Sonarr + Filebot + Qbittorrent

[deldran]

Sonarr version (2.0.0.4389):
Windows 10 x64
Description of issue:

So I have been using Sonarr for a while now, and it works great. I just recently have decided to switch to using File Bot to do any and all post processing, instead of having Sonarr rename and so on.
So my workflow is something like this 1.) Sonarr snatches the torrent file 2.) Via blackhole Qbittorrent picks it up and downloads 3.) Upon, completion Qbitt runs a script calling filebot to post process 4.) Filebot unpacks, copies, renames, downloads metadata and so on
The issue I seem to be having is sonarr doesn’t know when the download is finished which means it doesn’t update the calendar, and the shows with the new files.
Is anyone else doing something similar, in my black hole config, i have the folder where filebot is putting all the TV shows as the “watched” folder.

The issue I seem to be having is sonarr doesn’t know when the download is finished which means it doesn’t update the calendar, and the shows with the new files.

Sonarr will only update that immediately if it’s the one importing them otherwise it will take up to 12 hours (during the next series update and disk rescan).

You could use a script to tell Sonarr to rescan the series folder via the API after filebot finishes importing it https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wiki/Command#rescanseries (you’ll need to get the series ID from the API first).

If File bot is doing the importing make sure that the filename contains the quality in it, otherwise Sonarr will only be able to use the extension and it will be wrong if the default for the extension doesn’t match the actual quality of the file.
