<h2 id="search-settings">Search Settings</h2>

|
|
<p>Configure how Huntarr searches for missing music and upgrades in your Lidarr instance. These settings control Huntarr's behavior when processing your music library.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="missing-search-mode"><i class="fas fa-search" style="margin-right: 10px; color: #2ecc71;"></i>Missing Search Mode</h3>
|
|
<p>Determines how Huntarr searches for missing music:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Albums:</strong> Searches for complete albums. Recommended for most music collections</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Tracks:</strong> Searches for individual tracks. Useful for compilation albums or singles</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Artists:</strong> Searches at the artist level for discographies</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="upgrade-mode"><i class="fas fa-arrow-up" style="margin-right: 10px; color: #2ecc71;"></i>Upgrade Mode</h3>
|
|
<p>Controls how Huntarr handles quality upgrades:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Albums:</strong> Upgrades entire albums when better quality becomes available</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Tracks:</strong> Upgrades individual tracks for better quality</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Artists:</strong> Upgrades at the artist level for consistent quality across discography</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="upgrade-selection-method"><i class="fas fa-list-check" style="margin-right: 10px; color: #2ecc71;"></i>Upgrade Selection Method</h3>
|
|
<p>You can choose how Huntarr selects which artists to consider for upgrades:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Cutoff unmet (default):</strong> Uses Lidarr's <strong>Wanted → Cutoff Unmet</strong> list. Only albums that don't meet your quality/custom-format cutoff are eligible. Same behavior as before.</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Tags (Upgradinatorr-style):</strong> Huntarr finds artists that <strong>DON'T</strong> have your specified tag (e.g. <code>upgradinatorr</code>), searches their albums for upgrades, then <strong>ADDS</strong> the tag to the artist after processing to mark them as complete. This matches <a href="https://github.com/angrycuban13/Just-A-Bunch-Of-Starr-Scripts/blob/main/Upgradinatorr/README.md" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Upgradinatorr's</a> behavior: the tag tracks which artists have already been processed, not which ones to search. The tag is automatically created in Lidarr if it doesn't exist.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>In both cases, Huntarr triggers <strong>AlbumSearch</strong> for the selected albums; Lidarr still decides what to grab based on your quality profile and custom format scores.</p>

<strong>📊 Example Scenario:</strong><br>
|
|
<strong>Cutoff Unmet:</strong> You have 200 albums below cutoff from 50 artists. Huntarr searches 5 albums per cycle, finds upgrades for 3. Next cycle, those 3 are gone (met cutoff), but the other 2 appear again along with 3 new ones from the remaining 195. This continues until all 200 meet cutoff or no more upgrades exist.<br><br>
|
|
<strong>Tags:</strong> You have 1000 artists with no <code>upgradinatorr</code> tag. Huntarr searches 5 albums per cycle (from different artists), tags those artists after processing (whether upgrades found or not). Next cycle searches albums from 5 different artists. Eventually all 1000 artists have been processed once and tagged - done forever.
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<div class="alert alert-warning">
|
|
<strong>⚠️ Important:</strong> With <strong>Tags mode</strong>, artists are marked as "processed" even if no upgrades were found for their albums. If you want to re-process artists later (e.g., after adding new indexers), you must manually remove the tag in Lidarr.

|
|
|
|
<div class="alert alert-info">
|
|
<strong>📋 Lidarr Configuration Required:</strong>
|
|
<ul style="margin-bottom: 0;">
|
|
<li><strong>Lidarr → Settings → Profiles → Quality Profile → Upgrade Until Custom Format Score</strong></li>
|
|
<li>Set <strong>Upgrade Until Custom Format Score</strong> to at least <code>10000</code></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Why Custom Format Scores Matter</h4>
|
|
<p><strong>Huntarr does not decide what to upgrade—Lidarr does.</strong> When Huntarr triggers a search for upgrades, Lidarr evaluates the search results using your configured quality profile and custom format scores to determine whether a release is an upgrade worth grabbing.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Key Points:</strong></p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><strong>Quality Cutoff:</strong> The minimum quality level you're willing to accept (e.g., MP3-320, FLAC)</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Custom Formats:</strong> Additional scoring criteria beyond basic quality (e.g., preferred release groups, audio codec preferences, edition types)</li>
|
|
<li><strong>Upgrade Until Custom Format Score:</strong> The score threshold at which Lidarr stops considering upgrades. Setting this to 10000 (or higher) ensures Lidarr will continue upgrading as long as better-scoring releases are found</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>How It Works:</strong></p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Huntarr identifies albums eligible for upgrade (based on your chosen upgrade selection method)</li>
|
|
<li>Huntarr triggers an <strong>AlbumSearch</strong> command in Lidarr</li>
|
|
<li>Lidarr searches indexers and scores each result using your quality profile + custom formats</li>
|
|
<li>Lidarr automatically grabs releases that score higher than your current file (up to your "Upgrade Until" threshold)</li>
|
|
<li>Without proper custom format scoring configured, Lidarr may not grab upgrades even when better releases are available</li>
|
|
</ol>

<h3 id="additional-options"><i class="fas fa-cogs" style="margin-right: 10px; color: #9b59b6;"></i>Additional Options</h3>
|
|
<p>Fine-tune Huntarr's behavior with these additional settings:</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="monitored-only"><i class="fas fa-eye" style="margin-right: 8px; color: #2ecc71;"></i>Monitored Only</h4>
|
|
<p>When enabled, Huntarr will only search for music that is marked as "Monitored" in Lidarr. This prevents searches for artists or albums you've intentionally unmonitored.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h4 id="skip-future-releases"><i class="fas fa-calendar" style="margin-right: 8px; color: #e74c3c;"></i>Skip Future Releases</h4>
|
|
<p>When enabled, Huntarr will skip albums with future release dates. This prevents unnecessary searches for content that hasn't been released yet.</p>

|
<h4>No Missing Music Found</h4>
|
|
<p>If Huntarr reports no missing music but you know there are gaps:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Ensure "Monitored Only" is configured correctly for your needs</li>
|
|

|
|
<li>Verify "Skip Future Releases" isn't preventing searches for available content</li>
|
|

|
|
</ul>
|

|
|
<h4>Music Indexer Rate Limiting</h4>
|
|
<p>If you're getting rate limited by music indexers:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Reduce the "API Cap - Hourly" setting significantly (try 100-200)</li>
|
|
<li>Increase the "Sleep Duration" to 30+ minutes between cycles</li>
|
|
<li>Lower the "Missing Search" and "Upgrade Search" limits to 1-2</li>
|
|
<li>Music indexers are typically more restrictive than movie/TV indexers</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h4>Metadata Issues</h4>

|
|
<li>Check that your indexers have the quality levels you're seeking</li>
