## Common questions

### Why do Readarr's latest and develop container tags stop working?

Both latest and develop tags stopped working, so existing users should pin the container to the last working version. Read the changelogs before updating containers blindly.

### Can one Readarr instance manage both ebook and audiobook versions of the same book?

Only one type of a given book is supported. To keep both an ebook and an audiobook for the same title, you need multiple Readarr instances.

### What download-client step is required before configuring Readarr on UmbrelOS?

Install a supported download client such as Transmission, qBittorrent, or SABnzbd from the Umbrel App Store before configuring Readarr.

### Are third-party metadata mirrors supported by Readarr?

The Readarr team cannot provide support for third-party metadata mirrors, and using them is entirely at your own risk. The most popular mirror appears to be rreading-glasses.
