Readarr Integration

You have two choices to integrate BookBounty with Readarr:

  1. Directly map /bookbounty/downloads to your main Readarr folder and configure selected_path_type=folder.
    This method will attempt to create the correct folder structure (/author/book/filename.ext, etc.) before downloading files directly into their respective folders.

  2. Alternatively, map /bookbounty/downloads to an _unprocessed folder and set selected_path_type=file. This method downloads all files into a single folder. After a library scan in Readarr, some files may remain unmapped and require manual import.
    After importing, you can use the "Rename Files" function in Readarr to organize the files into the correct folders.

For both methods, setting library_scan_on_completion=True automates the import process in Readarr.

Note: Readarr does not automatically rename files upon import.
