💡 Why Use iPlayarr?

BBC iPlayer has great content, but limited automation options. iPlayarr makes it easy to search, download, and organize shows and movies using tools you already love—without sketchy sources or complicated scripts.

🧠 Fun Fact

The name "iPlayarr" is a play on “iPlayer” + “Sonarr/Radarr” — merging the best of both worlds.
