Downloadedepisodesscan api call moving instead of copying

geropan · October 29, 2017, 5:54pm

I have been using very happily Sonarr for a few months now, managing a dedicated server seedbox from a local raspberry pi, automating downloads from my seedbox to my local raspberry pi based NAS using Syncthing. A pretty sweet setup that I was quite pleased with.

But I am greedy and I have been trying to automate uploads from the seedbox to google drive using rclone. As an intermediate step, I am trying to use another instance of sonarr running on the seedbox to create the file structure/sorting that then is pushed to the cloud.

The problem comes when I can’t manage to make sonarr to copy instead of moving using a API call. I specifically need copying as the source folder is the one that Syncthing uses to send files to my local NAS.

I hope someone will know what is it that I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

Further details of the issue below:

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.4949
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 4.2.3
OS: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS

Description of issue:

I am trying to use an api call to trigger episode importing/renaming having Complete Download Handling disabled and Drone Factory Interval set to 0 (thus also disabled). Drone Factory Path is set to /home/user/temp and use hardlinks instead of copy is enabled under Settings -> Media Managing -> Importing

The API call I use is the following:

curl http://localhost:8989/sonarr/api/command -X POST -d '{"name": "downloadedepisodesscan", "importMode": "Copy"}' --header "X-Api-Key:MY_API_KEY"

The reason for using the API call in the first place is that Drone Factory does not support copying or creating hardlinks, but unfortunatelly I am not acheiving copying through the API call as the original file is deleted after being imported.

According to the downloadedepisodesscan method documentation, copying instead of moving should be possible so I seem to be missing something.

You shouldn’t use the Drone Factory path at all. If you don’t supply a ‘path’ then all other options are ignored and it’s just going to scan the drone factory.
The importMode only applies to api calls with include the path. (path to folder or file of a single job/download, so not the /temp dir)
The path can point to a folder with multiple vids, as long as those vids are part of the same release (season pack).

So: name=‘downloadedEpisodesScan’, path=folder/file, importMode=‘Copy’

I see! I will have to adapt my workflow to the explained behaviour.

Thanks for such a prompt response!
