I occassionally use Sonarr to import a batch of anime episodes that is downloaded on a seedbox and synced to a local server with BTSync. The folder is generally named with anime’s name and between 12 and 24 episodes are inside the folder.
The problem is that after the first episode is completely downloaded, Sonarr finds the episode, imports it, then deletes the parent folder before the rest of the episodes can download. I’m wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and figured out a work around.
Either use SSHFS or something similar so Sonarr can pull the files across or have a script trigger to scan the folder, don’t rely on Drone Factory as it will import what it finds and clean up.
Thank you for your message. I don’t use Drone factory. I use BTSync to bring the files to the local machine, and Sonarr to rename them and move them to the right folder for Plex. It works well when there is only 1 video in a folder. When there is more than 1 video, then after BTSync finishes moving the first one to the local machine, Sonarr finds it, renames it, moves it, and deletes the file and its parent folder before the 2nd video file can finish downloading. I will investigate using sshfs instead of btsync as you suggest.
