  • I agree, for folks that don’t align with common use cases something like Trash is great. But there are always common configs, in all things that the masses would benefit from. For example, with blocklists you often have users who want to block all ads, porn, only ads from large companies but not small businesses, politics, etc. Different strokes for different folks.

    Same is true with Sonarr & Radarr, where you have users who prefer different things, like foreign content, subtitled content, audio quality, specific video formats, etc. Chances are there is a configuration that would strike a balance for the masses and make most users happy. Just like most users are happy with a general ad blocklist without having to think much about what it is or isn’t blocking.

    I’ll probably check out Cleanuparr for my own needs, that looks like a step in the right direction.


  • I appreciate the advice, but I’m not solely referring to the customization of filtering, of course it has the ability to do that, almost every comment in this thread is about that. The feature I am raising is about syncing community maintained txt blobs, Trash tells us exactly how to sync the guide with Sonarr/Radarr, but not without additional software or manual effort.

    Trash may offer excellent filters, but they are often incomplete, and do not promote community involvement. A URL pointed at a single source of truth inherently would, this is a popular approach with blocklists all over the web. If a user wants to modify the list, and has to post to a single moderated source, everyone benefits. But currently as a user you either setup syncing orchestration or you manually copy Trash. Neither of which lends itself toward keeping the community up to date.

    If you are aware of a way to have Sonarr/Radarr pull directly from a single source of truth and update itself, that would be great though.









  • For those who are unfamiliar with the Spotweb client for Spotnet:

    Spotweb is a Spotnet implementation in PHP. Spotnet only shows actual Spots - spots are manually created by humans which categorize them and provide an image and description for the spot. You cannot compare Spotweb with for example Newznab or other such systems as its a moderated and curated system with manual intervention.

    This makes Spotweb slightly slower for new content but should most likely raise the bar on quality - depending on the Spotters.

    Spotarr is an alternative client.







  • Yea it can be read, but it’s generally considered open source when it is both readable and modifiable, and this is not. In a commercial setting this would need a license approved by OSI as well.

    Code that can be read but not used for much isn’t in the spirit of open source. It reminds me of a rich kid who gets yet another new toy and wants everyone to see what they have for attention but won’t let them touch it. We should call this something else entirely, perhaps readable source.
