Sonarr Ver. 2.0.0.4230
Windows 7:

New user trying to figure out how to correctly set up new shows and import old ones previously downloaded via Sickbeard and sabnzbd.

Here is my media setup:

    Single Episode Example

    
        Series Title (2010) - S01E01 - Episode Title (1) HDTV-720p
    



    Multi-Episode Example

    
        Series Title (2010) - S01E01-02-03 - Episode Title HDTV-720p
    



    Daily-Episode Example

    
        Series Title (2010) - 2013-10-30 - Episode Title (1) HDTV-720p
    



    Anime Episode Example
    
        Series Title (2010) - S01E01 - Episode Title (1) HDTV-720p
    



    Anime Multi-Episode Example

    
        Series Title (2010) - S01E01-02-03 - Episode Title HDTV-720p
    



    Series Folder Example

    
        Series Title (2010)
    



    Season Folder Example

    
        Season 01

When I add a new series Sonarr creates a double series folder instead of a series/season combination.

It also won’t import an existing series/season show whose files don’t have a quality designation in the file name.

When adding existing series, don’t point sonarr at the series folder, point it at the parent folder (we call that the root folder.)
Wehn adding new series, the same, just point it at the root folder.

So D:\media\tv\Series.Title\Season 1, Root folder = D:\media\tv.

Okay.

Part of what I am doing here is migrating the stuff downloaded by Sickbeard/sabnzbd from my C drive to my new NAS or Z drive. I tried what you suggested and it did give me an entire list of the Shows under my root folder. However, when I tried to add a specific show it gave me no option of moving the existing files from their current show folder on the C drive. I have also looked at manual import under wanted but not sure how to proceed with that either.

Point it at the folder on C:\ and import or manually move the files to the NAS.

I added the show in Sonarr and then manually copied the files in but Sonarr still refuses to acknowledge their presence. As long as Plex sees them it won’t be a problem.

Maybe this? https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wiki/FAQ#why-cant-sonarr-see-my-files-on-a-remote-server
