Description of issue:
Hello,
I would like to know if there is any way to make Sonarr send the download path to the torrent client when adding a torrent file.
I like to keep my torrents as organized as possible, if possible, which means that when I download a season for a show, for example, I want to have a folder with the show name, and download it there, like so: downloads/Show Name/Season X/...
I already have Sonarr and qBittorrent configured, and they work well. This is the folder structure I use, and how I would like to make the downloadd client work automatically. The config is the following: Sonarr adds a show/season/episode/etc to qbittorrent, which downloads the files in plex-data/torrents/incoming. When the torrent finishes, it is moved in plex-data/torrents/completed/..., at which point Sonarr makes a hard link into plex-data/media/..., which is where plex scans its libraries. I have one instance of qbittorrent running, with 3 separate configs for it in sonarr, which download automatically in either tv, documentaries, or anime, depending on which tag I set when I add the shows. However, the download client downloads directly in those folders, and I want to organize them further based on show and season. At the moment I manually set the save path in qbittorrent after the torrents are added, but this is getting tiresome. Is there any way to achieve this automatically, either directly from Sonarr or with the help of some plugin/addon/script/etc.?
Looks like you’re mixing download paths (managed by your download client) and library path (sorted/renamed episodes, managed by sonarr.
Probably best to fix your paths: Home - TRaSH Guides
Can you please give some more details about how I am mixing them up? I’ve setup the apps using the same guides you linked. The download client downloads into the /data/torrents/{tv|movies|music} (in my case it’s plex-data instead of data, but that’s besides the point) folders, and the starr apps mount the whole ‘plex-data’ folder into their ‘data’ folder, so they have access to the whole folder structure, which as you can see in the screenshot looks like they explained in the guide, minus the books and music folders:
data
├── torrents
│ ├── books
│ ├── movies
│ ├── music
│ └── tv
└── media
├── books
├── movies
├── music
└── tv
The only difference is that for the torrents folder I added ‘incomplete’ folders where they’re downloaded first.
Yeah, looks like your paths are fine, but everything under plex-data threw me off at first glance too.
No, it’s not possible to further organize your download folders.
I understand. Yeah, I guess the folder structure can be a bit off, considering mine is a bit more similar to the usenet folder structure from the guides. I might need to change that someday. Thank you. Or maybe check the documentation to see if I can make a plugin/addon for myself to do that. Thank you!
