Sonarr version 2.0.0.4753 Windows Server 2012 R2 Description of issue:
I’m currently using utorrent as my client and Sonarr successfully moves everything from the download directory in to the correct fodler however I’d like to change this. Ideally I’d like Sonarr to montior a different folder.
For example currently the output from utorrent is F:\Downloads\Torrents\Complete and Sonarr monitors this folder, ideally I’d like to to monitor F:\Downloads\Torrents\Transfer The reason for this is I would prefer to reencode anything that is downloaded. I find that a lot of shows are far too large in size for the quality.
Sonarr doesn’t monitor a folder, it monitors the download client and once complete imports the file(s) from the path provided from your download client.
You could turn off Completed Download Handling and use the API to tell Sonarr where to import a file from after re-encoding. You could skip using the API and rely on Drone Factory to scan a particular folder, but we do not recommend that and Drone Factory will be removed in v3.
