I’m trying to find a simple way to keep track of movie releases that I’m interested in. Is there an app or website where I can just type in the movie name and get notified when it’s available?
I’ve seen some posts mentioning setting up RSS feeds, but that seems a bit complicated for what I need. Ideally, I want something where I can just hit “get notified” and then receive an email or notification when the movie is released.
Any recommendations? Thanks!
(Not just when they are released in cinema but as 1080 or 4k)
Why not just setup radarr? This will also automatically download the movie for you as soon as your desired quality hits your preferred trackers. It’s like a 15min procedure to get it running and then you can just search directly from radarr and add things from there, and it will just monitor for you.
+1 for Radarr, it does everything you want plus so much more, highly recommend you try it out, one of the best tools to self host if you enjoy movies.
When I’ve looked into it I never saw a way to set it up to filter for quality beyond what’s in the torrent name, which more often than not doesn’t specify hdr type, audio, etc - certainly not bitrate.
It probably depends on the tracker and release group/uploader what they include in the torrent name, but yeah generally that’s what you can filter by. Otherwise it requires access to the media-file to determine these things. I would say though, that good trackers have reliable information in the torrent names themselves, usually audio-tracks (sometimes just “multi” though), codec, and resolution. I only use private trackers now though, and I have not had issues with unexpected low quality video since moving away from public trackers.
I believe you can filter by tags too. These are tracker specific though, so it’s up to the trackers you’re using to define what you can filter with tags I think.
Ah yeah, I don’t have access to any private trackers for movies or TV so I’m stuck with the public releases
I’m pretty sure you can define the filter by bitrate as in dimension/minute of the file, this allow for a filter that’s unrelated to the filename.
Of course if you are into stuff like HDR type you can’t reasonably expect it to be tied to a webrip or anything below Blueray.
You can also do a manual search from within radarr and look at the files yourself.
Yeah I know I can search within radarr but at that point why have it
This. Any open website with the notification service described in OP is a potential anti-piracy honeypot. And if setting up RSS feeds is too complex, how is it any more so to wait for a ping and then manually download the film?
I’m rarely at a PC when I want to add a movie. I dont normally DL content either. Just stream via Stremio and Premiumize.
Is there ao mobile option thst doesn’t require VPN and Remote PC?
Set up Jellyseer as well. It’s a great interface for movies and TV.
Radar has an API, and there are mobile clients that allow you to add movies for download. I use LunaSea, it works with Radar and Sonarr, among others. Then I use Jellyfin to stream it to my phone, wherever I might happen to be.
