MediaManager Help

Usage

If you are coming from Radarr or Sonarr you will find that MediaManager does things a bit differently. Instead of completely automatically downloading and managing your media, MediaManager focuses on providing an easy-to-use interface to guide you through the process of finding and downloading media. Advanced features like multiple qualities of a show/movie necessitate such a paradigm shift. So here is a quick step-by-step guide to get you started:

Downloading/Requesting a show

  1. Add a show on the "Add Show" page

  2. After adding the show you will be redirected to the show's page.

  3. There you can click the "Request Season" button.

  4. Select one or more seasons that you want to download

  5. Then select the "Min Quality", this will be the minimum resolution of the content to download.

  6. Then select the "Wanted Quality", this will be the maximum resolution of the content to download.

  7. Finally click Submit request, though this is not the last step!

  8. An administrator first has to approve your request for download, only then will the requested content be downloaded.

Congratulation! You've downloaded a show.
