Sonarr version (exact version) : 1.1.9
OS : TrueNas ElectricEel-24.10.1
Description of issue
I use synching to transfer files to my sonarr downloads directory. Syncthing creates a .stfolder directory which sonarr then tries to import and there’s no way to remove it from the queue without breaking synching. Is there any way to ignore the .stfolder directory in sonarr?
You should set the ignore patterns on your destination Syncthing. My patterns for Sonarr are:
.stfolder
*.meta
/.rar
/.r[0-9][0-9]
Thank you for your reply, unfortunately, that didn’t work for me. When I add .stfolder to the synching ignore pattern on the destination folder I get an error saying that it’s missing and transfers stop.
Bummer, guess our setups are done differently.
My workflow has been rock solid for over a year now. I have rtorrent unpack any .rar’d files and with those filters Syncthing only pulls down what Sonarr needs.
I’d keep looking at the settings in Syncthing. Best of luck!

It sounds like you’re using Torrent Blackhole for the download client, what’s the reason to do that instead of a fully integrated client?
yes thats correct, I’m using torrent blackhole, that’s what I found worked best for me but I’m open to other suggestions. My setup is sonarr/radarr on my local truenas using torrent blackhole, syncthing transfers the torrent to rtorrent watch folder on remote seedbox, syncthing then transfers completed download to local truenas, unpackerr unpacks it and sonarr then picks it up and deletes it from the download folder but the copy on the seedbox remains. With me having a local server and a remote seedbox, that was the only way I could think of keeping the data separate and having full control of the data on each without one affecting the other.
Sonarr direct to rTorrent on the seedbox should work just fine, then you’d sync your files back to the local system and use a Remote Path Mapping in Sonarr to tell it where to find the files. Since Sonarr doesn’t know the local files are a copy it will hardlink/copy the files, but a script to delete files after importing would be able to clean things up quite easily.
