Adding Movies

Quick Add

Click Add on any card to open the Quick Add panel inline. You can configure the library details before confirming without navigating away.

  1. 1

    Select library — choose the root folder path where the movie will be stored.

  2. 2

    Select quality profile — pick the profile that defines acceptable quality and upgrade behavior for this movie.

  3. 3

    Toggle monitor — monitored movies are automatically searched. Add unmonitored to track without searching immediately.

  4. 4

    Confirm — the movie is added to the database and an immediate search is triggered if monitored.

Defaults from the last add are remembered per session. The library and quality profile fields pre-populate with your most recent selections, making rapid bulk-adding fast.

Status Indicators

In Library and Excluded Indicators

Cards are visually marked to prevent duplicate adds and surface content you have explicitly excluded.

In Library

A green overlay and checkmark indicate the movie is already in your Luminarr library. Clicking the card navigates to the movie's detail page instead of showing the add panel.

Excluded

A red overlay marks movies you have explicitly excluded from Luminarr. Excluded movies will not be added by RSS sync or automatic search. You can un-exclude from the movie detail page.
