Hi,
I am tracking multiple TV shows and this is happening to all of them. I have torrentleech as indexer and trasmission as download client. I have set up a custom “HD-1080p-WEBDL” profile and as I am interested in the “WEBDL-1080p” quality only I have selected it as the only quality and cutoff.
So whenever a new episode with the desired quality shows up in the indexer (real example: “NameOfTVShow.S04E04.1080p.WEB.X264-METCON”), then Sonarr will download it as expected. However, it seems that after the download Sonarr still keeps looking for future versions of that episode as in the calendar the episode still shows up in purple and in the episode list of that series the bookmark icon next to the episode number is still filled, the status is purple and on hover it shows “Episode downloading 100%”. And whenever a new release of that episode with that quality appears Sonarr downloads that as well, which is not wanted and damages my seeding ratio (yes, I seed every downloaded episode indefinitely).
So I would want Sonoff to download an episode with the desired quality (“WEBDL-1080p”) once and then stop looking for future versions of that episode. Can someone please help me out with this one?
How Sonarr finds episodes is covered in the ((FAQ)), it’s always watching even if the cutoff is met due to the nature of how it finds them.
That means it’s still downloading and Sonarr doesn’t see an episode file for it on disk. Until it’s imported the cutoff is never met as the file is missing.
Episodes are not unmonitored when the cutoff is met, this is expected.
Figure out why the episodes aren’t being imported and correct that otherwise Sonarr will keep looking.
Thanks for the reply. Alright, I see - so you’re basically saying that even though Sonarr is able to talk to Transmission and successfully initiate a download, for some reason Sonarr is not able to see the downloaded episode folder (which in turn contains the name.r00, name.r01, name.r02, name.r03, etc. part files of the episode - torrentleech always splits up the video file into multiple rar files), so it cannot import it, so it is still looking for new versions of that episode.
I looked through all Sonarr settings for last 20 minutes, but I cannot seem to figure out what could be causing this. Could it be the fact that there is not a single video file, but rather chunks of rar files? Has anything like this happened to anyone? I am pretty much stuck.
