How to scan "Downloads" folder

Hello, I am trying to set up Sonarr on my Synoligy NAS and am having trouble getting it to catalog downloaded content. It finds and adds all the shows that were previously catalogued (by SickBeard) but I can’t seem to get it to catalogue new material I download myself.

Can anyone point me in the right direction??

Note: I’m not trying to instruct Sonarr to actually download anything yet, just get it to catalogue shows I already have in my “downloads” folder, but not yet in my “/media/tv_shows” folder.

In an attempt to try getting it to work I did try adding Download Station as a “Download Client” to see it that might help :man_shrugging: however I get the error:

Unknown exception: Failed to login. Reason: Blocked IP source

and I wasn’t able to work out why, so gave up as I was just trying it as a guess in the first place.

I seem to have got the impression that you never really tell Sonarr where to “look” for downloads, rather you inform Sonarr that new downloads are available, but I can’t workout how to do this.

Oh, wonderful. That’s worked perfectly!

Thank you: :slightly_smiling_face:
