Getting started - Not importing

[markus101]

1. Those aren’t debug logs
2. You need to post them elsewhere (I’ve deleted them because they don’t show anything relevant)

Also, on my SONARR, I’ve watch ONE, count them ONE episode of Bill Mahr and I get nothing but shit from sonarr about it and I’ve deleted it from my library in Sonarr.

You watched then deleted it? Then Sonarr will think it’s missing unless you tell Sonarr to unmonitor it (or tell it to unmonitor on delete, there is a setting for that).

The logs will tell you what’s wrong, from that you can figure out how to fix it, that’s all we’re doing, there isn’t any magic. It’s more the knowledge of what could be wrong if you see a specific error.

You’re going to need to go elsewhere for support with Radarr though.

It’s not very long, don’t know why it would need to be posted elsewhere:

It’s not very long, don’t know why it would need to be posted elsewhere:

It’s not very long because there is nothing there (just enabled debug by the looks of it). It’s also a pretty good indication if someone can follow simple instructions…

There are several issues with the files already in the series folder, which means Sonarr can’t properly determine you have the files already, beyond that I don’t see issues importing files from the download client in that particular log.

1. C:\TV\Doctor Who 2005\Season 04\DrWho2005, 2008-04-19, S04E03, Planet of the Ood (tt0436992).avi - If you want to include the date and the season + episode numbers the date should come after the season and episode number
2. C:\TV\Absolutely Fabulous\Series 3\Absolutely Fabulous - 3xS1 - The Last Shout Part 1.avi - 3xS1 makes no sense to Sonarr as a number, that should either be 3x01 or S03E01
3. C:\TV\Avatar - The Last Airbender\Book 3 - Fire\Ep. 50 - The Day of Black Sun Part 1 - The Invasion-[720p].mkv - That numbering would be fine, but it looks like Absolute episode numbers aren’t set for that series, so you’re either going to need to get them added on TheTVDB or rename to S03Exx
4. C:\TV\The Good Doctor\The.Good.Doctor.S01E11.WEBRip.x264-RARBG.mp4 Maybe this is one that didn’t import? That’d be due to sorting in the download client. You should have your download client put files in a completely separate folder, such as C:\Downloads\TV

There may be additional issues, but those ones popped up as a took a quick peek at the logs.

[YEN]

Right now, it appears that SABnzbd is not passing, when I click test, it fails and asks me to clear the category, but categories re set up in SABnzbd. Also, I’ve clicked on some TV shows, and they appear to download, and go into the right folder, but there clearly are errors.

[beardman]

Clear the logs. run the test, upload the logs and put the link to them here. You seem to be trying to troubleshoot multiple things at once.

I’m getting “Disable TV Sorting” in my download client Sabnzdb and an error when I try to test it.

my downloads are ending up in a completed folder, but not in the C:/TV folder and the specific show folder.

Sometimes Movies and TV shows will show up in Plex that have been downloaded using either Sonarr or Radarr but they are not in the correct folder and I have not moved them manually.

and 4.

Files are staying in Microtorrent

You should read the document at the below link, twice. It will help you get the help you are searching for.
http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Don’t you think this should be something that I (me) should be able to diagnose? Shouldn’t there be instructions on how to interpret and fix your Sonarr and Radarr from the LOGS instead of POST YOUR LOGS and WE’LL DO IT FOR YOU…

IMHO, the documentation on how to post debug logs wasn’t clear to you, why would documentation on how to interpret the logs be easier for you to understand? TBF, you didn’t even follow the directions to do a search before posting or you would have found previous topics with the same issues (see below link). So, whether or not anyone here thinks you should be able to diagnose your own problems becomes irrelevant, because being able to follow simple instructions is a prerequisite for even the simplest troubleshooting.

“weren’t” should be “wasn’t” but as unclear as THAT was, I figured your poor English out.

I know how to ask questions, Cockmonkey, thanks for the reading though.

Here is one search string I did on Google before I came to this forum:

sonarr all download clients are unavailable due to failures sabnzbd

Which yielded these websites I visited:

Download clients unavailable due to failures: qBittorrent and sabNZBd

Guys, I have Sonarr v2.0.0.4855 running smoothly for the most part. However, I keep encounter “Download clients unavailable due to failures: qBittorrent” and "Download clients unavailable due to failures: sabNZBd. When I was configuring Sonarr, I though I set up the web interfaces for each of these programs (so Sonarr can access them regardless of if they are running on the system). However, when I do not run the programs manually, I get these errors. Do I have to run the programs manually, …

r/sonarr - All download clients are unavailable due to failures

Additionally, I did other searches, Cockmonkey, but I won’t waste everyone’s time posting them here.

The posts YOU linked were mostly stale, but I had ALREADY (BEFORE POSTING COCKMONKEY) REMOVED TV AND TRIED THAT, thank you very much.

I’ve worked in the computer industry for 35 years. I started on an XT. 95% of the time, when I go to a link, like this websites on how to get the logs, I expect it to be dumbed down for the average user, which I am not.

So, I initially glazed over the link and felt that I knew what and where the log files were, I was mistaken on that point and I apologize for my arrogance in that matter.

No matter if I have “TV” category entered or not, SAB errors out. When I remove the TV category, SAB tells me that it recommends a category.

I have cleared my log, and am allowing the new log to fill up with data so that I may post an new log for review. I too will review it and see if there is anything in there that I, myself, can interpret.

Thanks for trying to point out where you think I was being

[Animosity022]

It sounds like there is confusion on how the directories and download work together based on Sonarr and your news/torrent client. I did a visual flow of how the different directories and such work so it may be helpful to draw out the flow and where files are dropping and to what location so the mapping is clear. I’m primarily a Linux user as the concepts are the same so I used some example Windows paths.

NZB Client

Torrent Client

Not quite a perfect wording/rendition, but I think it gets the idea across.

[YEN]

That all seems logical.

SAB, however, is my NZB client (if I truly understand things) and when I was following the instructions (because I don’t google instructions apparently) the recommendation was that I enter a category in the SAB Download Client TV for Sonarr and Movie for Radarr.

When I click, “TEST” It says that “Category does not exist”

When I remove the category, “A category is recommended” and SAB still fails.

HOWEVER, now, TV shows do appear to be downloading and going into appropriate folders, just the settings are not right.

I guess this is just JINKY and I have to accept it with flaws… like all the other software in this category that came before that kept me from entering this arena… now I enter and find out it is the same.

[Animosity022]

Do you have a screenshot of your SABNZB category config and a screenshot of what you are entering in Sonarr?

[beardman]

“weren’t” should be “wasn’t”

Thank you. I missed that one.

Here is one search string I did on Google

I am sorry if I wasn’t clear. I meant searching these forums, not Google.

The posts YOU linked were mostly stale, but I had ALREADY…REMOVED TV AND TRIED THAT…

Yep, they were old posts. They also had the same problem you have, and at least one of them had the same misunderstanding that we are having here. The TV category does not need to be removed (it needs to be there); the TV sorting needs to be turned off, because it conflicts with Sonarr’s Completed Download Handling.

I know how to ask questions

Of course you do. I did not mean to imply that you didn’t know how to ask questions. I also did not intend the link to be an insult; though, it seems you took it that way. That document is an excellent resource. I have read it many times, and I still find it useful, especially as a reminder to limit my troubleshooting to the initial issue, rather than confuse the issue by trying to attack unrelated problems or problems that are actually symptoms of the initial issue.

I have cleared my log, and am allowing the new log to fill up with data

You don’t need to let the log fill up. Just clear the logs, turn debug on, recreate the error, turn debug back off, post the log. This should preferably be done outside of rss syncs, searches, or anything else that will put unrelated items in the logs.

@Animosity022 I leave the rest to you.

@YEN Good Luck

[Animosity022]

It’s case sensitive so you need to use little ‘tv’ as opposed to ‘TV’.

[YEN]

Was pretty sure I did that… and I did, still persists.

Wasn’t being a dick here, was testing while typing…

[Animosity022]

When you enter ‘tv’ and click test, you should see a link next to the red failed text, if you click on that, does it take you to your SAB interface?

Also, if it isn’t working with the ‘tv’. Can you turn the log up to debug, click the test and share that log with that info in it as that should provide more insight.

[YEN]

It wasn’t in categories, it was in “Sorting” Now when I press “test” SAB passes the test, but what does that mean for my TV shows, I hope that means that Sonarr will now label and fix the files.

[Animosity022]

So your screenshot was wrong?

The screenshot shows categories and ‘tv’ in the screenshot.

This would fix anything new that is grabbed by Sonarr and passed over to SAB to download something as the interaction between the two should be working.

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘label and fix the files’.

Is that a different issue ? Would you consider this particular item solved?

[YEN]

No, not completely.

So, NOW, SAB shows correctly without errors, however, the files are now being moved to their correct folder locations, but the downloaded files are not being resolved, and by resolved I mean deleted.

How was my screenshot wrong? You asked for a screenshot of “categories” but what you really meant and needed was a screenshot of the “sorting” tab. This is where I had “TV” and “MOVIES” turned on for sorting and labeling. When I turned it off, I asked if Sonarr would handle the correction of files by labeling them, which SAB (I thought) was doing in the “Sorting” tab.

So, Categories was misleading.

[Animosity022]

I was actually asking for categories.

If you turned on sorting and hit test, you’d get this error:

If you turn off sorting and had ‘tv’ in the categories tab like this:

Your test would work.

If you are looking for Sonarr to handle your downloads and manage media, you’d have sorting off. If you want SABNZB to do that, you’d have sorting on.

I think your screenshots were very accurate as you had “TV” instead of “tv” which is why the category error popped up as it is case sensitive.

So the question beckons, do you use Sonarr’s download handling or SABs?

[beardman]

To recap (Italics Mine):

I’m getting “Disable TV Sorting” in my download client Sabnzdb and an error when I try to test it.

You need to disable that in SAB’s sorting settings.

Also, my downloads are ending up in a completed folder, but not in the C:/TV folder and the specific show folder.

Perhaps because SAB’s sorting is messing it up for Sonarr, but debug logs will give us more info.

I’m messing with things while I wait to get a solution to my problem.

^^^Prior to this post, Sonarr wanted you to “Disable TV Sorting”

Right now, it appears that SABnzbd is not passing, when I click test, it fails and asks me to clear the category, but categories re set up in SABnzbd

^^^Here is the first mention of categories.

No matter if I have “TV” category entered or not, SAB errors out. When I remove the TV category, SAB tells me that it recommends a category.

When I click, “TEST” It says that “Category does not exist”

When I remove the category, “A category is recommended” and SAB still fails.

^^^This is a different error

Do you have a screenshot of your SABNZB category config and a screenshot of what you are entering in Sonarr?

^^^Animosity switches to help you troubleshoot the new category issue

The posts YOU linked were mostly stale, but I had ALREADY…REMOVED TV AND TRIED THAT…

Yep, they were old posts. They also had the same problem you have, and at least one of them had the same misunderstanding that we are having here. The TV category does not need to be removed (it needs to be there); the TV sorting needs to be turned off, because it conflicts with Sonarr’s Completed Download Handling.

^^^explaining the original problem

It’s case sensitive so you need to use little ‘tv’ as opposed to ‘TV’.

^^^still trying to get your categories back to were they were when you started

It wasn’t in categories, it was in “Sorting”

So your screenshot was wrong?

The screenshot shows categories and ‘tv’ in the screenshot.

^^^Animosity is thoroughly confused. Animosity was troubleshooting the categories error.

How was my screenshot wrong? You asked for a screenshot of “categories” but what you really meant and needed was a screenshot of the “sorting” tab. This is where I had “TV” and “MOVIES” turned on for sorting and labeling. When I turned it off, I asked if Sonarr would handle the correction of files by labeling them, which SAB (I thought) was doing in the “Sorting” tab.

So, Categories was misleading.

^^^Animosity was following you.
vvvStill confused. posts a picture of the error you had at the beginning.

I was actually asking for categories.

If you turned on sorting and hit test, you’d get this error:

^^^The error we started with.
Kind of feels like a variant of who’s on first, or There’s a hole in the bucket

@YEN Since that portion of everything is resolved (as far as I can tell–as well as the imports not importing), would you mind starting a new post for the downloads not deleting (with debug logs of an import that doesn’t get deleted and details about about which download client is having the problem and what your post-processing settings are)?

Good Luck
