Do you have problems with Radarr not snatching new Blu-Ray releases? Then you probably have left the default minimum availability settings on. Read this page for more information.

What is minimum availability?

Minimum availability is a setting per movie to prevent Radarr from downloading fakes. It tells Radarr when to start considering movies as "available" and thus start snatching them from indexers, if they pop up on your RSS feeds. There are a multitude of options available to set it to (can be edited when editing a movie or in movie editor for mass changing):

  • Announced: Radarr shall consider movies available as soon as they are added to Radarr. This setting is recommended if you have good private trackers (or really good public ones, e.g. rarbg.to) that do not have fakes.
  • InCinemas: Radarr shall consider movies available as soon as movies they hit cinemas. This option is not recommended.
  • Physical / Web: Radarr shall consider movies available as soon as the Blu-ray is released. This option is recommended if your indexers contain fakes often.
  • PreDB: Originally this setting would monitor predb.me for scene releases of that movie. However, predb.me blocks Radarr now and this setting is now the exact same as Physical / Web and thus not recommended.

Additional recommendations

If you use Physical / Web as minimum availability, it is advisable to set a minimum availability delay under Settings -> Indexers. The days specified in here (can be negative too) are added to the Physical release dates of movies to check whether a movie is considered available. It is advisable to set it to something between -14 and -28 days, since Blu-rays often leak and thus are available much earlier than the date they actually appear in stores.

An example to illustrate the concept:

Movie Night of the Living Dead has Minimum Availability of Physical / Web. Physical Release date of Night of the Living Dead would be 28th of July 2017. However, a minimum availability delay of -21 days is set. Thus Radarr will start snatching Night of the Living Dead from the RSS feeds starting 7th of July 2017.
