Radarr

Radarr+

Request movies from chat and have them added to Radarr (with progress updates back in the same chat).

What it looks like (example)

Here’s an example of the single-message poster card + caption users will receive when requesting a movie (poster attachment + trailer + rating):

Example message caption:

Shutter Island (2010)

⭐ IMDb: 8.2/10

🎬 Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdPw9x9h5CY

Added to Radarr ✅ (Ultra-HD, /movies). I’ll post progress + “imported ✅” here.

Setup (one-time)

1. Set secrets in ~/.openclaw/.env (never commit these):

• RADARR_URL=http://<host>:7878
• RADARR_API_KEY=...

Optional (recommended for fewer questions later):

• RADARR_DEFAULT_PROFILE=HD-1080p
• RADARR_DEFAULT_ROOT=/data/media/movies

Optional (for the “rich” experience we’ll add next):

• TMDB_API_KEY=... (poster + trailer)
• OMDB_API_KEY=... (IMDb rating)
• PLEX_URL=http://<plex-host>:32400
• PLEX_TOKEN=...

2. Verify env + connectivity:

./skills/radarr/scripts/check_env.py
./skills/radarr/scripts/radarr.sh ping

If it fails, check:

• Radarr is reachable from the OpenClaw host
• API key is correct
• URL is correct (http vs https)

Common tasks

List available quality profiles

./skills/radarr/scripts/radarr.sh profiles

List configured root folders

./skills/radarr/scripts/radarr.sh roots

Lookup/search a movie

./skills/radarr/scripts/radarr.sh lookup --compact "inception"
./skills/radarr/scripts/radarr.sh lookup --compact "tmdb:603"

Add a movie (preferred: TMDB id)

./skills/radarr/scripts/radarr.sh add --tmdb 603 --profile "HD-1080p" --root "/data/media/movies" --monitor --search

Add a movie (by title; optionally prefer a year)

./skills/radarr/scripts/radarr.sh add --term "Dune" --year 2021 --profile "HD-1080p" --root "/data/media/movies" --monitor --search

Chat workflow (recommended)

When the user says “request/add ” (DM or group):

1) Lookup

Run:

• ./skills/radarr/scripts/radarr.sh lookup --compact "<movie>"

If there are multiple plausible matches, ask the user to choose (year or TMDB id).

2) Resolve missing config by prompting

Resolve defaults from env (and fetch prompt options when missing):

./skills/radarr/scripts/resolve_defaults.py

If defaults are missing, prompt the user to pick one of the returned options:

• options.profiles[]
• options.roots[]

(If defaults exist, use them silently.)

3) Optional rich “movie card” (add-ins)

If TMDB_API_KEY is set, build a movie card:

./skills/radarr/scripts/movie_card.py --tmdb <id>

• If the output includes posterUrl, you can download it and attach it:

./skills/radarr/scripts/fetch_asset.py --url "<posterUrl>" --out "./outbound/radarr/<tmdbId>.jpg"

If OMDB_API_KEY is set and an IMDb id is known, the card will include IMDb rating.

4) Add to Radarr

Use TMDB when possible:

./skills/radarr/scripts/radarr.sh add --tmdb <id> --profile "<profile>" --root "<root>" --monitor --search

5) Track progress + notify in the same chat (Radarr-only, polling)

This skill provides a file-based tracker queue:

1. Enqueue tracking for the same chat where the request came from (DM or group):

./skills/radarr/scripts/enqueue_track.py --channel telegram --target "<chatId>" --movie-id <id> --title "<title>" --year <year>

2. A periodic dispatcher should run:

./skills/radarr/scripts/poll_and_queue.py

This will create outbox items under ./state/radarr/outbox/ that your OpenClaw cron runner can send.

6) Plex link (optional add-in)

If Plex is configured, try to produce a Plex web URL:

./skills/radarr/scripts/plex_link.py --title "<title>" --year <year>
