I am trying to figure out the root file thing. I did a search, here, and there are, I think, 50 messages on that one.
What I need is really pretty easy - but confusing.
I run and use both Sonarr (TV) and Radarr (movies). I have two down loaders I use: Sabnzbdplus (files) and Transmission (torrents)
Here is the problem. I am not sure who is doing what. What I want to do is to download something which will, eventually make it to the source file for either TV or Movies. My problem is who is doing what, in this regard.
It all starts with Sonarr or Radarr. Both deal with their root files. The root files hold the shows (tv or movie) The TV file holds TV shows which are not in individual folders and the Movie file holds individual folder for each movie. (I have no idea why they are different). Both programs have indexers (which go out the internet and find out where the shows wanted are) In addition each indexer also has the name of the downloader which gets in the information from the program. Here is a confusion. each indexer also knows if its dealing with TV or Movies and this is determined by the downloader chosen. Whether TV or Movie sabnzbd+ is the downloader used. What is interesting is that sabnzbd+ also is the source of the ‘category’ and the ‘category’ has in address, in my case, of the root file. I am not sure if this is right, perhaps it should be where I send stuff not yet fully downloaded (incomplete), or perhaps they should go to ‘complete’, in any case sending files to the root file is wrong but how does the download get there? I actually have places for complete, incompleat, or TV (everything not TV always, in theory go to compete).
So, that was my first confusion. Now we move on to the ‘Downloaders’
I use two Downloaders - One for files and the other for Torrents. Each downloader also contains a ‘category’ so, are the Downloaders the real ones that move the files, that they have downloaded, to the source file or not.
I guess my basic question is that who puts the download, depending of the state of the download, where?
I am sure that somebody can tell me this. It would even be better to do it on a graph that shows who does what. I have been reading stuff for well over a week and it ends up simply confusing my elderly mind. I have a pretty good idea of what each stage does but how the download move is a mystery for me. I need to know, exactly, how to gell each step what to do. I think I haven’t done that which tends to make problems and then I come here with little parts of the problem when what I need to see and know is, exactly, who does what and how they know that.
Oh, my apologies. This was probably too long its my effort to try and clear up a problem.
Thank you…
