Sonarr and Radarr keep grabbing releases from a couple specific groups ( ‘SuccessfulCrab’ and ‘ELiTE’) for items that clearly haven’t even aired yet. These almost always contain only .scr or .lnk files, which have been blocklisted in my torrent client. This leaves Sonarr/Radarr awaiting manual intervention for ‘complete’ downloads that contain no files.
How do I get them to block anything and everything that contain the strings ‘SuccessfulCrab’ and ‘ELiTE’ ??? I want them to stop even trying to grab anything released by those two groups.
I’m so sick of dealing with these.
I think in quality profiles you can set up blockwords. I did that to block Dolby vision “DoVi” releases as I couldn’t get them to play reliably.
Ok, I think I’ve got this right?
Settings > Profiles > Release Profiles.
Created one, setup ‘must not contain’ words, indexer ‘any’, enabled.
That should just apply globally? I’m not seeing anywhere else I’ve got to enable it in specific series, clients, or indexers.
Yes.
Keep in mind it doesn’t apply to file extensions. I forget if there’s a feature request outstanding or if it was rejected.
Awesome. Thanks you two, I appreciate the help. :)
This is how i do it and it’s very successful. I have a group block list and terms blocklist. Just a nice baseline too have before you set up your regular quality profiles.
Mh, I thought there was a way to do this with tags but this is probably it
I think if you didn’t assign a tag on the Release Profile it applies to all series.
I think that’s right. Maybe the release profile needs to be applied to the quality? I’ll see if I can open my configs up and find where it applies.
Awesome. Thanks you two, I appreciate the help. :)
Thank you, you three, setting this up right away.
