Blocking releasegroups from Sonarr/Radarr

  Check out Cleanuparr! I started using it after seeing it recommended somewhere on Lemmy and haven’t seen these annoying downloads since. It also deals with stalled/slow/stuck downloading metadata torrents.

    I’m taking a look at this. It looks like it’s the malware blocker portion that I’m interested in, but if I enable it and ‘delete known malware’, it just complains every minute that there are no blocklists enabled. (though the documents say it’s supposed to fetch one from a pages.dev url that has almost no content)

    Do you have a specific malware blocklist configured? Enabling the specific service blocklists demands a url for one.

    I can host/build a list over time for these to use if that’s what I’ve gotta do; just wondering if there’s a public collaboration on one already on the go.

  SuccessfulCrab is a legitimate scene group and ELiTE appears to be some sort of P2P x265-1080p transcode bot/group (their releases on IPT/TL look fine and go back quite a ways). I'd stop using whatever you're indexing from that's either serving you malware or failing to regulate the malware in its users' uploads. The real problem is that someone is mimicking these groups and putting out fake releases, so playing whackamole with the fake tags that that person is using is only treating the symptoms, and they can easily change the tag again.

    A lot of people don’t like the scene releases. They’re usually of lower quality compared to the best of what’s available. If you use the Scene custom format from TRaSH guides, it filters out the LQ scene groups like SucessfulCrab.

  I think in quality profiles you can set up blockwords. I did that to block Dolby vision “DoVi” releases as I couldn’t get them to play reliably.

    Ok, I think I’ve got this right?

    Settings > Profiles > Release Profiles.

    Created one, setup ‘must not contain’ words, indexer ‘any’, enabled.

    That should just apply globally? I’m not seeing anywhere else I’ve got to enable it in specific series, clients, or indexers.

      Yes.

      Keep in mind it doesn’t apply to file extensions. I forget if there’s a feature request outstanding or if it was rejected.

      I think if you didn’t assign a tag on the Release Profile it applies to all series.

    • cybervseas@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I think that’s right. Maybe the release profile needs to be applied to the quality? I’ll see if I can open my configs up and find where it applies.

      This is how i do it and it’s very successful. I have a group block list and terms blocklist. Just a nice baseline too have before you set up your regular quality profiles.

      Mh, I thought there was a way to do this with tags but this is probably it

  The .scr and .lnk is more an issue with the trackers you’re using and not with those release groups, but to answer your question: create a custom format that looks for those groups in the release group field and then score them like -10000 in your quality profile.

  Sonarr also has a new setting in to fail dangerous downloads like those so they won’t stay in your activity queue, it’s in the indexer settings.

    You can also approach this by blocking file types at the download client.

    source

    • Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      That’s what I’d already done as per the OP, but it leaves Sonarr/Radarr wanting manual intervention for the ‘complete’ download that doesn’t have any files to import.

    This comment prompted me to look a little deeper at this. I looked at the history for each show where I’ve had failed downloads from those groups.

    For SuccessfulCrab; any time a release has come from a torrent tracker (I only have free public torrent trackers) it’s been garbage. I have however had a number of perfectly fine downloads with that group label, whenever retrieved from NZBgeek. I’ve narrowed that filter to block the string ‘SuccessfulCrab’ on all torrent trackers, but allow NBZs. Perhaps there’s an impersonator trying to smear them or something, idk.

    ELiTE on the other hand, I’ve only got history of grabbing their torrents and every one of them was trash. That’s going to stay blocked everywhere.

    ---

    The block potentially dangerous setting is interesting, but what exactly is it looking for? The torrent client is already set to not download file types I don’t want, so will it recognize and remove torrents that are empty? (everything’s marked ‘do not download’) I’m having a hard time finding documentation for that.

      The fail dangerous doesn’t work if you block it in the torrent client, so you’d have to actually download it but then sonarr would mark it as failed and not get stopped from downloading new items for that show. Neither option is perfect.

      See if you’re getting these bad torrent moreso from one particular tracker and then rethink about using that tracker.

      Best option is trying to get into some private trackers, pretty easy looking for open signups on lemmy or the dreaded reddit.

  The TRaSH Guides should block those. They have SuccessfulCrab in one of the Scene formats. IDK about ELiTE, but you could add them into the format as well to filter them.

    How come?

    • adhocfungus@midwest.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I’ve never had a download tagged as SuccessfulCrab that wasn’t malware. I don’t know enough about them to know if that’s their fault or the indexers’.

  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.

  Take a look at Profilarr. You can set fine custom conditions to block anything you want.

  The one release group I always struggle with Sonarr over is “MeM.GP”, they re-release other people’s content as dual language ITA/ENG with Italian being forced default. Even blocking them as a release group in a custom format messes up, because Sonarr doesn’t parse the release group correctly with how they name their releases, so it’ll still snatch it and then complain on import. Arseholes.

    You can do a custom format again the release title

  I have Recyclarr setup to dynamically update and one thing it does is keep a current bad release group.
