Hi
I’m new to sonarr so please bear with me.
I am trying to import a series that is already on disk. I select the path to the parent folder, containing 3 seasons. Sonarr imports it but incorrectly identifies it.
If I search the show directly, select it and then try scanning the drive nothing’s found. The episodes are named as show name S01E01 etc and are correctly detected by Plex.
How do I get sonarr to see the 3 seasons that are on the drive as what they are?
I’ve imported several other shows without problem
You can override the series Sonarr detects when you’re adding an existing series in the event it gets it wrong, you just need to view all the results for it and search for the title again.
Of you want to add it via the new series dialog make sure after its added that the path matches as it likely doesn’t (likely part of the reason Sonarr wasn’t able to match it correctly when you added it as an existing series).
Ok, so, I tried adding it via both methods again, no change. If importing, it was identified as God’s Quiz, 3 seasons of, no other option.
I then removed it, re added as a new series, set the path to the existing folder (within the edit dialogue window) as usual, with no change. I then renamed the parent folder on the disc and edited the path in sonarr to match it and bugger me, it found it.
I had tried renaming when it originally failed with no result.
The path as previously tried had to be right as I was navigating to it and selecting from within sonarr. Why it now works is a complete mystery.
