¶ Announcement: Retirement of Readarr
We would like to announce that the Readarr project has been retired. This difficult decision was made due to a combination of factors: the project's metadata has become unusable, we no longer have the time to remake or repair it, and the community effort to transition to using Open Library as the source has stalled without much progress.
Third-party metadata mirrors exist, but as we're not involved with them at all, we cannot provide support for them. Use of them is entirely at your own risk. The most popular mirror appears to be rreading-glasses.
Without anyone to take over Readarr development, we expect it to wither away, so we still encourage you to seek alternatives to Readarr.
¶ Key Points
- Effective Immediately: The retirement takes effect immediately. Please stay tuned for any possible further communications.
- Support Window: We will provide support during a brief transition period to help with troubleshooting non metadata related issues.
- Alternative Solutions: Users are encouraged to explore and adopt any other possible solutions as alternatives to Readarr.
- Opportunities for Revival: We are open to someone taking over and revitalizing the project. If you are interested, please get in touch.
- Gratitude: We extend our deepest gratitude to all the contributors and community members who supported Readarr over the years.
Thank you for being part of the Readarr journey. For any inquiries or assistance during this transition, please contact our team.
Sincerely,
The Servarr Team
¶ Wanted
The Wanted pages will show you all books that are either Missing or have not yet met their Cutoff.
¶ Missing
The Missing page shows you all books that are monitored (i.e. Wanted), and missing from your collection completely.
You can search for items automatically by clicking on the magnifying glass on the right, or selecting 1 or more items in the checkboxes on the left and clicking "Search Selected" at the top, or by clicking "Search All" at the top.
If you click "Search All", you CANNOT STOP THIS SEARCH, even with a restart. Unless you have fewer than 60 items, this is highly discouraged!
If you want to do an interactive search where you get to select your download from a list, click the person icon to the right of your book.
If you want to unmonitor books from this page, select them in the checkbox and clicl "Unmonitor Selected" at the top.
You can also do a Manual Import from here by clicking the icon at the top. This will allow you to import from somewhere other than your Root Folder, and manually match up the author and the book. It will move, rename, and organize your files to where they belong.
¶ Cutoff Unmet
The Cutoff Unmet screen is like the Missing screen. The difference is that there are book files already in your library, but they are not in the quality or format you prefer, so Readarr is still looking for a "better" copy for you.
Like the Missing page, you can unmonitor or initiate searches from this page.
