The documentation here is for an unreleased version of Recyclarr.

api_key: !secret radarr_api_key

media_management:
propers_and_repacks: do_not_prefer

The media_management section configures settings found in Settings > Media Management in the Sonarr/Radarr UI. If a property is not specified, Recyclarr will not sync that setting — this is useful if you prefer to manage it manually.

propers_and_repacks

Optional. Default: not synced

Controls how Sonarr/Radarr handles Propers and Repacks. This corresponds to the "Propers and Repacks" dropdown in the Media Management settings.

Valid values:

ValueBehavior
prefer_and_upgradePrefer propers/repacks and automatically upgrade to them
do_not_upgradePrefer propers/repacks but don't upgrade existing files
do_not_preferDon't give any preference to propers/repacks
tip

When using TRaSH Guides Custom Formats for repack/proper handling (the recommended approach), set this to do_not_prefer. This disables the built-in handling so the Custom Format scores control upgrade behavior instead.
