Collections
Prunerr pulls movie collections from Radarr — things like "The Dark Knight Collection", "Harry Potter Collection", "Marvel Cinematic Universe", etc.
Collections sync automatically after every library scan. You can also trigger a sync manually from the Collections page (click Sync Collections).
The sync pulls collection metadata from Radarr's TMDB data and matches movies in your library to their collections.
This is the main reason collections exist in Prunerr. You can protect an entire collection, and every item in that collection becomes immune to cleanup rules.
Say you protect the "Harry Potter Collection" — even if one of the films hasn't been watched in years and matches your cleanup rules, it won't get touched. The protection badge shows up on individual items in the Library view too, so you can see why something is protected.
To protect a collection:
- Go to Collections
- Click on a collection
- Toggle Protection on
- Optionally add a reason (e.g. "kids re-watch these")
Protection is evaluated at rule runtime — it's not copied to individual items. So if you unprotect a collection, those items immediately become eligible for rules again.
You can also go the other direction and queue an entire collection for deletion. On the collection detail page there's a "Queue for Deletion" section where you pick a deletion action, grace period, and hit go. Every non-protected item in the collection gets added to the queue.
Items that are individually protected or protected by another collection get skipped automatically.
In the Library view, items that belong to a protected collection show a "Protected" badge in the card footer. Click it and it takes you to that specific collection page.
On the item detail page, the poster shows "Protected via [Collection Name]" when the protection comes from a collection rather than individual protection.
