Latinarr

A self-hosted service that integrates megapeliculasrip.net into the *arr ecosystem by impersonating both an indexer and a download client — exposing a Newznab API for Prowlarr and a SABnzbd-compatible API for Radarr, so Latino-audio movies flow automatically from request to Jellyfin.

The *arr ecosystem (Radarr, Prowlarr, Jellyseerr) automates a media library end to end — but only for sources that speak its protocols. Latinarr teaches it a new one: it wraps a Spanish-language movie site behind two APIs the ecosystem understands natively, so requesting a movie with Latino audio becomes fully hands-off.

On the indexer side, Latinarr exposes a Newznab API that Prowlarr treats like any other indexer: it scrapes the site, translates IMDB IDs to Spanish titles via TMDB, and returns scene-formatted results as XML. On the download side, it exposes a SABnzbd-compatible API that Radarr treats as a download client — resolving links (including JDownloader Click'n'Load v2 decryption), downloading multi-part RAR releases via mega-cmd or Real-Debrid with a strict source-fallback strategy, then extracting, renaming, and fixing permissions before Radarr imports the result into Jellyfin.

The interesting engineering lives in the failure paths: releases always arrive as 3–4 RAR parts, and sources can die mid-download, so the pipeline never mixes providers within a release — if the primary fails on any part, every part is retried on the fallback, with configurable retry and delay.
