It tells Radarr when to start considering movies as "available" and thus start snatching them from indexers, if they pop up on your RSS feeds. There are a multitude of options available to set it to (can be edited when editing a movie or in movie editor for mass changing): +* **Announced**: Radarr shall consider movies available as soon as they are added to Radarr. This setting is *recommended* if you have good private trackers (or really good public ones, e.g. rabg.to) that do not have fakes. +* **InCinemas**: Radarr shall consider movies available as soon as movies they hit cinemas. This option is not really *recommended*. +* **Physical / Web**: Radarr shall consider movies available as soon as the Blu-ray is released. This option is *recommended* if your indexers contain fakes often. +* **PreDB**: Originally this setting would monitor predb.me for scene releases of that movie. However, predb.me blocks Radarr now and this setting is now the exact same as **Physical / Web** and thus *not recommended*. + +## Additional recommendations + +If you use **Physical / Web** as minimum availability, it is advisable to set a minimum availability delay under Settings -> Indexers. The days specified in here (can be negative too) are added to the Physical release dates of movies to check whether a movie is considered available. It is advisable to set it to something between -14 and -28 days, since Blu-rays often leak and thus are available much earlier than the date they actually appear in stores. + +### An example to illustrate the concept: +Movie Prometheus 2 has Minimum Availability of **Physical / Web**. Physical Release date of Prometheus would be 28th of July 2017. However, a minimum availability delay of -21 days is set. Thus Radarr will start snatching Prometheus from the RSS feeds starting 7th of July 2017. \ No newline at end of file
