The problem it solves

Keeping a media library complete means constantly checking for missing episodes and manually searching for the right version. Without oversight, you end up with mismatched quality or wrong-language downloads cluttering your library.

Who it fits

A media library manager or archive that needs episodes to arrive in a specific quality and language automatically.

How it works

  1. On a regular schedule, the system checks your library for missing episodes
  2. It groups the missing episodes by season so it only searches once per season
  3. It searches for available releases and checks them against your quality and language rules
  4. When a match is found, it automatically starts the download
What you get

Missing episodes that fill themselves in overnight

You get missing episodes found and downloaded automatically in the exact quality and language you set.

What you get

A media library that fills in missing episodes automatically, in the quality and language you specify.

What you need

A Sonarr installation with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
