⁠What is funkypenguin/radarrsync ?

A Dockerization of https://github.com/Sperryfreak01/RadarrSync⁠, plus a few enhancments:

• Ability to rewrite path of movie on destination Raddarr instance : 39⁠
• Ability to sync between arbitrary quality profiles on source and target instance : 38⁠

⁠Why should I use this?

You should use it if you use Docker for your Radarr instances⁠, and you want to sync content (like your watchlist) between two Radarr instances, for the purposes of downloading two separate files of different quality (say, a 1080P WebDL and a 4K UHD).

⁠How do I use this?

⁠CHANGELOG

• Initial release : (1 Jan 2019)

⁠Upstream README follows..

⁠RadarrSync

Syncs two Radarr servers through web API.

⁠Why

Many Plex servers choke if you try to transcode 4K files. To address this a common approach is to keep a 4k and a 1080/720 version in seperate libraries.

Radarr does not support saving files to different folder roots for different quality profiles. To save 4K files to a seperate library in plex you must run two Radarr servers. This script looks for movies with a quality setting of 4k on one server and creates the movies on a second server.

⁠Configuration

1. Edit the Config.txt file and enter your servers URLs and API keys for each server.

   Example Config.txt:

   [Radarr]
   url = https://example.com:443
   key = FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8
   
   [Radarr4k]
   url = http://127.0.0.1:8080
   key = FCKGW-RHQQ2-YXRKT-8TG6W-2B7Q8
   

   Copy

2. Edit 4K profile on the server that will download 1080/720p files. You want the quality profile to download the highest non-4k quality your Plex server can stream with choking.

⁠How to Run

Recomended to run using cron every 15 minutes or an interval of your preference.

python RadarSync.py

⁠Requirements

• Python 3.4 or greater
• 2x Radarr servers
• Install requirements.txt

⁠Notes

• Ensure that the root path is the same on both servers. ie /movies
