RadaRec

RadaRec is a lightweight web GUI for discovering movies related to items already managed in a Radarr instance. It queries TMDB to find similar titles for selected Radarr movies and can optionally add chosen recommendations back into Radarr for download and management.

Key Features

• Integrates with Radarr via its API to read the existing movie library and add new titles
• Uses The Movie Database (TMDB) to fetch similar-movie recommendations and metadata
• Configurable filters: minimum rating, minimum vote count, language, quality/profile settings
• Can run as a containerized service and configured via environment variables
• Option to auto-start scans, set API timeouts, and perform dry-run additions to Radarr
• Simple web-based UI for selecting source movies and reviewing recommended titles

Use Cases

• Discover movies similar to entries already in a Radarr-managed collection
• Curate and bulk-add recommended movies into Radarr with configurable quality and metadata profiles
• Build a watchlist of suggested titles filtered by rating, votes, and language

Limitations and Considerations

• Recommendation quality depends on TMDB matching and may require manual review when TMDB returns ambiguous results
• Requires a working Radarr instance and valid TMDB API key for full functionality
• Not designed as a standalone media server; it operates as a companion tool to Radarr

RadaRec is aimed at users who maintain a Radarr library and want an easy way to explore and import similar movies using TMDB metadata. It emphasizes simple configuration and containerized deployment for home or small server environments.
