Sonarr and Radarr

Move your shows from Sonarr and movies from Radarr, with their folders, files and quality choices, without searching again.

Before you start

• Have each app’s address and API key (in that app’s settings), or its backup zip.
• Map your media folders into HolyArrs. The old app’s folder names can differ; you match them in Choose.

Move Sonarr and Radarr

1. Open Settings > Move from other apps and click Add an app.
2. Pick Radarr or Sonarr, type its address and API key, and click Check connection. You should see the app’s name and version.
3. Start the read. Repeat for the other app.
4. In Choose, match each old folder to a Library folder here. You should see Suggested next to folders HolyArrs filled in.
5. Click Try it, check the counts, then Move.

Tip

Old apps often run in other containers and see folders under other names. A rule like /data/media/movies to /movies fixes every title in that folder at once.

What comes over

From Sonarr or Radarr	In HolyArrs
Library folders	Library folders for movies and shows.
Movies and shows	Titles, matched by TMDB or TVDB id. Folders and files stay where they are. A watched title gets Keep up to date; seasons that were not watched stay off. Nothing is searched for during the move.
Quality profiles	Each one matched to the closest Pick rules preset (Standard, 4K). Try it shows why. Titles use the preset of their profile.
Exclusions	The Never-add list.
Radarr’s release stage per movie, and its availability delay	Each movie’s Release gate and gate delay, up to 365 days. Your default for new movies stays.
The untagged default wait rule	The preferred protocol and Usenet and torrent waits on the matched Pick rules, up to 7 days. See Waits.
Radarr TMDB lists, Trakt lists and Trakt watchlists	Outside lists, added paused, with folder, Pick rules, Keep up to date, search on add, Release gate and read interval (6 to 168 hours). A Trakt list must be public and needs your Trakt key.
Torznab, Newznab and RSS indexers	Sources, added paused and blocked from your home network.
Download clients (qBittorrent, SABnzbd, Transmission, Deluge, NZBGet)	Downloaders, added paused and blocked from your home network. They use the holyarrs category, so they never pick up the old apps’ downloads.
Remote path mappings	Different folder names on the Downloader at that host, up to 100 pairs. A Downloader that was already here is left alone, and its pairs are listed for you to add by hand. A pair whose folder HolyArrs cannot see yet is still added and marked “not visible here yet (check your mounts)”.
Naming	HolyArrs naming, where a pattern word has a match. Nothing on disk is renamed.
Discord, webhook and email notifications	Alerts, off until you type the link, address or mail password.

An indexer is a site that lists releases; in HolyArrs it is a Source.

Choices

Folders

In Choose, each old folder that is not a Library folder here gets a row. Pick the matching Library folder, or Other path… and type one. When the old folder is missing here but a Library folder with the same last name exists, HolyArrs fills it in as Suggested.

Under Advanced, add path rules. The longest matching rule wins. Titles whose folder is still not found are listed with the reason; fix the rule and move again. Nothing is added twice.

Waits

The old default wait rule comes over only when it differs from that app’s own default, and only while those Pick rules keep the waits they came with. “Skip the wait at the top quality” turns on Skip the wait once good enough. If two apps set different waits for the same Pick rules, neither is used. Try it shows the change and how many versions use those Pick rules.

What stays behind

Custom formats, tag-scoped wait rules (listed with their waits, so you can set them under Pick rules), release word rules, language profiles, tags, import lists from Sonarr (Outside lists add movies only), list kinds HolyArrs does not read (IMDb, Plex, another Radarr, Trakt watched or collection lists), metadata writers, download categories and notification kinds other than Discord, webhook and email. Each is on the not moved list with its reason. Auto-tag rules and history are not read.

If it does not work

Symptom	Cause	Fix
Check connection fails	The address works from your computer but not from the HolyArrs server.	Use the address the server can reach. For a home-network app, turn on the local network switch.
Titles show as not found	No path rule matches their folder.	Add a rule under Advanced in Choose, then move again.
A path pair says “not visible here yet (check your mounts)”	HolyArrs cannot see that folder.	Add the mount to the container. The pair is already saved.

For experts

Remote path mappings in detail

A Downloader that was already here is left alone; its pairs are listed for you to add by hand. A pair whose folder HolyArrs cannot see yet is still added and marked “not visible here yet (check your mounts)”.
