Sonarr Missing Episodes Checker

This script checks for missing episodes in Sonarr for the past specified number of hours and triggers an automatic search for those episodes.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• requests library
• pytz library

You can install the required libraries using:

pip install requests pytz

Configuration

Update the following configuration variables in the script with your Sonarr URL and API key:

Configuration variables

SONARR_URL = 'http://localhost:8989'
SONARR_API_KEY = 'your_sonarr_api_key'
DEFAULT_HOURS = 48  # Default number of hours to look back

Usage

Run the script using Python, specifying the number of hours to look back. If no hours are specified, the script will default to 48 hours.

python check_missing_episodes.py --hours <number_of_hours>

Example:

python check_missing_episodes.py --hours 24

This will check for missing episodes in the past 24 hours and trigger a search for those episodes in Sonarr.

Script Details

The script fetches all monitored series and their episodes from Sonarr. It checks if each episode has aired in the specified time frame and whether it is missing (not downloaded). If an episode is missing, it triggers an automatic search for the episode in Sonarr using the Episode Search command.

Example Output

Missing episodes from the past 24 hours:
Series Title - S01E01 - Episode Title (Aired: 2024-07-19)
Search triggered for Series Title - S01E01 - Episode Title

If there are no missing episodes in the specified time frame, the script will output:

No missing episodes from the past 24 hours.
