Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.7.1477
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 5.20.1.34
OS: DSM 6.2.4-25556 Update 5
Description of issue:
Sonarr was working fine for over a month and then suddenly decides to not import
My Synology OS is the same - as is my sabnzbd
Sonarr and SAB are running inside docker
Radarr also inside docker and also facing the same issues
i tried giving ‘Everyone’ read and write access to the download folder - no success
also tried setting permissions to the downloader folder to 777 within SAB, no success
Debug logs: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path is denied.

It looks like the issue is the destination of the import (within the series folder). Make sure Sonarr has read/write access to the root folder and it’s series folders.

Yeah I had realized the update to Plex somehow whacked the permissions to the destination folder. Now fixed. Thanks for replying!
