Raspberry Pi with Transmission + Mac OSX with Sonarr = completed files won't transfer [SOLVED]

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.4326
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 4.6.1 (mono-4.6.0-branch-c8sr0/abb06f1 Fri Sep 23 19:24:23 EDT 2016)
OS: OS X
Description of issue:

Sonarr is not importing the files after download is complete with the Raspberry Pi, it returns

Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr: /mnt/torrents/torrent-complete/name_of_the_folder_just_downloaded

I believe it’s a permission issue between the Mac and the Raspberry Pi. I can’t figure it out and google wasn’t able to help on this. I tried changing several permissions/users, but I’m not too savvy with the command line and I get quite lost.

I can provide all the information needed, including screenshots or configuration files, does anybody wants to help? THANKS

Does that path actually exist on the Mac for Sonarr to import? If not you will need to mount it locally and setup a remote path mapping to map the remote path that Transmission reports to the local one so Sonarr can import the files.

Having Sonarr and Transmission on the same system would likely be easier though.

Hello Markus,

The mac has a working connection to the Pi via smb. I can move and copy file in it.
I have the path mapped as a “Remote path mappings” in Sonarr as follows:

I had previously the system configured all in the Mac, but I prefer that the mac is out from the VPN, and so I use the Raspberry Pi just to torrent.

The Remote Path Mapping looks fine, but the logs indicate that it’s not being applied. Is 192.168.1.45 set in the Host field of Sonarr’s Transmission settings? (They need to match for the Remote Path Mapping to work).

Is that Local path the location where the remote share on the rpi is actually mounted?

Post the full ((debug log)) (as requested when you opened this thread) and we can take a further look.

Yes they do match.

here are the logs: http://pastebin.com/AJHv7MFu

I got it solved, turns out I didn’t have the right settings in the remote mappings when I posted earlier.

I’m posting it for those that may have the same problem, as I wish it was clearer from the beginning.

Make sure you have an already connected volume (drive) that leads to the path that you are mapping, with an appropriate user to get read and write permissions.

The remote mappings in Sonarr need to be configured as follows:

Host: the hostname or ip address of the remote computer (like 192.168.1.45)
Remote Path: this is the path as seen from the remote machine (like /mnt/downloads/)
Local Path: browse the folders of your Sonarr machine and select the mounted folder of the remote computer

Thank you markus101, feel free to add thisr to the wiki or anywhere to explain the difference, something better written than what I did.
