How to get notified when a movie gets "released"? (lemmygrad.ml)

By released I mean when the movie becomes available as a WEB-RIP, WEB-DL or a BluRay rip. I don't wanna set up Radarr because I am not that invested in movies. But there are some movies that I would like to watch. So being able to come to know when a movie is available in good quality would be nice.

I actually have Radarr installed but I only use it to get metadata. Radarr knows when a "not available" vs. when it is "missing". I am thinking of leveraging that to write a script that runs once a day and notify me about change from "not available" to "missing" using ntfy.

Just read the docs or browse the settings. I'm sure you can find it :)

Yeah but it doesn't support webhooking or notifying for what I want to be notified about.

Ah, now I see what you’re after. Radarr itself doesn’t send a notification just because a movie goes from “not available” to “missing.” To get that alert, you’ll need a workaround.

You could indeed write a simple script that checks Radarr’s API daily and shoots you a notification via ntfy if the status flips to “missing.” Or, if you’d rather not code, you could use something like Prowlarr to watch tracker RSS feeds and alert you when a matching release pops up.

The easiest way without extra tools? Just enable Radarr’s “Download” notifications. When a movie hits “missing,” Radarr will try to grab it and notify you of the attempt. If you don’t want it to actually download, you can disable the download client but then you’ll miss the notification too.

So yeah, no perfect built-in solution, but those are your best bets.
