Supported Flags

Torrent Indexers sometimes have torrents that, while they contain the same video, have other attributes that differentiate them. In Radarr, these are called Indexer Flags and you can do some cool stuff with them. See the table below, for a list of available flags and what they signify.

Uses

Indexer Flags can be used for multiple things in Radarr. Under Settings -> Indexers, you can e.g. specify that all releases with any indexer flag is preferred. This is useful, if you occasionally want to download a golden popcorn release over a normal encode.

If you want more control over indexer flags, there are two other options:

1. Required Flags

In your indexer settings, you can specify, what exact flags are required, for a release to be downloaded for this indexer. This allows you to have a strict indexer only download freeleech torrents as an example. To require an indexer flag, look at the table below, take the flag name and put it in the corresponding field in your indexer's settings.

2. Custom Formats

Indexer Flags can be used as Format Tags in a Custom Format. Check out the Custom Formats Wikipage for more information.
