SonaShow

SonaShow is a web GUI that discovers and recommends TV shows similar to those managed in Sonarr, using metadata from TMDB and optional TVDB lookups. It integrates with Sonarr's API to present recommendations and can optionally add selected shows back into Sonarr.

Key Features

• Integrates with Sonarr via its API to read managed shows and add recommendations
• Uses TMDB metadata to find similar shows and fallback matching logic for lookups
• Configurable filters: minimum rating, minimum votes, language, quality/profile IDs, and search timeouts
• Docker and docker-compose friendly with environment-variable configuration and persistent config volume support
• Options for auto-start discovery, auto-start delay, dry-run mode, and searching for missing episodes when adding shows
• Lightweight web interface for browsing, filtering, and selecting recommendations

Use Cases

• Discover new TV series to add to a Sonarr-managed library based on shows you already track
• Curate recommendations that meet quality and popularity thresholds before adding to Sonarr
• Automate adding missing shows or episodes to Sonarr after reviewing TMDB-based suggestions

Limitations and Considerations

• Requires a running Sonarr instance and valid API keys for Sonarr and TMDB (TVDB API optional); functionality depends on those services
• Recommendation accuracy is dependent on TMDB metadata and matching heuristics; incorrect or missing metadata can produce poor matches
• Focused on TV show discovery for Sonarr; not a general-purpose recommendation engine or personalized ML system

SonaShow is a practical tool for Sonarr users who want an easy way to discover similar TV series and manage additions from a single web interface. It is configurable via environment variables and aims to be simple to deploy with Docker.
