If you just use the right folder mapping then it will work fine.
Seems correct by what Iāve posted doesnāt it?
Only thing I took another guess at that might be wrong is for the sabnzbd download client. for the ROOT PATH, mine looks like this:
\SERVER\downloads\complete\
It works through explorer but not sure if thats what itās looking for
the LOCAL path where I can browse shows files in the folder so I know that works.
Again, given that the error shows /volume1/downloads/..., you mapping /downloads to /downloads obviously isnāt right.
Do you have a better answer? Iām here for help, Iāve followed the guides, just telling me āitās wrongā without providing anything else doesnāt really solve the problem. Iāve spent hours trying different ways with no definitive answer. No oneās fault, but for novice user that used to just install it like any other app, this is beyond frustrating. I mean everything else works except simply moving from downloads that are completed to the proper library. It doesnāt matter where that library is as Iāve tried others. The download client within Sonarr works and sonarr sees the files as a manual import works, so Iām having trouble understanding exacty what youāre suggesting. Again, appreciate you taking a look, I know no one is paying you for this!
As in it should be /volume1/downloads
It should not be this.
In fact, his downloads folder should go into the /data share.
That way instant moves and hardlinking will work.

You already posted the same link, you were ignored for a reason. Read the actual thread.
Ignoring the guide is what made his setup a mess.
Synology lied that you canāt make other share available for DLNA.
So just copying all his old content from /VIDEO or /TV or whatever into the /data/media would make Sonarr be able to see everything.
And adding /media as DLNA folder, would make his TV see the media as well.
Meanwhile Iām happily using Sonar v4 outside of Docker with zero issues which I avoided at first because someone claimed it didnāt work. They were wrong.
There are some permission issues with either setup, that much Iām sure of, I think I just got lucky as the system users created canāt be deleted easily and after a few install attempts, it finally worked with the old user name/ system user names.
The guides are great, but not perfect. I moved files, tested scenarios and between bad info and it not performing properly, I moved on. I do suspect thereās an issue with Docker on that particular system as after a few runs I couldnāt even login to Sonarr, this was consistent. Logs didnāt seem to offer much at all as to why anything was happening. The DLNA answer sounded wrong when I heard it but again, without the guidance, what was I going to do? Even now, how is that done exactly? I ended up moving the folders into the DLNA folder and now everything does what I want the way I want and I hope I never have to deal with this again.
Iām still confused with Docker in general, i thought the idea was portability and compatibility, then why can I just take someone elseās Sonar container and drop it mine with a few adjustments? I know, āreasonsā lol.
The goal should be to help everyone get Sonarr working, not I lectures and āI told you soā after the fact donāt you think?
