Completed downloads moving to TV folder and not Series folder anymore

Hi guys,

I have had this issue for a while now and it appeared to have been happening for a while before I noticed but I am having the same issue as this thread which is now closed.

Completed shows are moving to a new folder in the root of TV by the name of the episode rather than moving into folder for the Series > Season.

Did anyone ever solve this issue before? There is no answer in the thread above?

I am running Sonaar on a Synology NAS. V. 2.0.0.4230

Cheers,
AC

We need the same thing that was requested in that thread (and never provided), ((debug logs)), but again it sounds like your download client (or something other than Sonarr) is sorting them.

Sorry for the late reply. Here is my debug log. It looks like a permissions thing that I can’t figure out how to fix.

thanks for your help.

It looks like your download client is putting them there and Sonarr can’t move them. First off you should have your download client put them somewhere else /data/unsorted_TV (or similar). Also make sure the user running Sonarr has read + write access to the folders and the files being created by your download client, I believe Sonarr is a member of the sc-media group which should give it the access it needs.

Thanks for your reply. The reason it’s moving them is because of the sonarr script (assigned to downloads that Sonarr queue up) that runs after completion of the download.

So are you saying my download client (SABNZBD) shouldn’t be moving them anymore? I should stop using the sonarr script in SABNZBD? Or do I just need to fix the permissions

With respect to the download folder, I can’t see a way to have SAB specifically download completed TV shows to a different folder. Everything goes into the folder. Or am I missing something there too?

Thanks again.

Not sure I follow, SAB has to put them somewhere, from there Sonarr should import them to the series folder (make sure TV sorting is disabled in SAB), there is no need for a script in SAB to move files (or tell Sonarr to move them), Sonarr knows when to import files as it’s watching the SAB API and waiting for completed downloads.

SAB allows you to specify where completed downloads go on a category basis on the categories settings page.

OK thanks for clearing that up. The categories bit in SAB is how I have been moving TV shows to the TV folder. I have a category (i have been incorrectly calling it a script) called sonarr that moves completed TV shows to the TV folder.

I have now changed that so that it goes to a subfolder called TV in my completed downloads folder.

If it works like you say, sonarr should be able to move the files to the correct folder just fine yeah?

Yes, as long as it has the rights to move the files form there to the series folder it should do it.
