Prowlarr fetches updated index definitions automatically. However, custom definitions can be added.
Create Custom directory in either ~/.config/Prowlarr/Definitions/Custom or /var/lib/prowlarr/Definitions/Custom
Any custom yml files go in this directly and need to have appropriate permissions and ownership for the prowlarr user to read them.
Prowlarr caches the definitions, so while working with them, either wait for the cache to time out or restart Prowlarr after each change.

Sonarr install:
https://sonarr.tv/#downloads-v3-linux-debian
On RPI3, disable h265.x265,HEVC as RPI does not have hardware decoding for these:
settings → profiles → under release profiles click + , give it a name (no HEVC/265) and add under “must not contain” x265 h265 hevc separated by spaces and click save.
To exclude 4k/raw content, go to settings → profiles and edit the Any profile, remove all -2160p, Remux, Raw-HD and unknown entries.

On RPI3, disable h265.x265,HEVC as RPI does not have hardware decoding for these:
settings → indexers → under restrictions profiles click + , add under “must not contain” x265 h265 hevc separated by spaces and click save.
To exclude 4k/raw and low quality content, go to settings → profiles and edit the Any profile, remove all -2160p, Remux, Raw-HD and BR-Disk entries as well as Telecine, Telesync, Cam, Workprint and unknown.

Kodi on the Raspberry Pi 0/1/2/3 will only function if you are using the Broadcom drivers! This is the “Original non-GL desktop driver” on raspi-config, which is currently the default on the Raspbian images for the RPi 0/1/2/3. If you select the open-source OpenGL driver, it won't work!
Kodi on Raspbian requires a minimum of 160 MB of RAM dedicated to the GPU to function properly! This can be done by running “raspi-config” → “Advanced Options” → “Memory Split” → 160.
If you have a RPi 2/3, the recommended is 256 MB of RAM for the GPU.
-Kodi 18 on the Raspberry Pi 2/3 supports 10bit video files (at least h264 and h265/HEVC) but they are software decoded. The Pi 3B / 3B+ may do 720p 10bit and 1080p 10bit low bitrate only at max! For that you need at least 300MB of RAM for the GPU.
Raspbian by default, doesn't play some video codecs like VP6, VP8, MJPEG, Theora, etc, so to be able to play this codecs, you need to go to “raspi-config” → “Interfacing Options” → “Camera” → Enable,
or just add a new line in /boot/config.txt with:
start_x=1
on RPI3 add to/enable in /boot/config.txt for DRM to work:
