lumarr 0.4.0

CLI tool to sync Plex watchlist with Sonarr and Radarr

Lumarr

A lightweight CLI tool to automatically sync your Plex watchlist and Letterboxd lists with Sonarr and Radarr.

Overview

Lumarr monitors your Plex watchlist and Letterboxd activity, automatically adding movies and TV shows to your Sonarr and Radarr instances. It runs as a lightweight CLI tool with support for one-time syncs, scheduled runs, or continuous monitoring.

Key Features

• Plex Watchlist Sync - Automatically add watchlist items to Sonarr/Radarr
• Letterboxd Integration - Sync watched movies and watchlists from Letterboxd
• Smart Duplicate Prevention - Local database tracks synced items
• Multiple Sync Modes - One-time, scheduled, or continuous monitoring
• Interactive Configuration - Easy setup wizard for first-time configuration
• Rich CLI - Beautiful terminal output with detailed status information
• Docker Support - Run in a container for easy deployment

Quick Start

Installation

Using pip (Recommended):

pip install lumarr

Using Docker:

docker pull blueconfetti/lumarr:latest

From Source:

# Install uv
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Clone and install
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/lumarr.git
cd lumarr
uv pip install -e .

See Installation Guide for more installation options.

Configuration

1. Create config file:

   cp config.example.yaml config.yaml
   

2. Run interactive wizard:

   lumarr config
   

3. Or manually edit config.yaml with your API keys and settings

See Configuration Guide for detailed configuration options.

Usage

# Test connections
lumarr status

# Preview sync (dry run)
lumarr sync --dry-run

# Sync once
lumarr sync

# Continuous monitoring (recommended)
lumarr sync --follow

See CLI Reference for all available commands.

How It Works

1. Connects to Plex (via API or RSS feed) to fetch your watchlist
2. Optionally fetches Letterboxd watched movies and watchlists
3. Extracts TMDB, TVDB, and IMDB IDs from metadata
4. Checks local database to skip already-synced items
5. Adds new movies to Radarr and TV shows to Sonarr
6. Records sync history to prevent duplicates

Performance:

• RSS Feed mode: 1 HTTP request for entire watchlist
• API mode with caching: ~1-2 requests per sync
• Follow mode: Continuous monitoring with configurable intervals
