In this Ubuntu Setup Sonarr with SABnzbd for download. We’re going to configure Sonarr like this. That TV series are downloaded, from the newsgroups with SABnzbd.

Profiles
Now go to the Tablad profiles.
Click on a section that you want to use.
And customize these to your own preference. Above is my preference. It’s best to leave the language on English. Unless a TV series is also available in your own language. But the chance is very small. That that series is found. This is because Dutch-language series, very little are uploaded to the newsgroups. And if they are present in the newsgroups. Then often, the scene rules are not followed.
By hovering over the three indents. Can you adjust the order. From what Sonarr is trying to download first.
At Cutoff,you indicate when Sonarr should stop looking.
When you’re done. Click Save.
Quality
Now we go to the Tablad Quality. By default, the Minuim Quality is 0. You can best adjust this. So that some rubbish is filtered. Beware! If you watch Animation series. Do not set this option too low. Because these kinds of TV series are usually much smaller.
Beware! As you can see you have to use the Adjust title. To keep them as close to a scene name as possible. Of the dashes make a point and 1080p and 720p must be at the front.
Zo as na example “720p.HDTV”.
Indexers
Now we go to the tab indexers. These are sites whose NZB files are downloaded automatically. The more you add, the more likely your TV series will be downloaded.
See also Newznabprovider for an overview of Newznab sites. Create an account with some of these Newznab providers.
If you did. You press it plus .
Then press Costumat Neznab.
You’ll see the above. Enter the details of the Newznab site.
The API key can almost always be found in your account settings on the NewzNab site.
If you have done that, first do a Test and then Save . Now add all your Newznab sites in this way.
You can best leave some sites. If you also have other programs like CouchPotato for example. So you your API hits are divided. If you have an account with a paid Newznab site, it often doesn’t matter.
Then you usually have enough API requests.
If you have added all your NewzNab sites. You also need too activate the below Newznab provider.
You do this in the same way. You do not need an account for this.

Now we scroll down a bit. And here you see Options.
Minimum Age to 5.
Retention Here you enter the retention of your Usenet provider. This ensures that no API requests are wasted, which your Usenet provider cannot download anyway.
RSS Sync Interval Set it to 20 or more. But not too much else it can already be gone thanks to DMCA. But certainly no less. Otherwise, your API requests will also go up very quickly.
You will see restrictions. Click on that Plus, and add to the field Must not contain x265 If your media Player cannot handle it. Most media players can only handle x264.
I also added ACC 2.0 because I want to have at least 5.1 sound.
