Manual Import fails - weird error

[Wisk]

**Sonarr version 2.0.0.5301
OS: Win7 64bit

This has been an issue for about a month (last update?) and has worked flawlessly prior to that. It’s giving a weird message in the log whenever I try import a file.

Couldn’t import episode E:\sonarr\Video.mkv: E:\sonarr\Video.mkv is not a child of E:

Thinking for some reason Sonarr no longer sees the sonarr folder assigned to import, I created a new import folder called Temp and received the same message.

EXCEPTION:
NzbDrone.Common.Disk.NotParentException: E:\sonarr\Video.mkv is not a child of E:

I’ve been troubleshooting this some more and have learned something. Apparently, Sonarr has a problem with importing from folders in the root. This only became an issue since the last update (I think).

I created sub folder within the import folder and this time, Sonarr picked up the video. However, it doesn’t make sense that it doesn’t work in a root folder anymore. Sonarr can clearly see the file when I go to select it for manual import but when it tries to import, it thinks the folder doesn’t exists. Hence, E:\sonarr is not a child of E.

This is fixed in develop already, it’ll make its way to master when we merge those changes.

You’re the man markus, thanks!
