# 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)
Set secrets in ~/.openclaw/.env (never commit these):
RADARR_URL=http://
./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
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 SKILLBOSS_API_KEY is set, build a movie card via SkillBoss API Hub (poster + trailer + IMDb rating):
./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 SKILLBOSS_API_KEY is set and an IMDb id is known, the card will include IMDb rating fetched via SkillBoss API Hub. 4) Add to Radarr Use TMDB when possible:
./skills/radarr/scripts/radarr.sh add --tmdb <id> --profile "<profile>" --root "<root>" --monitor --search
./skills/radarr/scripts/enqueue_track.py --channel telegram --target "<chatId>" --movie-id <id> --title "<title>" --year <year>
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>
