After using Readarr somewhat successfully for a year or so I noticed
today an announcement in the app that it was having problems with it's
metadata provider then it started deleting all my authors and files..
seemed to go alphabetically. Managed to get it stopped by the E's  :(

Just a heads up to everyone out there.

This has been an ongoing issue for quite a while. Does anyone know
if/when will this be fixed?

I can't index new books or authors anymore

Authors with lots of works has been broken for months, so I wouldn't
hold your breath.

Is Readarr still being developed? Looks like this problem has been
there for a while.

It’s still being developed. I’m trying lazy librarian which is also
being actively developed and it has no problems looking up the book
metadata.

Rats ! I switched from LazyLibrarian some time ago and I really do not
wish to switch back...

Hope this will be solved someday. Kudos to the devs anyways !

Lazy librarian is stable and working well for me. The author gets back
on issues quickly. I don’t plan on switching back but kept my old
readarr docker container just in case. My only advice if someone
switches is recreate your calibre library first mine had gotten wonky.

I think we should forget readarr... does not work for me.

So I guess it's dead.

What are peoples recommended alternatives?
