File endings while importing problem

[Beryllium30]

Hey

I am running Sonarr in a docker on unraid and have a handbrake step between downloading and importing. my /data/torrents/complete/ (internal) is mapped to /media/transcode/

Still after the file is there I get the error: Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr:

I can manually import the file that works. The only that changes is the file extension, as it is converted from mkv to mp4.

Could this cause sonarr to not find the file? It works fine for usenet files. And there /data/usenet/completed/series/ is mapped to /media/transcode/.

Just wanted to make sure its not the file extension. From the console (in the docker container) I can access the file.

Edit: I think I know what the issue is. Due to usenet downloading to a folder Sonarr does not care about the file change from mkv to mp4 through handbrake. Since the torrent is getting a file itself the extension change causes Sonarr not to find the file. Any want to avoid that?

Thanks for all your help!

Only way to avoid it would be to have your torrent client download single file downloads to a folder (if possible).

Doing that will likely lead to Sonarr importing before the conversion is done because torrent clients mark downloads as complete immediately even if scripts are being run.

I am doing it with docker.

So for sonarr even if the download is finished it will only appear in the correct folder after the transcode is finished.

I will see if I can find a way for the torrent client to create folders.
