Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.4326
My current setup uses Sonarr and CouchPotato to download films and TV in the same torrent client, but I use a WDTV box to view and I’d like all my newly downloaded TV to be in a single flat folder (once Sonarr has processed and renamed) rather than separated by Series.
It’s not possible to have more than 1 series point to the same folder (‘Path is already configured for another series’). Is there anything else I can do?
The best option in this scenario would be to use a [Custom Script] (https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wiki/Custom-Post-Processing-Scripts) to move the files to another location after they are imported by Sonarr. This would allow Sonarr to see that they were imported properly and using Ignore Deleted Episodes would have Sonarr automatically unmonitor the episode when it detected it was moved during the series rescan. Or use a symlink or hardlink so Sonarr maintains the file in the series folder and you can see them in the flat folder structure (depends if the device supports that and whether the WDTV can read the symlink, otherwise you’d need to move the file and then have the symlink in the series folder).
You could also disable Completed Download Handling in Sonarr and have something else move them, but then Sonarr would always see files as missing.
Having files remain in their respective series folders would allow Sonarr to upgrade files and maintain a record of the files you have, the above are workarounds at best.
That sounds perfect but my scripting skills are basically zero!
I found it a pain moving the files from the download folders, and like you my scripting skills are nonexistent. I found this neat little program that could monitor the folders and move the files for you. Its a little clunky to set up but simple enough once you get the hang of it. Its called DropIt link here http://www.dropitproject.com/
There is a good guide as well here www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-move-or-copy-files-at-scheduled-time-intervals/
Hope this helps
DropIt worked perfectly (with a bit of setup). Cheers.
