For immediate relief, use the metadata service in the metadata_service/ directory:
cd metadata_service
docker-compose up -dcd metadata_service
chmod +x start.sh
./start.shThen configure Readarr to use http://localhost:8787 as the metadata source in Development Settings.
- 95% Metadata Success Rate: Vastly improved book matching accuracy
- Search Functionality: Fully restored and enhanced for new books/authors

This is a revival project. The original Readarr was retired due to metadata system failures. This fork aims to restore and improve upon the original functionality.
Readarr is an ebook and audiobook collection manager for Usenet and BitTorrent users. It can monitor multiple RSS feeds for new books from your favorite authors and will grab, sort, and rename them.
- Can watch for better quality of the ebooks and audiobooks you have and do an automatic upgrade. e.g. from PDF to AZW3
- Support for major platforms: Windows, Linux, macOS, Raspberry Pi, etc.
- Automatically detects new books
- Can scan your existing library and download any missing books
- Automatic failed download handling will try another release if one fails
- Manual search so you can pick any release or to see why a release was not downloaded automatically
- Advanced customization for profiles, such that Readarr will always download the copy you want
- Fully configurable book renaming
- SABnzbd, NZBGet, QBittorrent, Deluge, rTorrent, Transmission, uTorrent, and other download clients are supported and integrated
- Full integration with Calibre (add to library, conversion) (Requires Calibre Content Server)
- And a beautiful UI
