User Tagging

Pulsarr's User Tagging feature organizes your media by automatically adding user tags to content in Sonarr and Radarr, making it easy to track which users requested which content.

Key Features​

  • Automatic User Tracking: Tags movies and shows with the usernames of people who added them to their watchlists
  • Multi-Instance Support: Works across all your Sonarr and Radarr instances simultaneously
  • Customizable Prefix: Configure your own prefix for user tags (default: "pulsarr:user")
  • Enhanced Tag Management: Flexible tag removal options when content leaves watchlists
  • Tag-Based Deletion: Option to use tags for content deletion instead of watchlist status
  • Batch Processing: Efficiently processes large libraries with minimal performance impact

Usage Benefits​

  • Content Organization: Easily identify who requested specific content
  • User-Based Filtering: Create custom filters in Sonarr/Radarr based on user tags
  • Accountability: Track which users are driving your media library growth
  • Lifecycle Management: Use tags to manage content from request to removal
  • Management: Quickly find all content requested by specific users
  • Integration: Works seamlessly with Sonarr and Radarr's existing tag system

Configuration​

  1. Navigate to the Utilities section in the Pulsarr web interface
  2. Find the User Tagging section
  3. Configure options including:
    • Enable/disable tagging for Sonarr and Radarr
    • Set a custom tag prefix
    • Choose whether to preserve historical tags
    • Enable/disable cleanup of orphaned tags
  4. Save your changes to apply the settings
  5. Click "Sync Tags Now" to immediately apply tags to all content

Enhanced Tag Management​

When content is removed from a user's watchlist, you have multiple options for handling the associated tags:

  • Keep: Preserve tags for historical tracking even after content is removed from watchlists
  • Remove: Delete tags when content is removed from watchlists
  • Prefix: Add a customizable prefix (e.g., "removed:") to existing tags when content is removed from watchlists

These tag management options work seamlessly with Delete Sync's tag-based deletion mode, allowing you to:

  • Identify content for deletion based on tag status rather than watchlist presence
  • Maintain historical records of who requested content
  • Create custom workflows based on tag lifecycle

Advanced Settings​

  • Tag Prefix: Customize the prefix used for all user tags (default: "pulsarr:user")
  • Tag Removal Options: Configure how tags are handled when content is removed from watchlists
  • Customizable Removal Prefix: Define your own prefix for removed content tags
  • Tag-Based Deletion: Enable tags to identify content for deletion instead of watchlist status
  • Preserve Historical Tags: When enabled, keeps tags even after content is removed from a user's watchlist
  • Clean Up Orphaned Tags: Automatically removes tags for deleted users
  • Manual Tag Removal: Option to remove all user tags if needed

Integration with Delete Sync​

User Tagging works seamlessly with Delete Sync's tag-based deletion mode:

  • Configure tags to be added, modified, or removed based on watchlist changes
  • Use tag status to determine when content should be deleted
  • Protect content with specific tags from deletion
  • Create complex deletion workflows based on tag lifecycle
