Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.8.1507 Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 5.20.1.34 OS: Ubuntu 21.04 Debug logs: Description of issue:
I have set up sonarr and sabnzbd. Sometimes episodes are being downloaded twice.
The Flash (2014) S08E17 Keep It Dark [WEBDL-720p]-GOSSIP.mkv
But sometimes there are duplicates being downloaded and two files end up in the season-folder, one named
The Flash (2014) S08E17 Keep It Dark [WEBDL-720p]-GOSSIP.mkv
and the other
The Flash (2014) S08E17 Keep It Dark.mkv.
Weird thing is: Sometimes the file sizes are different. In the above case the one without the suffixes (quality and release group) is 1,3GB, the other 2,5GB. The smaller one with the suffixes is the one which was downloaded 2 hours later. But thats not always the case, most times the filesizes are identical.
So I guess it must have something to do with either sonarrs renaming or the upgrade mechanism (or both), cause in the shows’ profile I’ve setup an upgrade to “BlueRay-720p”? I thought it might be a problem with permissions, sonarr not being able to delete an old file when grabbing an upgrade, but I didn’t find any permission errors in the logs.
There isn’t anything else which could do that. This duplicates first started to appear when I changed my naming scheme to the one above, with quality and release group in the filename.
TV Renaming can’t be enabled when using sonarr. Sonarr does notify the user to deactivate sabnzbds renaming function (and it is deactivated for me). Also it would have produced this error before, not since I changed the filename scheme in sonarr.
There is no other sonarr running. Theres only one Heimdall, one Sonarr, one Lidarr and one Radarr-container running in the docker stack.
I will take a closer look at the debug logs, but I couldnt find anything so far.
The Import of the downloaded file happened at
2022-06-23 09:00:45.0|Debug|EpisodeFileMovingService|Moving episode file: /downloads/Star.Trek.Strange.New.Worlds.S01E08.1080p.WEB.H264-GLHF/star.trek.strange.new.worlds.s01e08.1080p.web.h264-glhf.mkv to /storage/tv/Star Trek - Strange New Worlds/Season 1/Star Trek - Strange New Worlds S01E08 The Elysian Kingdom [WEBDL-1080p]-GLHF.mkv
Just one grab and one import from Sonarr, that other file isn’t coming directly from Sonarr, only other thought is a Custom Script in Sonarr that is duplicating the file.
And yes, Sonarr doesn’t want TV renaming enabled in SAB, but people have managed to ignore that warning and re-enable it after adding SAB to Sonarr.
There is no custom script set up in sonarr. I just installed it as a docker container and set up mandatory stuff. Sabnzbd-Sorting is disabled. Theres nothing I changed, except the renaming to include “Quality” and “Release Group”. I’ll remove those two variables again to test.
I found another case of this weird behaviour, this time with different downloaded files of the same episode:
History shows one file that should be there, the previously downloaded HDTV 720p release was removed before importing the WEBDL 720p release (if the delete failed Sonarr wouldn’t import the replacement).
The two files there aren’t the same so I don’t think removed quality and release group will do anything other than have the file names conflict which might prevent the duplicates, but could also just cause whatever is trying to also import files to fail thus “fixing” the problem.
