Sonarr 4K

A frequently asked question we get from customers is if we have support for Sonarr 4K. At the time of writing, we don't officially support it, but it can be installed using a script a community member has written.

Sonarr is a PVR for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new episodes of your favorite shows and will grab, sort and rename them. It can also be configured to automatically upgrade the quality of files already downloaded when a better quality format becomes available.

To follow this guide, you will need to SSH into your server. If you need help with this, please refer to the how do I connect article.
