whatdaybob/sonarr_youtubedl is a Sonarr companion script to allow the automatic downloading of web series normally not available for Sonarr to search for. Using YT-DLP (a youtube-dl fork with added features) it allows you to download your webseries from the list of supported sites.
Firstly you need a series that is available online in the supported sites that YouTube-DL can grab from. Secondly you need to add this to Sonarr and monitor the episodes that you want. Thirdly edit your config.yml accordingly so that this knows where your Sonarr is, which series you are after and where to grab it from. Lastly be aware that this requires the TVDB to match exactly what the episodes titles are in the scan, generally this is ok but as its an openly editable site sometime there can be differences.

Obviously its a docker image so you need docker, if you don't know what that is you need to look into that first.
docker create \
--name=sonarr_youtubedl \
-v /path/to/data:/config \
-v /path/to/sonarrmedia:/sonarr_root \
-v /path/to/logs:/logs \
--restart unless-stopped \

Clarification on sonarr_root
A couple of people are not sure what is meant by the sonarr root. As this downloads directly to where you media is stored I mean the root folder where sonarr will place the files. So in sonarr you have your files moving to /mnt/sda1/media/tv/Smarter Every Day/
as an example, in sonarr you will see that it saves this series to /tv/Smarter Every Day/
meaning the sonarr root is /mnt/sda1/media/
as this is the root folder sonarr is working from.
On first run the docker will create a template file in the config folder. Example config.yml.template
Copy the config.yml.template
to a new file called config.yml
and edit accordingly.
