# arr-tui

A terminal UI to search for movies and series with [Radarr](https://radarr.video) and
[Sonarr](https://sonarr.tv), pick releases by hand, and follow the downloads in
[SABnzbd](https://sabnzbd.org).

- **Movies / Series**: search as you type, add titles with a quality profile and root folder,
  optionally start the automatic search.
- **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. 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 or when fontconfig finds an installed font with
  them (not over SSH), 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.
- **Downloads**: SABnzbd queue and history plus the Radarr/Sonarr queues. Pause/resume, delete,
  retry failed downloads, remove from the arr queue and blocklist.
- **Config (F6)**: edit everything in the config file from inside the program, in one list you move
  through with the arrow keys: service addresses and API keys, the add-form defaults, refresh interval, posters, notifications. *Test*
  checks the values you typed before saving; *Save* writes the file (permissions kept, `0600` for a
  new file) and applies the changes at once, no restart. Values that come from `ARR_TUI_*`
  environment variables are greyed out and are never written to the file.
- **Log (F7)**: actions report through popups that fade away; the log keeps the history.
- **Download notifications**: a popup (and a log entry) when a SABnzbd download finishes or fails,
  whichever view is open. SABnzbd's history is checked every 15 seconds; downloads that finished
  before arr-tui started are not announced. `"ui": {"notify_downloads": false}` turns it off,
  `"bell": true` also rings the terminal bell.
- Connection indicators for all three services in the top right; `F9` shows every key.

Requires Radarr/Sonarr v3+ API (Radarr 5/6, Sonarr 4) and SABnzbd 4+. Only Usenet releases are
shown for grabbing, torrents are hidden.

## Install

```sh
go install git.stinnesbeck.com/nils/arr-tui/cmd/arr-tui@latest
```

or build from a checkout (`make build`), or `make dist` for cross-compiled binaries in `dist/`.

## Configure

Copy `config.example.json` to `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/arr-tui/config.json` (usually
`~/.config/arr-tui/config.json`), or pass `--config path`. API keys are in each app under
Settings → General.

```json
{
  "radarr":  { "url": "http://localhost:7878", "apikey": "...", "default_quality_profile": "HD-1080p", "default_root_folder": "/movies" },
  "sonarr":  { "url": "http://localhost:8989", "apikey": "...", "default_quality_profile": "HD-1080p", "default_root_folder": "/tv" },
  "sabnzbd": { "url": "http://localhost:8080", "apikey": "..." },
  "ui":      { "refresh_seconds": 3, "covers": true, "cover_style": "auto", "notify_downloads": true, "bell": false }
}
```

`default_*` are optional preselections in the add dialog. URL and key can also come from the
environment: `ARR_TUI_{RADARR,SONARR,SABNZBD}_{URL,APIKEY}`, which takes precedence over the file.
Keep the file private (`chmod 600`); it holds your API keys.

## Development

`dev/` has a compose file with pinned Radarr, Sonarr and SABnzbd containers plus a fake indexer;
see [dev/README.md](dev/README.md).
`make test` runs vet and the unit tests. The design and
milestone history are in [SPECS.md](SPECS.md).

Releases: tag and push, then `scripts/release.sh` (or `make release`) builds the binaries and publishes
them on Gitea with the matching `CHANGELOG.md` section. It needs an access token with write access
to the repository in `$GITEA_TOKEN` or `~/.config/arr-tui-release-token`; `--check` verifies
everything without publishing, `--dry-run` builds without publishing.
