By released I mean when the movie becomes available as a WEB-RIP, WEB-DL or a BluRay rip. I don’t wanna set up Radarr because I am not that invested in movies. But there are some movies that I would like to watch. So being able to come to know when a movie is available in good quality would be nice.
I actually have Radarr installed but I only use it to get metadata. Radarr knows when a “not available” vs. when it is “missing”. I am thinking of leveraging that to write a script that runs once a day and notify me about change from “not available” to “missing” using ntfy.
You’re basically asking Radarr to do something it already does.
You say you “don’t want to set up Radarr”, but you already have Radarr installed and running for metadata. Radarr has:
• a built-in calendar showing upcoming releases
• quality profiles that let you define exactly what counts as a “good” WEB-DL/WEB-Rip/BDRip
• native notifications, webhooks, and external services like ntfy
• the ability to automatically grab the movie the second your preferred quality becomes available
If all you want is “tell me when this movie is available in proper quality”, Radarr already tracks that state change internally. You don’t need a custom script. Just enable notifications or a webhook and let Radarr tell you when the movie switches from “unavailable” to “downloadable” in your chosen profile.
You’re already using the exact tool designed for the job. No need to reinvent it.
Where’s the webhook option? I have ntfy integration enabled but there’s no option to notify about this specific state change (aa far as I can tell). I don’t wanna set up grabbing because it messes with directory structure I have for my media.
