Prowlarr indexers ​

The Prowlarr plugin feeds BackIssue's built-in Usenet and Torrent sources with the indexers your Prowlarr instance manages — configure Prowlarr once instead of listing each indexer by hand. Its usenet indexers feed the Usenet source; its torrent indexers feed Torrents.

Prowlarr only finds releases. The actual download still goes through your download client (SABnzbd/NZBGet and/or qBittorrent), so enable Usenet and/or Torrents with a client as usual — see Download sources.

Setup ​

Install the plugin from Sidebar → Plugins, then enable it in Settings → Sources → Prowlarr:

• Prowlarr URL — e.g. http://prowlarr:9696.
• API key — in Prowlarr under Settings → General → Security.
• Indexers — press Load to list your Prowlarr indexers, then tick the ones BackIssue should search. All are used by default, and an indexer you later add in Prowlarr is picked up automatically.

Test connection confirms reachability and reports how many usenet/torrent indexers are enabled.

Managed indexers ​

While Prowlarr is enabled, the manually entered Newznab/Torznab indexer lists on the Usenet and Torrents panels are ignored — they grey out with a "managed" note. Turn Prowlarr off to fall back to them.

Search behaviour is otherwise identical to hand-configured indexers: results merge across every indexer, the strict series-and-number matcher filters them, and grabs ride your source priority and download clients.
