Lidarr

Add music (artists and albums) to your Lidarr library.

Setup

Create ~/.clawdbot/credentials/lidarr/config.json:

{
  "url": "http://192.168.1.50:8686",
  "apiKey": "efbd6c29db184911a7b0f4707ae8f10f",
  "defaultQualityProfile": 2,
  "defaultMetadataProfile": 7
}
  • defaultQualityProfile: Quality profile ID (FLAC, MP3, etc. — run config to see options)
  • defaultMetadataProfile: Metadata profile ID (albums only, discography, etc. — run config to see options)

Quality Profiles

Typically you'll want FLAC:

  • Lossless (FLAC)
  • Lossless 24bit (FLAC 24-bit)

Metadata Profiles

  • Albums only (recommended) — just studio albums
  • Standard — albums + some extras
  • Discography / Everything — all releases

Workflow

1. Search for an artist

bash scripts/lidarr.sh search "Artist Name"

Returns numbered list with MusicBrainz links.

2. Check if artist exists

bash scripts/lidarr.sh exists <foreignArtistId>

3. Add artist

bash scripts/lidarr.sh add <foreignArtistId>

If artist already exists, this will monitor them instead of failing.

Options:

  • --discography — add full discography instead of albums only
  • --no-search — don't search immediately

4. List albums for an artist

bash scripts/lidarr.sh list-artist-albums <artistId>

Shows all albums with their IDs and monitored status.

5. Monitor specific albums

bash scripts/lidarr.sh monitor-album <albumId>

Monitor and optionally search for a specific album.

Options:

  • --no-search — monitor but don't search yet
