I’ve been a Readarr user with two instances(ebooks, and audiobooks) for a long time now. But more and more often, files get unlinked in the database making it less and less useful as a way to track what books I have vs “wanted,” which is my main use case.
I’ve been trying to convert to LazyLibrarian, but boy people weren’t exaggerating when they said the configuration is unclear. Unfortunately the docs do not clear it up. Interesting I’m what y’all are doing!


I looked into it briefly: They have a comparison of different forks on their GitHub, it looks like when they ran the comparison, chaptarr did pretty poorly.
They also claim chaptarr is vibe coded, which carries it’s own baggage.

I hadn’t seen this analysis. Thanks for sharing!
