Lidarr Integration

When you have configured the Lidarr integration, you can automatically send missing albums to Lidarr for download.

Lidarr synchronizes albums, not songs. A playlist can easily contain songs from 50+ albums. This feature will cause many albums to be downloaded by Lidarr.

Prerequisites

  1. A running Lidarr instance
  2. Lidarr API Key (Settings → General → Security → API Key)

Configuration

Step 1: Add Environment Variable 

-e LIDARR_API_KEY=YOUR_LIDARR_API_KEY

Step 2: Configure in App
