Indexers

Enable at least one provider for nzbdav / InfiniDysk or NZBGet. You can combine NZBHydra2, Prowlarr, and direct Newznab providers. Local provider settings do not configure StreamNZB: add its indexers in the StreamNZB dashboard. Each direct provider has an independent enable switch, API endpoint, and key. The global direct-indexer switch must also be on. See search and indexers and TMDB API setup.

Source notes

Labels and schema defaults are from commit db07f61. Runtime limits can differ from the editable schema; the explanations identify those limits. Links use the full commit ID, so later changes to main do not move them.

The Prowlarr connection test checks the indexer-list endpoint, not the selected IDs.
