Use Plex as source for availability instead of Sonarr/Radarr?

[burkasaurusrex]

It seems like Pulsarr uses Sonarr or Radarr as the source for whether or not some content is available? Is there a way to set Plex or Tautulli as the source for availability? My Sonarr DB was getting out of control so I started deleting completed series.

Pulsarr uses Plex.

If you can watchlist it, it's available.

Sometimes they get out of sync and plex will have ids that'd sonarr radarr do not.

It then attempts to add it. You can set the release availability within sonarr and radarr additions from pulsarr.

Is that what you're asking about?

I think I’m asking a slightly different question. Pulsarr added a lot of shows from my users watchlists that were already on Plex but not in Sonarr. Seems like the default on if something is available or not is whether or not it is in Sonarr?

That's correct. The whole workflow is mirroring the arrs with watchlists.

Anything in the content router takes priority though. So if you have multiple instances, and something is only supposed to be in instance A, it won't go to B.

The delete sync also works the same. When things disspear from watchlists, they will get removed.

There's a couple more features related to content tracking in the next release too.

To circle back. I totally misread your question. Pulsarr uses the Arrs as the source of truth.

The reason being that many users have separate arrs instances running for different quality profiles, and for genres like anime. Tracking plex as the source would interfere with properly tracking content as it is distributed throughout the arrs.

It would be simple to implement, and upon rereading it understand what you meant, but thought I should clarify. Feel free to submit a feature request and I can mull over how to implement.
