Boxarr

Boxarr is an automated box office tracking application that monitors weekly theatrical charts and integrates with Radarr to check, add, and manage trending movies in your media library. It provides a clean web dashboard showing current box office rankings and the status of titles in your Radarr instance.

Key Features

• Weekly box office tracking of top releases and automatic identification of trending movies
• Deep Radarr integration: checks existing library entries, adds movies, and can set quality profiles
• Auto-add rules with advanced filters (genre, rating, release year, etc.) to control which box office hits are added
• Genre-based root folder organization to place movies in appropriate folders
• Scheduled updates (weekly) and automation settings to run on a configurable schedule
• Responsive web UI for configuration, status, and manual management
• Lightweight REST API for integration and automation
• Docker and Docker Compose friendly; can run on Python 3.10+ environments
• Reverse proxy support and URL base configuration for running behind nginx/Traefik/Caddy

Use Cases

• Keep a home media server stocked with mainstream, high-demand theatrical releases without manual intervention
• Automatically add and organize newly popular films into Radarr using custom filters and quality profiles
• Complement request-based systems by focusing on commercially successful releases and historical box office tracking

Limitations and Considerations

• Relies on external box office data sources; outages or scraping changes may break updates
• Requires Radarr v3+ and network access between Boxarr and the Radarr instance
• Focuses on mainstream box office hits and may not track niche or indie releases
• Minimal user account management; designed for single-instance automation rather than multi-tenant deployments

Boxarr is a focused automation tool for media server maintainers who want to ensure their Radarr library includes current box office hits. It emphasizes simplicity, scheduled automation, and seamless Radarr integration to reduce manual upkeep.
