Examples

Trailarr automatically adds 2 Profiles when you first install it:

  • Movie Trailers
  • Series Trailers

These profiles are created with the default settings and filters, and can be edited or deleted as needed. You can also create your own profiles from scratch or duplicate these profiles to create new ones.

Let's go over these to understand how they work and also explain the Filters.

Example 1: Movie Trailers Profile

The Movie Trailers profile is used to download trailers for movies. It comes with all the default settings as defined in the Settings section, and the following filters:

ID Filter By Condition Filter Value
1 Is Movie Equals true

Ignore the ID column, it is just for reference.

Filter 1

This filter checks if the media item is a movie. If the media item is a movie, the filter will match and the profile will be applied.

Result

With this filter, the Movie Trailers profile applies to all movies. When the Download Missing Trailers task runs, it downloads a trailer only for movies where this profile does not already have one. A profile that already owns a downloaded trailer never downloads again.

No Trailer Exists filter anymore

v0.11.0 Older versions used a Trailer Exists = false filter here to prevent re-downloads. Trailarr tracks downloads per profile since v0.10.0 and prevents re-downloads automatically. The filter was removed in v0.11.0.

Example 2: Series Trailers Profile

The Series Trailers profile is used to download trailers for TV series. It comes with all the default settings as defined in the Settings section, and the following filters:

ID Filter By Condition Filter Value
1 Is Movie Equals false

Ignore the ID column, it is just for reference.

One Setting that is different from the Movie Trailers profile is that the Series Trailers profile has Folder Enabled set to true. So that Series trailers are saved in a Trailers folder inside the Series folder.

Filter 1

This filter checks if the media item is a series. If the media item is a series, the filter will match and the profile will be applied.

Result

With this filter, the Series Trailers profile applies to all TV series. When the Download Missing Trailers task runs, it downloads a trailer only for series where this profile does not already have one.

Example 3: Spanish Movie Trailers Profile

  • Create a profile by clicking on the Add New button in the Profiles page.
  • Name the profile Spanish Movie Trailers.

  • Set the below Filters:

    ID Filter By Condition Filter Value
    1 Is Movie Equals true
    2 Language Equals Spanish

  • Click Create to create the profile.

  • Change the following Settings:

    • Set Priority to 1 which is higher than the Movie Trailers profile, so that this profile is used first for matching movies.
    • Set Include Words in Title to Español.
    • Set Search Query to {title} {year} {is_movie} Tráiler en español.
    • Set Always Search to true.

Make sure to save the Include Words in Title and Search Query settings by clicking the ✔ (tick) icon next to the settings.

NOT a foolproof solution

This profile is not a foolproof solution to download only Spanish trailers, as it relies on:

  • Language field in Radarr/Sonarr to be set correctly. If the language is not set to Spanish, this profile will not match.
  • The Include Words in Title setting to match the title of the trailer. If the trailer does not have the word Español in its title, it will not be downloaded.
  • The Search Query setting to return Spanish trailers. If search results does not contain any Spanish trailers, OR if there are no Spanish trailers available, this profile will not download any trailers.

Example 4: "Missing 1080p Trailer" View Filter

v0.11.3

This example is a view filter, not a profile — it changes what the library pages show, and downloads nothing. It uses the Download Filters family to find media whose best trailer is below 1080p, so you can review and re-download them.

  • Open the Filters dropdown on the Home, Movies, or Series page and click Add New Filter.
  • Name the filter Below 1080p.

  • Set the below Filters:

    ID Filter By Condition Filter Value
    1 Has Downloads Equals true
    2 Download Resolution Less Than 1080

  • Click Create. The view now lists every media item that has a trailer, where at least one downloaded trailer is below 1080p.

Two more quick recipes with the same fields:

  • Deleted trailer files: Download File Missing Equals true — download records whose file was deleted from disk.
  • Owned by one profile: Download Profile Equals + pick a profile — media whose downloads came from that profile.
