Dronefactory not working?

I’m having shows downloaded to Dronefactory, but they aren’t getting noticed and moved. Interval is set to 1. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

Enable [debug logs] (https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wiki/Log-Files) and post them.

You shouldn’t use the drone factory for automating imports, you should use completed download handling instead. Which uses your download client to determine when to import.

I should clarify with an example: If I can’t find a release through Sonarr, I will find it manually myself, on bit torrent, and have that bit torrent client download the file to the drone factory folder. That would be an appropriate use, right? Or not? Will post logs

Yeah, thats a suitable use for Drone Factory, but you don’t need the interval set to 1 minute in that case, 0 to disable it (and run manually from the Missing page), or set it longer (an hour), while its not a big deal to scan it, it just doesn’t need to be done.

I have the same situation. I use Completed Download Handling with SAB, but sometimes get episode files elsewhere and so I put them in the DF folder to get processed. Currently I have the Drone Factory set to the same folder SAB is downloading to, interval 0, and I force a scan when I need to under Wanted: “Rescan Drone Factory Folder”. Is this kosher?

Maybe I should set DF to a different folder than SAB uses? Is it OK to specify a DF folder and interval with CDH enabled? If not, what is the recommended setup to have files processed that don’t come from the Download Client?

What did you mean

Where is that?

Yes, it must be a different folder, otherwise CDH doesn’t actually process them.

Yes, its fine, you just don’t need it set to run every minute (mine is 1 hour).

Wanted → Missing then click the Rescan Drone Factory Folder

Great. Thanks Markus
