Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5085 Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 4.2.3 OS: Ubuntu 16.04 Description of issue: Alternative to Drone Factory
Hello, I am looking for an alternative to using drone factory if possible.
With my setup, files from SABNZB and Torrent applications are moved to a folder on my NAS when complete and I do what I need to from there (more than just shows and movies go to that folder). I have a sub folder under that called ‘Sort’ that I manually move some shows to, and that is the folder drone factory looks at to sort my shows in a seperate folder structure on the NAS. I dont always want to save the shows I watch, but if I do that is when I use the sort folder. What are my options?
Sonarr can use Completed Download Handling to import, but you won’t be able to selectively choose what to import. Depending on how things are configured you may need to add a remote path mapping or change where your download clients save things, but importing should not be a problem.
I have previously tried the Completed Download Handling function. Its doesn’t fit my needs, but I can get used to it if its the best option.
With that option enabled, Sonarr followed the path /media/NAS/Media/Shows/{Show Name} for all shows and sorted them there. My ‘workaround’ for that was to change that path for the shows I don’t keep to the ‘viewing’ folder and sorts it. I don’t need them sorted though as they wont be around for very long.
How would adding a remote path mapping or changing the download folder help?
The other option is to use a script to tell Sonarr to import something.
You may need to use a remote path mapping or change the download folder, depending on your setup. Since you previously had CDH working it’s likely you don’t need that (but I had no knowledge of that).
