I’m running Sonarr with NZBGet as the download client. So far, everything is working fine. I can use Sonarr to search for episodes, then it will use NZBGet to download them, then it imports them. The question I have is, how can I import episode I have downloaded outside of Sonarr?
Sometimes I have to manually search for a nzb and download it myself, but I can’t figure out how to import the episode into Sonarr. I know that the drone factory is an option, but from what I’ve read it’s been deprecated by completed download handling. When I add an NZB to NZBGet I set the category as TV but when the episodes are finished, Sonarr doesn’t see or import them even though completed download handling is on. Is this something that is possible or must I use the drone factory?
At the moment i am not using usenet (i tend to swap in between torrent and usenet) but my settings for grabbing a download outside of sonarr was to use a category in nzbget with the drone factory folder as dest directory.
You can still use the drone factory folder with CHD enabled. As i understand the drone factory folder will be removed in v3
I enabled trace logging on Sonarr and found that completed downlaod handling works for every series except Doctor Who for some reason. Sonarr will import completed downloads for every show except Doctor Who. Here is the log output. It says No matching series Doctor Who but I can assure you that that is a series in my list.
