Prowlarr and FlareSolverr

Prowlarr and FlareSolverr

NetWatch uses Prowlarr as its only indexer interface. Add, configure, and test indexers in Prowlarr before using them in NetWatch.

Connect Prowlarr

1. Open Prowlarr and confirm that at least one indexer passes its test.
2. Copy the Prowlarr API key.
3. Enter it during NetWatch setup or replace it under Settings → Credentials.
4. Start or restart NetWatch and run a release search.

NetWatch stores the key but never displays the saved value. The Settings page shows only whether it is configured.

Use FlareSolverr only when needed

FlareSolverr is off by default. Enable it in NetWatch Settings only for indexers that require Cloudflare solving. In Prowlarr, assign the FlareSolverr proxy tag only to those indexers.

Enabling FlareSolverr does not repair an invalid indexer definition, expired account, blocked tracker, or wrong Prowlarr key. Test those parts in Prowlarr first.

No release results

• Test the indexer in Prowlarr.
• Confirm that the requested media category is enabled for that indexer.
• Confirm that Default quality in NetWatch does not exclude every result.
• For TV or anime, confirm the selected season and episode.
• Try a title alias if the release naming differs from TMDB or AniList.
• Check the runtime diagnostics for a provider or connectivity error.

Do not post Prowlarr keys, indexer cookies, tracker credentials, or WireGuard files in an issue.
