SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Finding and downloading a film or TV episode normally means juggling indexer sites, comparing releases, and manually adding torrents to a client. This Skill turns that into a single guided workflow: search every configured indexer through the prowlarr MCP server, pick the right release, and start the download through the qbt MCP server. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Cross-indexer search: Query every configured indexer at once with title, kind (movie/tv/anime), season, episode, and year filters, with parsed results showing resolution, source, seeders, size, and cam flags. - Guided release selection: Rules for choosing between 1080p, 2160p, remux, and web releases based on seeders, size, and quality, with automatic film-vs-TV library routing on download. - Download lifecycle management: Start downloads from verified magnet links, confirm they actually began, monitor progress, and cancel stalled or dead releases. - Use Case: Someone asks "get me season 3 of Some Show in 1080p". You search with kind=tv season=3, present the top three releases, and on confirmation pass the chosen magnet to download, which files it into the TV library automatically. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to find and download a specific movie or episode, for example: "Find a 1080p copy of the 2019 film Some Title and start downloading it."

Frequently Asked Questions about media-acquisition

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search for a movie or TV show across multiple torrent indexers?▼

Call the Prowlarr MCP server's search tool with just the title, plus kind (movie, tv, or anime) and optional year, season, or episode filters. Prowlarr queries every configured indexer at once and returns parsed results with resolution, seeders, and size.

How do I start a torrent download in qBittorrent from a search result?▼

Pass the chosen result's magnet field verbatim to the qbt server's download tool. It detects film versus television from the release name to pick the library, then reads the torrent back and reports a confirmed field telling you whether it actually started.

Why does a Prowlarr search return no results?▼

Retry once with kind=any since category filters can miss, then try an alternative title such as the original-language name. If still empty, run prowlarr_status; a failing indexer cannot be fixed by rephrasing the query.

What should I do when a torrent is stuck at 0 percent?▼

A torrent at 0% in stalledDL state has found no seeders and will not finish on its own. Report it plainly, offer the next release from the search results, and use download_cancel on the dead one rather than leaving it queued.

Can I search an indexer directly in a browser instead of Prowlarr?▼

No. Indexer bot checks cannot be solved through a browser, and Prowlarr already handles them with a configured solver. All searching must go through the prowlarr MCP server tools; there is no browser or API workaround.
