Sonarr version (exact version): Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): OS: Debug logs: Description of issue:
Hello I have been having problems like a few other users where my completed SABNZBD downloaded tv shows weren’t being moved automatically or manually. I was going to crazy trying to figure out why this stopped. However I figured out that if the files were stuck in the downloaded files area but not moved that I need to stop Sonarr and restart Sonarr running as administrator. Once I do that and have Sonarr retry it moves the completed file to the correct folder and location.
Is there a way to have Sonarr reboot and run as administrator each time it restarts? I am running a N100 mini pc as a server with all my drives connected by usb.
With UAC you can’t easily have Sonarr start itself as Administrator due tot he security implications of that, but really you shouldn’t need to run Sonarr as administrator more than once to register ports and create firewall rules.
What could be the issue if Sonarr will not move the files from Sabnzbd completed tv folder into a different folder where all the tv shows are? I am running two external hard drives. One for completed tv shows and the other external drive just holds shows that are sorted out.
The only way I get it to complete and move is to quit Sonarr and restart Sonarr as administrator then it would start moving the complete files over to correct drive.
Permissions, sounds like the user running Sonarr doesn’t have access to those files. If you have them in the User folder (which I believe SAB does by default) that is likely the cause.
