Differences between Jackett and Prowlarr YAML definitions

[ilike2burnthing]

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# - Can't add brasiltracker #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# - 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 (TorrentLeech - Add TV Search IMDbId back once Cardigann will ignore IMBDbId TV Searches #135) and exclude archives setting not added (Jackett/Jackett@93a26a7) as json filters not supported(?) - update: torrentleech: fix 033505d24eb30f29a2da3c675ea0817a99636786 #389
• yggtorrent/cookie - category search not added (yggtorrent: search by category  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 ?

[ilike2burnthing]

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

@ilike2burnthing at your convenience can you re-visit and update this :)

Some updates to OP ^

See #466.

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