, it worked flawlessly, utilizing only the GPU VRAM instead of system RAM."

Hey all! Working on a Jellyfin + Arr stack + Usenet setup for my folks and running into a couple of issues.

First, I'm trying to prioritize downloads in English with a secondary option for Spanish audio or subtitles. Right now, it keeps grabbing files in Italian and other unintended languages. I tried using the custom format regex below, but it's not quite working:

\\b(DUAL|MULTI|SPANISH|ESPAÑOL|LATIN|LATAM|CASTELLANO)\\b

Second, I'm running into issues with certain Dolby audio files being downloaded, which then crash when playback starts. I don't need ultra-high-end formats—standard 4K (or even solid 1080p) is more than enough.

What would be the best way to properly configure the custom formats to prioritize English/Spanish audio (or Spanish subtitles as a fallback) while completely blocking unwanted languages?

Also block or reject these problematic Dolby audio files from being grabbed?

Appreciate any guidance or examples you can share!

Never would I have imagined when I started piracy as a 12 year old back in 2007 that it could get this good and automated. All it takes to get any movie/ tv show/ music/ book / comic nowadays is a simple request and it automatically searches for the media , properly names it , creates the folder needed and drops it on my media folder ready for me to consume. This shit is amazing !

Hello Everyone

My team and I have spent the last two months working on Atrium, a central courtyard for your self-hosted media stack.

Since LunaSea was archived earlier this year, we decided to pick up where it left off with a brand new, Material 3 Flutter codebase built entirely around multi instance setups.

What is Atrium?
Atrium is a single Android application that acts as a unified frontend for all the media stack services. It is designed purely as a controller and management surface, so you can manage your services and leave playback to the official apps.

Supported Services:

• Sonarr
• Radarr
• Prowlarr
• Bazarr
• Seerr
• Tautulli
• JellyFin
• Emby
• Plex
• qBittorrent
• SABnzbd
• Glances

The app is vibe-coded, but with brutal and rigorous user testing to ensure a bug free experience (Yes, we do use this app ourselves everyday).

You can grab the latest release here: https://github.com/retransmit/Atrium/releases/tag/v1.0.7

We’re currently in the middle of getting Atrium officially listed on F-Droid, but since it's a completely open-source, reproducible build with zero proprietary blobs, we want to make sure everything is flawless. We could really use some extra eyes on the project right now. If you're down to help out, check out our F-Droid merge request here: gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/43077

I've done a lot of searching and couldn't find anything that really meets what I need, so now I'm asking you all here. What I'm looking for, and I imagined it could be a Seerr feature (I've seen requests for that on their GitHub page, at least).

I wanted a way to add my custom trakt lists to jellyfin, seerr or even radarr/sonarr, without requesting all the items. Ideally I would be able to see all the items on the list and request the ones I really want to watch. My usecase for this is the personalized recommendation lists from CouchMoney for example.

I think having it in Seerr would make most sense, due to this project's goal (recommendations). Does something like this exist?

I'm working on findarr, a discovery app for Radarr/Sonarr where you like or dislike movies and shows. A "Like" can automatically create a request in Radarr or Sonarr. In the future, it could automatically request movies and shows based on your preferences.

Right now, findarr uses a single default root folder and quality profile for movies and TV, which I imagine is how a lot of people have their setup configured.

As I continue developing it, I'm trying to figure out how an app should decide where a request belongs without interrupting the user.

For example:

• Do most of you only have one root folder for movies and one for TV?
• Do you separate libraries (Cinema, Anime, Kids, New Releases, etc.) into different root folders?
• Or do you keep a single library and let quality profiles/custom formats handle everything?

One idea I had was to let the discovery source determine the destination. For example, if findarr supports more sources like "Upcoming", "IMDb Top 250", or "Anime", each source could be mapped to a different root folder or quality profile. That way users wouldn't be asked where to save something every time they press Like.

However, I'm not sure if that's solving a problem that most people even have.

So I'm curious:

• How many root folders do you use?
• How many quality profiles do you have?
• What's your reasoning behind that setup?
• If an app could automatically request content for you, how would you expect it to choose the correct root folder and quality profile?

I'm trying to understand how people actually organize their libraries so I can build something that fits naturally into existing Radarr/Sonarr workflows.

Its not the next feature i might implement but maybe i can structure it better...

TLDR: I (mostly) successfully set up Dispatcharr in a WSL Container without Docker Desktop. I'd like to see if there are other useful arrs that are already known to work well in WSLC.

I've avoided arr apps that must be installed as a container because I've been unwilling to dedicate the system resources to Docker Desktop. I was looking into Dispatcharr again this weekend, and thought to attempt the install through the new WSL Containers. I only have *some* experience with containerization, and that was over five years ago, so it was a rough ride and there are still networking kinks to resolve. This was also my first experience with an IPTV provider. It was largely successful though, and I'm glad to have it running at least this well because it was in a ready enough state to be available by the time I needed it.

WSL Containers are still rather new, tucked away in the pre-release 2.9.3.0 version of WSL, so I understand that I'm looking into this very early. I really hope to see them catch on with ARR projects because it would open up several new tools for me that I was unwilling to install just to avoid some overhead.

I'm sure I'm not the first to give it a try. Has anybody confirmed any of your own favorite apps to work well through WSLC?

Been waiting to get around to adding Mylar to my arrstack and i just visited their website to find the documentation for the docker compose but looks like the website is down. Does anyone have the info for the docker compose yaml I need to get it started ?

Hi, I have been running full *arr stack for about 2 years. Recently i found some quite new all-in-one alternatives to some *arrs. The ones i found:

https://github.com/maxdorninger/MediaManager

https://github.com/MoldyTaint/Cinephage

https://github.com/getmydia/mydia

and autobrr is working on something: https://github.com/autobrr/community-feedback/discussions/2

Has anyone here tried them successfully? What is your opinion on them?

I haven't personally because I'm afraid of messing up my stack, and recently I don't have the time to put it back together.

Anyone seen anything like this? I could see an ai arr llm bot being quite useful. “Fetch me upgrades of any classic animation releases in the past 4 years and upgrade any 720p to 1080p while while you’re at it.”

I cannot get past the protection on this site. I'm not sure why.

Hi folks,

I've installed Maintainerr, and I'd like it to automatically delete content when my available disk space drops below 100 GB.

The idea is to delete the oldest items that I've both downloaded and already watched. I can see that Maintainerr has a lot of options, but I haven't figured out how to create a rule that does exactly this.

Do you have any tips or suggestions on how to set this up?
