Local media

Not every movie, show or album is added to Radarr, Sonarr or Lidarr. Rexarr scans the local folder of every path mapping (and any folders added in Settings → Connections → Local media) in the background and indexes what the apps do not manage:

• Movies: Title (Year)/… folders or loose Title.Year.2160p.Remux….mkv files, with quality from the name
• Series / anime: Show/Season 01/…S01E05…, 1x05, or [Group] Show - 05 absolute numbering
• Albums: audio grouped per folder — Artist/Album (Year)/01 - Track.flac, Artist - Album, CD1 / CD2

Folder names such as Movies, TV Shows, Anime, Anime Movies and Music are used as hints (or set a folder's kind explicitly). Titles whose folder belongs to an *arr app are hidden, samples / extras / NAS recycle bins / game libraries are skipped, and posters (poster.jpg, folder.jpg, cover.jpg) are shown when present.

Search — the header popup and the Search page — lists matches under On Disk, Not in *arr. A title's page lists its files, encodes them with any profile, or looks the title up to add it to Radarr / Sonarr / Lidarr.

The index lives in data/local-media.json and refreshes every 12 hours (configurable), when you save new folders, or with Rescan. Metadata matches titles that have no metadata yet against TMDB / TVDB through the *arr apps.
