Seedbox / Move extracted files to new folder

[lordjynx]

I don’t usually use torrents but I decided to test out a seedbox. The issue I’m having is I’m wanting to extract files to a new location for sonarr but keep the originals intact. I got this working with scripts but Sonarr is still apparently expecting the video files to be in the original path… IE: It’s ignoring the remote path in my settings:

Error showing in Queue list:

I assume it’s because Sonarr is reading rtorrent’s path?

Based on the error message and your mapping it looks like you have the Remote Path Mapping configured wrong:

Not sure the screenshot was correct either

Anyway, the Remote Path, I’d like to be /whatever/completed/

Inside that, there would be Release.Name/blah.mkv

What is the correct Remote Path format? Should it match what the torrent currently has for the download path? If so, that won’t do me any good as I’m not wanting to point to the torrent files, just the extracted.

My current one is this and works… BUT, it’s the torrent path:

@lordjynx

What is the correct Remote Path format? Should it match what the torrent currently has for the download path?

Yes.

The Local Path can point to the extracted files as long as the folder structure is maintained.

[lordjynx]

So, would it need to follow the path of the remote?

/home/folder/downloads/tv-sonarr <–remote

local would be:

/data/seedbox/downloads/tv-sonarr/extracted ?

[markus101]

As long as remote path is the path the seedbox reports and local is local to Sonarr then yes, that’s correct.

[lordjynx]

I assume then that’s it’s best practice to just extract to the same folder so reduce headaches?

Thanks markus, as usual!

[markus101]

Doesn’t really matter as long as the folder structure is the same.

[lordjynx]

ok. rtorrent has a automove after download… that could potentially change the path to /whatever/completed. I’d just need to change the remote path setting to match the final destination then?

Thanks Markus! Finally get it… even though this is child’s play now… lol

I fixed it by doing the following:

The remote path is where sonarr’s downloads end up, and the local path is where I extract them with a folder with the release name. Thank you VERY much!
