Keeps re-downloading after delete

Help & Support
1

Hello,

I was really excited a few months ago to find a good replacement for SickBeard. But i really can’t work something out.

I have my series set up, and they download fine, but I don’t want the TV shows after I watch them for space reasons. So, I have the “Ignore Deleted Episodes” checked. But now I keep getting many “missing” episodes re-downloaded. Can’t work this out.

Also, I am on OSX and it seems that the Database keeps getting corrupted, as Sonarr sometimes refuses to start-up. I have to delete the database, copy an older back up from my Time Machine backup To get the Sonarr working again.

Am I missing something from the process? I didnt seem to babysit SickBeard like this?

Thanks for any assistance.

Sonarr will only ignore (unmonitor) an episode if it was deleted after Sonarr was aware of the episode file being present (either imported it itself or saw it during a refresh), otherwise its considered missing.

Which version of Sonarr are you running?
Which version of mono?

Thank you for your email.

These were episodes that Sonarr originally had sent for download, and I watched, then deleted. But then they were all re-downloaded.

I am running from the OSX app master (not mono).

Thnak you for your input.

I need the exact versions of SOnarr and mono (it still runs under mono).

Did Sonarr actually import them to the series folder (Sonarr should them with a file on disk)?

What does Sonarr’s history show for one of these episodes (screenshot please)? If you click on the episode then Activity it will show the history for only that episode.

Version is 2.0.0.3004

Heres is a screenshot of one that re-downloaded

Thank you

The episode is still monitored, either Ignore Deleted Episodes is not set or a database restore reverted the monitored state.

What reason does the delete entry have? (Hover over the ‘i’ icon)

This is what the deleted entry says: “Sonarr was unable to find the file on disk so it was removed”

Here is the screenshot of my settings showing Ignore Delete Episodes.

Thanks again

When did you turn on ‘Ignore Deleted Episodes’?

probably 6 months ago

I’m wondering why in the top left the bookmark icon indicates it’s still being monitored.
Can you delete the episode? See what happens with the bookmark after the series gets refreshed?
