Not picking up manually added files

it appears that nzbd has stopped picking up files which I have manually added to my scan directory. They have the proper naming structure, but they don’t appear to even show up in the log as being scanned.

Most of the scanning is logged to the file log (not the table in the UI), so long as they extension is a video file it will get processed.

Acceptable video files are here: https://github.com/NzbDrone/NzbDrone/blob/master/NzbDrone.Core/Providers/DiskScanProvider.cs#L16

yeah, verified, these are avi. specifically for the show ‘Through the Wormhole’. I’ve got the file named as such, S<season_#>E<episode_#>. For some reason this show above all isn’t being picked up. Any suggestions?

Not really sure what would cause that, unless its a permissions issue and NzbDrone can’t look inside the folder to see the files.

They are being placed in my root sab directory, along with all my other manually and nzbdrone downloads. It would be nice to have the ability to manually call nzbdrone to force a scan of my download directory. I didn’t find any useful details in the log either at this point.

so now i’ve noticed something else odd. For these files it appears to be copying the file, renaming it as a different episode (e.g. S04E04 becomes S04E03) and the file is left in the sab d/l directory. not exactly sure what is going on here.

Is there a mapping for it on thexem.de ? That would do it, but they should be moved (not copied) so they are deleted after.

NzbDrone scans that folder every minute, so there really isn’t a reason to manually tell it to scan.

There is a mapping (http://thexem.de/xem/show/633), although I am not sure I am understanding it 100% yet. As far as the processing, I’ve noticed that it doesn’t appear that any files are processed while nzbdrone is refreshing my other shows. since I do have a large library, it takes some time before new files appear to be processed.

Basically just follow the absolute episode number to see how they line up.

Scene S04E01 is S03E10 from TheTVDB. Given that there are mappings there, its possible NzbDrone is skipping importing them because the files exist on disk already, but it should be logging that in the Debug (file) logs, System -> Logs -> File

Specifically it logs this Trace level message: “This file isn’t an upgrade for all episodes. Skipping {0}” where {0} is the full source file path.
