I found his reply on a bug post on git. The issue is something to do with top level importing, all you have to do to temp fix is move the fines down one folder (see example below)

Here’s what I did to fix:

/downloads/my_show_s01_e02.mkv
moved to–> /downloads/finished/my_show_s01_e02.mkv

then it imports without error. I hope the bug ver is released soon, this bug makes it no longer automated…

#6

Are your completed downloads in the same folder you are downloading into? (I don’t mean where Sonarr is importing them to).
