Connections

Add Radarr/Sonarr Connections

  1. Navigate to the application in your browser at http://localhost:7889/settings/connections.

    Trailarr Login

    When you open Trailarr in browser, it will ask you to login. Default login is:

    Username: admin
Password: trailarr

  2. Go to Settings > Connections and Click the Add New button to add your Radarr and Sonarr instances. Add New

  3. Add your Radarr and Sonarr instances. Add Connection

  4. Set the Connection Name to a name of your choice.

  5. Set the Type to either Radarr or Sonarr.

  6. Set the Monitor Type to your preference. See Monitor Types below for more information.

    Tip

    You can set different monitor types for each Radarr/Sonarr instance.

  7. Add the URL for your Radarr or Sonarr instance. Full URL of your Radarr or Sonarr instance including the port number. For example, http://192.168.0.15:6969.

  8. Add the API Key from your Radarr or Sonarr instance. Get API Key by opening Radarr/Sonarr in your browser, going to Settings > General, then copy the API key.

  9. If you have a setup that requires Path Mappings to be set as described in Volume Mapping, you can add them here. See Path Mapping below for more information.

    Tip

    You can set different path mappings for each Radarr/Sonarr instance.

    Warning

    Path mappings are optional and only required if you have a setup that requires them.

  10. Click the Save button to save the connection.

  11. Repeat the steps for each Radarr and Sonarr instance you want to monitor.

  12. That's it! The application will now start downloading trailers for your media library. See settings for more information on how to adjust settings.

Monitor Types

Missing

Monitors and downloads trailers for movies/series without a trailer.

New

Only Monitors and download trailers for movies/series that gets added after the change.

Sync

Monitors and downloads trailers for movie/series that are monitored in Radarr/Sonarr.

None

Turns off monitoring for the connection and does not download any trailers.

Tip

If you have a huge library and don't want to download trailers for all of them, set the monitor type to None when adding a Radarr/Sonarr Connection. Wait for an hour or so to let the app sync all media from that connection, and change it to New to download trailers for new media. You can always manually set the monitor type for the movies/series you want to download trailers for.

Path Mapping

In simple words, Path Mappings are used to tell Trailarr what to replace the path with when it gets a path from Radarr/Sonarr. Path From is what it looks for in the path, and Path To is what it replaces it with.

If you are using Windows, you might need to add path mappings in most cases, unless you are also running Radarr/Sonarr as docker containers. See Volume Mapping for more information.

Info

Path mappings are optional and only required if you have a setup that requires them. You can set different path mappings for each Radarr/Sonarr instance.

Example

Adding a path mapping for a connection as: 

Path From: C:\Users\username\Movies
Path To: /media/movies
will replace C:\Users\username\Movies with /media/movies in the path received from Radarr/Sonarr. So, if Radarr/Sonarr sends a path like C:\Users\username\Movies\The MAtrix (1999), it will be replaced with /media/movies/The Matrix (1999).

  1. Click the Add Path Mapping button. Add Path Mapping

  2. Set the Path From to the path inside Radarr/Sonarr connection.

  3. Set the Path To to the path inside the Trailarr container. Path Mapping

  4. Click the Save button to save the path mapping.

  5. Repeat the steps for each path mapping you want to add, if needed.

Tip

Path mappings are useful when the media folder available to Radarr/Sonarr is same for multiple connections. For example, if Radarr has media folder set to /media and Sonarr has media folder set to /media, you can map the local folder for Radarr media to /media/movies and Sonarr media to /media/tv and then in add path mappings with Path From set to /media and Path To set to /media/movies for Radarr and /media/tv for Sonarr connections.

Warning

For Path Mappings to work, you need to set the Path From to the exact path inside Radarr/Sonarr connection and Path To to the exact path inside the Trailarr container. If the paths do not match, the path mapping will not work. Path Mappings needs to be paired with Volume Mapping in the docker-compose.yml file. See Volume Mapping for more information.
