- **Interactive search**: list the releases Radarr/Sonarr find (approved or rejected, with reasons),
sort and filter them (by approval, quality, x265 / x264 / AV1, HDR, Dolby Vision, audio format, language), and grab one. Series: pick a season or a single episode first.
- **Posters**: the detail panes show the poster at the top right; title, facts, path and plot
flow along its left side and continue at full width below it. It is drawn with colored block characters (works over SSH, needs a terminal
with colors). Library items use the copy stored in Radarr/Sonarr; search results are downloaded
from the metadata provider's image host (TMDb, TheTVDB). Turn it off with
`"ui": {"covers": false}`. `"ui": {"cover_style": ...}` picks the characters: `quadrant` (2x2
pixels per cell, every font has them), `sextant` (2x3, sharper, needs a font with the Symbols for
Legacy Computing block, e.g. kitty, WezTerm, foot, Ghostty) or `auto` (default: sextant on
terminals known to support it, quadrant elsewhere). If you see boxes or question marks in the
poster, set `quadrant`.
- **Library**: browse movies (top) and series (below) with a details pane on the right, filter by status (missing / downloaded / monitored) and by file properties (quality, x265 / x264 / AV1, HDR, Dolby Vision, audio format, language), toggle
monitoring, trigger searches, remove titles (the files stay on disk unless you tick "Delete files"). Series open into seasons and episodes with per-season and
per-episode monitoring, automatic search and release search.
flow along its left side and continue at full width below it. In kitty and Ghostty it is a real
image at the terminal's full resolution (Kitty graphics protocol with Unicode placeholders, so
popups and dialogs cover it like text). Everywhere else it is drawn with colored block characters,
which works over SSH and in any terminal with colors. Library items use the copy stored in
Radarr/Sonarr; search results are downloaded from the metadata provider's image host (TMDb,
TheTVDB). Turn it off with `"ui": {"covers": false}`. `"ui": {"cover_style": ...}` picks the
drawing: `auto` (default: real images where the terminal is known to support them, otherwise
sextants on terminals known to have the glyphs, else quadrants), `kitty` (force real images),
`sextant` (2x3 pixels per cell, needs a font with the Symbols for Legacy Computing block) or
`quadrant` (2x2, every font has them). Inside tmux or screen the block styles are used. If a
poster looks wrong, set `quadrant`.
- **Calendar**: the next two weeks of movie releases (cinemas, digital, physical) and airing episodes
in one list grouped by day, with poster and plot. Move by weeks, include unmonitored items, search
for releases or start an automatic search from there.
