Quasarr connects JDownloader with Radarr and Sonarr. It also decrypts links protected by CAPTCHAs.

Quasarr poses as a Newznab Indexer and a SABnzbd client. It will thus never work in parallel with a real NZB indexer and download client set up. Torrents are unaffected. To still use NZB indexers, you must set fixed download clients in the advanced indexer settings for Radarr/Sonarr.

Quasarr includes a solution to quickly and easily decrypt protected links. Active Sponsors get access to SponsorsHelper to do so automatically. Alternatively follow the link from the console output (or discord notification) to solve the CAPTCHA manually. Quasarr will confidently handle the rest.

Instructions

• Set up at least one hostname for Quasarr to use
  • Chose your own or use the HOSTNAMES variable to provide a list of hostnames.
  • This project will not condone nor provide you with hostnames. Search Google, Pastebin, etc. for suggestions.
  • Always redact hostnames when creating issues in this repo.
  • Quasarr will become available once at least one suitable hostname is set.
• Provide your My-JDownloader-Credentials
  • Consider setting up a fresh JDownloader before you begin.
  • Quasarr will modify settings of JDownloader so downloads can be properly handled by Radarr/Sonarr.
  • If using docker make extra sure that JDownloader's download path is available to Radarr/Sonarr with the exakt same internal and external path mapping. Just matching the external path is not enough.
• Set up Quasarr as Newznab Indexer and SABnzbd Download Client in Radarr/Sonarr
  • Use the API key from console output (or copy it from the Quasarr web UI)
  • Leave all other settings at default.
• To see download status information
  • Open Activity → Queue → Options in Radarr/Sonarr
  • Enable Release Title

Docker

It is highly recommended to run the latest docker image with all optional variables set.

docker run -d \
  --name="Quasarr" \
  -p port:8080 \
  -v /path/to/config/:/config:rw \
  -e 'INTERNAL_ADDRESS'='http://192.168.0.1:8080' \
  -e 'EXTERNAL_ADDRESS'='https://foo.bar/' \
  -e 'DISCORD'='https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1234567890/ABCDEFGHIJKLMN' \
  -e 'HOSTNAMES'='https://pastebin.com/raw/eX4Mpl3'
  ghcr.io/rix1337/quasarr:latest

• INTERNAL_ADDRESS is required so Radarr/Sonarr can reach Quasarr. Must include port!
• EXTERNAL_ADDRESS is optional and used in Discord notifications.
• DISCORD is optional and must be a valid Discord Webhook URL.
• HOSTNAMES is optional and allows skipping the manual hostname step during setup.
  • Must be a publicly available HTTP or HTTPs link
  • Must be a raw .ini / text file (not html or json)
  • Must contain at least one valid Hostname per line ab = xyz

Manual setup

Use this only in case you cant run the docker image.

pip install

• Requires Python 3.12 or later

  --port=8080
  --discord=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/1234567890/ABCDEFGHIJKLMN
  --external_address=https://foo.bar/
  --hostnames=https://pastebin.com/raw/eX4Mpl3

• --discord see DISCORDdocker variable
• --external_address see EXTERNAL_ADDRESSdocker variable
• --hostnames see HOSTNAMESdocker variable

Philosophy

Complexity is the killer of solo projects like this one. It must be fought at all cost!

Therefore, feature toggles to modify Quasarr's behavior will never be introduced to this project.

Consider that every choice for the user must be reflected throughout the project. Every feature toggle therefore is a negative multiplier for future development efforts. This project's predecessor FeedCrawler died because it allowed an insane amount of flexibility.

I will not waste my precious time on features that will slow future development cycles down. Issues, feature and pull requests that are meant to introduce feature toggles will therefore be rejected.

• If you need to update hostnames or My-JDownloader-Credentials, simply delete the config and restart Quasarr.
• Radarr/Sonarr provide custom formats to automatically chose the most fitting release for a given search.
• Quasarr will always prefix release titles with the source hostname in square brackets in case you want to apply custom format scores to certain hostnames.

Roadmap

• Assume there are zero known issues unless you find one or more open issues in this repository.
• Still having an issue? Provide a detailed report here!
• The feature set is considered complete. Most feature requests can be satisfied by:
  • Existing settings in Radarr/Sonarr
  • Existing settings in JDownloader
  • Existing tools from the *arr ecosystem that integrate directly with Radarr/Sonarr
• Exposing the mirrors of a release to Radarr/Sonarr is a desired feature. This will allow scoring desired mirrors using custom profiles in Radarr/Sonarr. Quasarr will always provide all found mirrors at once, if they are protected by the same or no CAPTCHA.
• There are no hostname integrations in active development.
• Adding one or more hostnames focused on English content is highly desired.
  • Please provide suggestions in a private thread on Discord.
• Pull requests are welcome. Especially for popular hostnames.
  • Always reach out on Discord before starting work on a new feature.
  • Please follow the existing code style and project structure.
  • Anti-bot measures must be circumvented without relying on third party tools like Flaresolverr.
  • Please provide proof of functionality (screenshots/examples) when submitting your pull request.
