Import problems for downloaded files

[Franck_MEYER]

Hello,

I run Sonarr on my Raspberry Pi to auto-download my files. My configuration is the following :

• Raspberry (IP 192.168.1.10) runs Sonarr

• NAS (IP 192.168.1.1.11) runs my download client which is Transmission. Downloaded files are stored in a Public folder on the NAS : NAS/shares/Public/Transmission/Downloads/ and when the download is finished I have a script running on the raspberry pi to create symbolic links on the Raspberry Pi /home/pi/kodi_simlink/TV Shows/ to the video files stored in NAS/shares/Public/Transmission/Downloads/

• Moreover, the public download folder is also mounted on the raspberry pi : RASPBERRY/home/pi/wdmycloud/Public/Transmission/Downloads/ --> NAS/shares/Public/Transmission/Downloads/

When I add a new TV show in Sonarr, I put as path /home/pi/kodi_simlink/TV Shows/NAME OF TV SHOW/ and when a new file is available in Sonarr the file is downloaded on the NAS and the symbolic link is created as wanted by filebot. The file is showed as “Grabbed” in the history menu, but Sonarr keeps downloading it as long as the Refresh Series task as not been executed by Sonarr (which runs every 12 hours…).

My Settings > Download clients parameters are below :

Completed Download Handling
Enable YES
Remove NO

Remote Path Mappings
Host : 192.168.1.10
Remote path : /shares/Public/Transmission/Downloads/
Local Path : /home/pi/wdmycloud/Public/Transmission/Downloads/

If I go to the logs when a download is finished I get following message

ImportApprovedEpisodes Couldn’t import episode /home/pi/wdmycloud/Public/Transmission/Downloads/XXX.mkv: Access to the path “/home/pi/wdmycloud/Public/Transmission/Downloads/XXX.mkv” or “/home/pi/kodi_simlink/TV Shows/NAME/Season 12/XXX.mkv.partial~” is denied.

Is there something I missed ? If I log in the raspberry pi with the user “pi” (which runs mono) I am able to create files in /home/pi/wdmycloud/Public/Transmission/Downloads/, so I assume there is no permission issue? Thank you.

Edit : to make things clearer, I do not want Sonarr to move my files. I have filebot for that. However, I want to see my episodes as downloaded by reading the symbolic links present in /home/pi/kodi_simlinks/TV_Shows/

I think I have found a workaround for that: just need to deactivate CDH because with the last update (3530) Sonarr uses download history to check whether a file needs to be downloaded or not. It seems to be the good thing to do when import functions in Sonarr are not used (I use a different workflow).

Can someone confirm that this is correct?

Another workaround would consist in running a command curl http://192.168.1.11:8989/api/command -X POST -d ‘{“name”: “refreshseries”}’ --header “X-Api-Key:XXXXX” after filebot has been executed to force refresh serie before the 12 hours delay.
