Remove YGG Indexers from Official Definitions

Summary

  • Removes yggtorrent.yml and yggcookie.yml from v11 definitions
  • Adds YGG indexers to sync script blocklist to prevent re-addition during Jackett Indexer Sync.
  • Reduces maintenance and support staff burden while providing user ease of continuing to use YGG
  • YGG May continue to be used as a custom indexer

Why Remove YGG?

  • Anti-automation policies
  • Blocks Prowlarr contributors and developers
  • Heavy reliance on FlareSolverr for Cloudflare bypassing
  • Cloudflare protection increasingly defeating bypass attempts
  • High maintenance overhead from constantly broken functionality
  • High support overhead
  • Frequent breaking changes requiring manual fixes
  • Users who need YGG can maintain custom definitions

Important Differences

YGG definitions differ between Prowlarr and Jackett due to architectural limitations:

  • Prowlarr limitation: Cannot select search paths based on chosen categories (unlike Jackett)
  • Prowlarr approach: Uses settings for choosing categories and subcategories instead
  • Definition incompatibility: Jackett’s YGG definitions will not work properly in Prowlarr without modification

Reference commits:

User Responsibilities

Manual maintenance required: YGG users must:

  • Monitor YGG definition updates manually
  • Replace custom definition files when updates are available
  • Test functionality after each update
  • Troubleshoot breaking changes independently
  • Instructions use last known good commit

Update process:

# Check for updates periodically and replace files manually
curl -o /path/to/custom/yggtorrent.yml \
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Prowlarr/Indexers/[LATEST_COMMIT]/definitions/v11/yggtorrent.yml

Common AppData Paths

  • Docker: /config/Definitions/Custom/
  • Windows: %PROGRAMDATA%\Prowlarr\Definitions\Custom\
  • Linux: /var/lib/prowlarr/Definitions/Custom/ (default installation)
  • macOS: ~/.config/Prowlarr/Definitions/Custom/

See the Prowlarr AppData Directory Wiki for detailed path information.

Configuration Steps

  1. Download and place custom definition files as shown above
  2. Restart Prowlarr to detect the custom definitions
  3. Go to Indexers → Add Indexers
  4. Select your YGG indexer from the available options
  5. Configure your credentials and settings
  6. Test and save

Notes

  • Custom definitions persist across Prowlarr updates
  • You are responsible for manually updating definitions when Jackett releases changes and applying them to your Custom Prowlarr Defintion
  • YGG definitions use Prowlarr-specific category handling, not Jackett’s approach
  • This approach maintains YGG functionality while reducing official maintenance burden

Suppression des indexeurs YGG des définitions officielles

Note : Ce document a été traduit par IA (Claude

Résumé

  • Supprime yggtorrent.yml et yggcookie.yml des définitions v11
  • Ajoute les indexeurs YGG à la liste de blocage du script de synchronisation pour empêcher la re-ajout
  • Réduit la charge de maintenance et de support du personnel tout en permettant aux utilisateurs de continuer à utiliser YGG facilement

Pourquoi supprimer YGG ?

  • Politiques anti-automatisation
  • Bloque les contributeurs et développeurs de Prowlarr
  • Forte dépendance à FlareSolverr pour contourner Cloudflare
  • La protection Cloudflare déjoue de plus en plus les tentatives de contournement
  • Surcharge de maintenance élevée due aux fonctionnalités constamment cassées
  • Surcharge de support élevée
  • Changements cassants fréquents nécessitant des corrections manuelles
  • Les utilisateurs qui ont besoin de YGG peuvent maintenir des définitions personnalisées

Instructions d’installation manuelle

Chemins AppData courants

  • Docker : /config/Definitions/Custom/
  • Windows : %PROGRAMDATA%\Prowlarr\Definitions\Custom\
  • Linux : /var/lib/prowlarr/Definitions/Custom/ (installation par défaut)
  • macOS : ~/.config/Prowlarr/Definitions/Custom/

Consultez le Wiki du répertoire AppData de Prowlarr pour des informations détaillées sur les chemins.

Étapes de configuration

  1. Télécharger et placer les fichiers de définition personnalisés comme indiqué ci-dessus
  2. Redémarrer Prowlarr pour détecter les définitions personnalisées
  3. Aller dans Indexeurs → Ajouter des indexeurs
  4. Sélectionner votre indexeur YGG parmi les options disponibles
  5. Configurer vos identifiants et paramètres
  6. Tester et sauvegarder

Notes

  • Les définitions personnalisées persistent lors des mises à jour de Prowlarr

  • Cette approche maintient la fonctionnalité YGG tout en réduisant la charge de maintenance officielle

There appear to be issues simply dropping in jackett's YGG definitions.

for now you may use the removed prowlarr ones

For Jackett definition support and getting the ygg definitions to drop in work with Prowlarr, please visit their github. There are currently no expectations for any material Cardigann differences between Jackett and Prowlarr, so you'd have to ask Jackett why their definition is no longer compatible with Cardigann v11.
