French-Dubbed Releases Blocked
Releases tagged MULTi with a French dub (VFF, VFQ, VFi, VF2, TRUEFRENCH) and no English track are no longer grabbed while English is the preferred language.
Plex Optimization Automation
Stop hoarding bloated releases.
Let Slimarr slim your library overnight.
Slimarr scans your Plex library, finds smaller Usenet releases, and safely replaces media while you sleep. Storage-safe automation, self-healing replacement logic, and a live operations dashboard — all wrapped in a UI built to feel like a native member of the *arr family.
- Docker-first
- NAS-safe
- Self-healing replacements
- Real-time UI
What Is New In v2.1.0.0
Fixes for real-world library problems found in a live install, a dependency security pass, and a cleaner settings page.
Failed Releases Stay Failed
A release that fails in SABnzbd is now blacklisted and skipped by the next cycle, instead of being re-queued every night.
Streaming Availability Refresh
Recommendation availability is refreshed daily at 12:30 when recommendations are enabled with a region set, so the health view no longer sticks on a stale cache.
Security Upgrades
FastAPI, PyJWT and python-socketio were upgraded to clear open container-scan alerts. Unused dependencies were removed.

Install Slimarr
Choose the path that matches where you run your media stack.
Docker / Linux

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theantipopau/slimarr/main/.env.example -o .env
docker compose up -dWindows
Download the latest SlimarrSetup-2.1.0.0.exe from GitHub Releases. The installer bundles Python and dependencies, starts the tray app, then opens Slimarr at localhost:9494.
What Slimarr Does
Nightly Replacement Cycles
Runs scheduled scans and replacements with strict size-reduction rules so your library keeps shrinking.
Usenet + *arr Friendly
Works with SABnzbd and NZBGet, plus Prowlarr/Newznab indexers and optional Sonarr/Radarr connections.
Safety-First Logic
Prioritizes smaller files, protects against risky quality downgrades, and can use a recycling folder as a rollback-friendly safety net.
Realtime Web UI
See queue progress, scan state, replacement savings, search diagnostics, and system health from one dashboard.
