Description of issue:
New user here just made the switch from SickBeard.
I’ve gotten the basic automation setup from sonarr to Deluge.
I use the label “sonarr” for sonarr > deluge and my main challenge was figuring out that I needed to set the label to “Auto Managed” in order for the CDH remove feature to work.
So, right now everything is working fine using the “Deluge” download client option.
Sonarr sends the torrent to deluge, which gets the torrent and stops when seeding reaches the target. The sonarr appears to properly remove the torrent from deluge and move (copy/delete?) the files into the season folder.
The problem/concern here is that I don’t know how this is going to work if/when what I download is an archive file.
It appears that they way sonarr deletes the torrent with the remove feature is by first copying any data it needs to its season directory and then sending the API:
remove_torrent(torrent_id, remove_data=True)
This means that even if some type of script was extracting the data, sonarr would not remove the extracted data - only the original torrent archive downloaded. Is this correct?
It would appear that the only way to get Deluge automation working with any extract capability is to NOT use the Deluge download client, but instead use the Torrent Blackhole option and simply script everything. Is this correct?
If so - I’m curious what functionality gets lost by using the blackhole instead of the Deluge settings? Seemingly the “Activity” monitor would be missing, but apart from this - what else?
Finally, is there a long term option in the works that is more robust? I’m not sure here if the fault lies in a lack of functionality in deluge, or simply sonarr needing the ability to extract files on its own (I believe CouchPotato does this).
I wonder if it is possible to setup the torrent Blackhole option, but not use it for downloading? However it will still be monitored if something is found in it?
thanks for your assistance!
