Importing question

Hello, quick question about download importing. I use syncthing to sync content from a remote server to a local server, and Sonarr is configured with the appropriate folder redirects accordingly.

My question is, when sonarr requests an entire season or more of a show, is there anyway to tell sonarr to keep scanning the pickup folder or build in a delay profile for pickup? Reason being when syncthing begins to sync a show it will sync one file at a time. When sonarr sees valid content in that folder, even if only 1 of X episodes, it imports it and thinks that’s all the content, so it marks the torrent complete before the other episodes are finished syncing/importing, or at least that appears to be the case from what I’m seeing.

I checked with syncthing devs and there’s no way to tell it to sync entire folders at once, so I figured it can’t hurt to ask on this side.

Thanks in advance!

Probably needs a little scripting…
You need to ensure that sonarr only sees that folder when the sync is complete.
E.g. do a (slow) sync to the device where sonarr is running, to a temporary folder sonarr can’t see. Then do a move (which is instant on the same volume) to the folder where sonarr expects to pick up the files.

Not sure what your downloaders’ capabilities are to run a script when content is downloaded, but ideally you’d let the client be in charge. A halfway decent one won’t mark the download as complete until any scripts have completed, so sonarr won’t try to import “too soon”.
