Combined view

Only titles already accepted into Radarr or Sonarr are grouped by release date.

Operational schedule

Discovery candidates stay out. This is a clean calendar for media you already chose to track.

Media Finder

Resolve rough clues into the right title

Paste a half-remembered title, a trailer URL, or a poster. Scout will build a candidate queue and keep the final add pointed at Sonarr or Radarr.

Movie Gaps

Missing movies from collections you already started

Scout looks at movies already on your server, detects the TMDb collections they belong to, and surfaces the missing entries so unfinished franchises stand out immediately.

How these are ranked

Collection progress

Movies rise when you already own more of that franchise on your server.

Freshness

Upcoming or recent missing entries get a boost so active franchises surface earlier.

Summary

Watched signals

How it works

Recommendation effect

Stops repeats

Watched shows drop out of TV recommendations so Scout does not keep resurfacing them.

Still learns your taste

Watched genres stay as a positive signal, unlike hidden titles which count as a negative signal.

Blocklist

Hidden titles

Learning

What hides are doing

Behavior

Discovery impact

Immediate

Hidden titles drop out of discovery shelves and poster walls right away.

Preference signal

Hidden genres become a soft negative signal so the next shelves adapt faster.

Maintenance

Season cleanup candidates

History

Deleted seasons and old restores

Sonarr Control

Remove series from Sonarr

Deletes the Sonarr series, adds an import list exclusion, and asks Sonarr to delete the series folder/files. Use this only for shows you want gone everywhere.

Plex

Plex Lists

Scout manages Hannes watch-state playlists: Completed, Ongoing, Binge Watch, and Start watching.

The playlists sync on startup, when Plex sends episode webhooks, and when you run a manual sync.
