Step 1: Find movie in Radarr

bash .claude/skills/radarr-grab/lookup-movie.sh <search term>

If not found, add it (Step 1b).

Step 1b: Add movie to Radarr (if not present)

First lookup TMDB ID:

bash .claude/skills/radarr-grab/lookup-tmdb.sh <search term>

Then add:

bash .claude/skills/radarr-grab/add-movie.sh <tmdbId>

Default quality profile: 5 (Ultra-HD). Root folder: /data/media/movies.

Step 2: Search releases

bash .claude/skills/radarr-grab/search-releases.sh <movieId>

Step 3: Evaluate and present options to user

Pick top candidates and show:

#	Title	Seeds	Size	Quality	Approved
1	...	N	X GB	Bluray-2160p	✓

Quality guidance:

• Prefer 2160p (Ultra-HD) with good seeds
• approved: True = passes quality profile; prefer these
• YTS: small/clean x265 — good default
• Remux: 50–80 GB lossless — only if user wants best possible
• Rejected releases may still be grabbed; check rejections for reason (often just quality profile mismatch)

Always confirm with user before proceeding.

Step 4: Grab by rank

bash .claude/skills/radarr-grab/grab-by-rank.sh <movieId> <rank>

rank is 1-indexed matching the number shown in search-releases output.

Step 5: Verify in queue

bash .claude/skills/radarr-grab/check-queue.sh <title keyword>

Quality profiles

ID	Name
1	Any
4	HD-1080p
5	Ultra-HD
6	HD - 720p/1080p

If a release is rejected due to quality profile mismatch, update the movie's profile before grabbing:

source /workspaces/home-kubernetes/.env
RADARR_BASE=https://radarr.local.abbottland.io
MOVIE=$(curl -s "$RADARR_BASE/api/v3/movie/<ID>" -H "X-Api-Key: $RADARR_API_KEY")
UPDATED=$(echo "$MOVIE" | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); d['qualityProfileId']=5; print(json.dumps(d))")
curl -s -X PUT "$RADARR_BASE/api/v3/movie/<ID>" -H "X-Api-Key: $RADARR_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "$UPDATED" | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); print('qualityProfileId:', d.get('qualityProfileId'))"
