No files found are eligible for import Error Synology - Docker

Sonarr version (exact version): 20200409-16
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 5.20.1.34-13
OS: Synology
Debug logs: Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr
Description of issue: I have installed transmission in Docker behind a VPN following these instructions https://www.reddit.com/r/VPNTorrents/comments/900w78/xpost_rsynology_setting_up_the/

I then installed Sonarr on the Synology (outside docker) and set it up to download tv shows in Transmission. The download works great but it doesnā€™t rename and move the download to the directory Iā€™ve inputted. Iā€™ve read a few posts but I donā€™t understand what is being said (sorry Iā€™m new to this!). I have made some suggested changes in the images below but itā€™s still not working. I would appreciate any help!

I know I must be doing something wrong but I canā€™t get my head around it! Any help appreciated :slight_smile:

Kind regards

Edit: It might be worth mentioning that the ā€˜Downloadsā€™ folder is on Volume1 and the ā€˜Televisionā€™ folder is on Volume2. Not sure if that makes any difference but thought I should mention it.

Sonarr is running as a ā€œnativeā€ package, right? From synocommunity?
If yes:
Your download client running in docker reports the path it knows inside its own container: /Downloads. This path is not known outside, in syno land (the host).
You have to find the corresponding path on your syno, e.g. /volume1/Downloads, and set up a remote path mapping in sonarr.

To find this path, just go to sonarr and do a manual import, and browse to the location where the download is located. Note this path and cancel out of the dialog, you donā€™t need to actually do the manual import.

Now go into sonarrā€™s settings, and set up a remote path mapping. In v2 itā€™s not that clear, but the help texts should get you there.
The main goal is to let sonarr translate /Downloads into /volume1/Downloads so that when the download client reports the first path, sonarr knows to look for the files in the second path.

(
Small remark: neither the sonarr nor mono versions are actually the versions. Theyā€™re the package versions from (I assume) synocommunity.
You can find sonarrā€™s version in sonarr itself, in System > Status (possibly different name in v2). The mono version used by sonarr should also be noted there for convenience.
Second small remark: donā€™t think itā€™s needed at the moment for this problem, but do upload log files somewhere (pastebin or something) and link them here in the future when you have other issues. That helps a lot. :slight_smile:
Last small remark: this was a comprehensive question, good job with the screenshots! Iā€™m just a user but I have a support background so I know the pain of getting hundreds ā€œit doesnā€™t workā€ questions and one decent question every once in a whileā€¦

Hi Thirrian, thank you so much for for replying! Iā€™m added mapping but would you mind telling me if it looks right because Iā€™m still not sure itā€™s working! https://imgur.com/a/c19LUu8
The Host is the address for my Transmission download (minus the port number) and then do I have the folders the right way around?

Well call my Judy! Itā€™s worked!! :slight_smile:
I had to set the host as ā€˜localhostā€™ but itā€™s done the job and moved the show!

Thanks again for the help. Iā€™m so pleased!!
