Large manual "missing" import of multiple seasons / movies

2.0.0.5228
Server 2012 R2

So there was a hiccup with the interchange in Sonarr and I had to manually download a slew of content by dropping it into a watch folder that Transmission automatically picked up. The problem is all that newly downloaded content obviously is not picked up by Sonarr. I know I can individually per season or movie do a manual import but that would take a considerable amount of time.

Is there a way to more or less dig into the downloaded folder and have it find all missing files? Or even as a compromise, go to each show/movie and tell it “look here for missing content” and select the top level downloaded\complete folder and then have it properly migrate that content? From there if it could move the files into the properly sorted stack with the hardlink that would be ideal.

I’m really trying to avoid having to add each episode one at a time, that would take hours if not days. (There are 200 pages.)

Thank you.

Set the download folder to match Sonarr’s “category” (category for Transmission/Vuze is a subfolder) and Sonarr will pick up everything it can parse.

@markus101 Thanks for the response.

Not sure I understand. This will work for currently downloaded content? I can see a category working going forward.

I’m using the Linux Web Client of Tranmission, if it matters.I do not see a category option on the Tranmission side in any form.

It would, but you’d need to change the paths for each download.

Like I said for Transmission categories are actually subfolders.

@markus101 Changing paths for each download isn’t the end of the word – what should I be changing the path to then? Do I go to each show, change the path to something, then manually change that for each season to match?

Right now it’s transmission/downloads/completed

No. You don’t touch the series at all.

You need to change the path for each download.

From Sonarr’s Transmission settings:

Each download you want Sonarr to see needs to have a subfolder with that exact name. If it’s blank you’ll need to set it to something and update the path for each download.

transmission/downloads/completed/tv fro example.

Awesome, that appears to be working. Thank you.
