SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually searching for and adding media to a home media server is time-consuming and error-prone, especially when disambiguating between multiple releases of the same title or handling different media types like movies, TV shows, and anime.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic media type detection: Routes content to the correct service (Radarr for movies, Sonarr for TV shows) without manual input, including special handling for anime content.
  • Duplicate and match validation: Checks your existing library to avoid re-adding content, and confirms search matches with you if multiple plausible results exist.
  • Use Case: You want to watch a specific 1983 comedy called Vacation — just tell the skill the title, and it will find the correct release, add it to your server, and confirm it will appear in Jellyfin once downloaded.

Quick Start

Use the grab skill to add the movie Vacation 1983 to your home media server for download.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically add movies to Radarr without using the web interface?▼

You can automate adding movies to Radarr by providing just the title, which triggers automatic media type detection, duplicate library checking, and quality profile configuration without manual web interface navigation.

How does automatic media type detection handle anime differently in Sonarr?▼

Automatic media type detection routes standard TV shows to Sonarr and applies special classification handling for anime content, ensuring titles are correctly disambiguated and added to the appropriate category.

Can I add media to Jellyfin and have it download automatically from a single request?▼

Yes, you can request a movie or TV show by title, and the system queues it for download via Radarr or Sonarr, confirming it will automatically appear in Jellyfin once the download completes.

What happens if I try to add a movie that is already in my media server library?▼

The system performs duplicate and match validation against your existing library to avoid re-adding content, and it will prompt you for confirmation if multiple plausible search results exist for the title.

Do I need to manually configure quality profiles when adding TV shows to Sonarr?▼

No, quality profile configuration is handled automatically when adding TV shows to Sonarr, alongside secure API key retrieval and user confirmation of the queued content.

What is the best way to disambiguate movie titles like Vacation 1983 for media automation?▼
