Posting this mainly for clarity on my end, not sure if it will necessarily be useful for others. Doesn't have to stay open, just posting as a record and in case I've misunderstood anything.

I've just gone through all definitions and submitted PRs where needed, so below should be exhaustive.

Prowlarr has 4 additional definitions:

  • bjshare - there's a lot different compared with Jackett's C# indexer, but no maintainers have an account to work on it
  • ncore - same ^
  • brasiltracker - needs rewritten in C# - #336 (comment)
  • xthor-scraping - definition seems to need some work, but no active Jackett maintainers have an account
  • ianon - Prowlarr's is HTML scraper, Jackett's uses Gazelle API
  • hdspace - migrate from C# - #432

Common minor differences:

  • info notes - Jackett changed to Prowlarr
  • login - inputs: {} # TODO: remove in v10
  • reference to Sync, rather than manually adding

Other differences:

  • ebookbay, gay-torrents, mircrew, rgfootball, uniondht & xxxadulttorrent - UA header needed for Prowlarr but not Jackett
  • showrss - id in Prowlarr is showrss-yml as there is a native showrss indexer
  • torrentleech - IMDB TV search removed (#135) and exclude archives setting not added (Jackett/Jackett@93a26a7) as json filters not supported(?) - update: #389
  • yggtorrent/cookie - category search not added (Jackett/Jackett#14250) as not supported(?)
  • eniahd, newstudiol & torrentslocal - setting freeleech vs freeleech_50 - not changed in Prowlarr to avoid resetting existing user preference (shouldn't have been changed in Jackett, but was noticed too late)

@ilike2burnthing can you tell me what we need to do on xthor-scrapping ?

Just comparing the 2 indexers:

  • can tmdbid search be used?
  • multilang, multilanguage, and vostfr settings and title filters can be copied across from the API indexer
  • are posters available?
  • date is missing
  • MST and MR are missing
  • engine tag is missing (even if it's just # engine n/a)

For torrentleech's exclude archives feature, jackett has just changed that to use the new -tags: syntax Torrentleech recently implemented, so that should be able to be brought forward to Prowlarr now I believe

Some updates to OP ^

See #466.

Also #432, but requires C# indexer be removed as well.
