EnglishWhat Is TRaSH Guides?
Updated
TRaSH Guides (trash-guides.info) is a community-maintained reference site for configuring Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, downloaders, and Plex. It is not a download or streaming service and does not host media. It is useful if you already run or are setting up a media server and want recommended settings for quality profiles, custom formats, naming schemes, folder structure, and hardlinks.
What the site covers
The site is organized around the tools in a typical media server stack:
| Area | Example topics |
|---|---|
| Radarr / Sonarr | Quality settings (file size), recommended naming scheme, quality profiles (including Anime, French, German), importing and updating custom formats, merging and ordering quality sources, language custom formats, syncing two instances, remote path mappings |
| Prowlarr | Proxy setup for certain indexers, FlareSolverr, indexers with limited API |
| File and folder structure | Hardlinks and instant moves, setup guides for Docker, Dockstarter, Native, Synology, TrueNAS Core, unRAID, and Windows, checking whether hardlinks work, replacing copies with hardlinks |
| Downloaders | NZBGet, SABnzbd, qBittorrent, Deluge, ruTorrent — basic setup, paths and categories, scripts, port forwarding, and tips such as unRAID mover behavior |
| Plex | Suggested Plex Media Server settings, optimal client settings, what your media player supports, streaming and buffering troubleshooting, stopping 4K transcoding |
| Profiles | Guide Sync, Radarr and Sonarr custom format groups |
Who it is for
The guides target people who want a working baseline rather than trial and error: someone building a first Radarr/Sonarr setup, someone whose downloads import as copies instead of hardlinks, or someone whose 4K files trigger transcoding on Plex. Each guide is written as a step-by-step procedure for a specific tool.
How to use it
- Pick the tool you are configuring (for example, Radarr) from the navigation.
- Start with the foundational pages — quality settings and the recommended naming scheme — before custom formats, since later steps assume those are in place.
- Follow the setup guide that matches your platform (Docker, unRAID, Synology, Windows, and so on) for file and folder structure.
- Use the "Tips" pages when something behaves unexpectedly, such as files not hardlinking or two instances not syncing.
What to keep in mind
The content is community-maintained and oriented toward specific versions of these tools, so menu names and options can drift from what you see. Treat each guide as a recommended configuration to verify against your own setup rather than a guarantee. The site also lists an official collaboration, support, and contributors section, which is where to look for how the project is maintained.
