CentOS 8 has been out for a few weeks now, and RHEL 8 long before that
I can try to loosely follow the CentOS 7 installation guide for Sonarr, and while I was able to get it up and running in conjunction with SABnzbd, some packages from the EPEL for CentOS 8 are broken. Most notably, the package: libmediainfo.

This package requires the dependency of libtinyxml2 but that is a broken install on CentOS 8. Some other factors of the OS upgrade have caused it to be different enough from the CentOS 7 that the installation guide can not be adhered to.

Please confirm that the CentOS 8 build that requires libmediainfo has access to the required dependencies. Even better would be to build a Git repository that already includes all of this stuff.
Thank you.

We don't maintain a package for centos and the installation instructions are on the wiki and contributed by someone else.

Sonarr needs libmediainfo, if there is an issue with that on centos 8 then a new libmedia package would need to be provided, but that isn't something we can provide and it doesn't look like it's something mediainfo has published a package for. https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download/CentOS

EPEL8 has mediainfo and libmediainfo packages that work fine, and the instructions that @MarkProminic linked to include steps to get that installed.
