Comment on Blocking releasegroups from Sonarr/Radarr

Honestly we should just start a list we maintain, and then ask Sonarr/Radarr to offer a feature to pull from a URL of our choosing periodically. That way we can curate the blocklists as a collective rather than this manual bullshit.

Check out Trash Guides.

I am familiar, thanks though

The functionality is in the apps. That’s why TRaSH guides work. You’re supposed to make your own custom formats before you use the Servarr apps. The TRaSH ones are just somebody else’s that were put together over years.
You’re not supposed to just use Sonarr/Radarr without customizing your filters first. It’s also not too hard to make your own, if you don’t want to use the TRaSH formats.

I appreciate the advice, but I’m not solely referring to the customization of filtering, of course it has the ability to do that, almost every comment in this thread is about that. The feature I am raising is about syncing community maintained txt blobs, Trash tells us exactly how to sync the guide with Sonarr/Radarr, but not without additional software or manual effort.
Trash may offer excellent filters, but they are incomplete, and do not promote community involvement. A URL pointed at a single source of truth inherently would, this is a popular approach with blocklists all over the web. If a user wants to modify the list, and has to post to a single moderated source, everyone benefits. But currently as a user you either setup syncing orchestration or you manually copy Trash. Neither of which lends itself toward keeping the community up to date.
If you are aware of a way to have Sonarr/Radarr pull directly from a single source of truth and update itself, that would be great though.
