My setup:
Sonarr is running on local win10 machine. Seedbox is remote (mapped to a drive through vpn and smb). Using jackett to load torrents from a private tracker. Said tracker releases split files. I use Deluge to automatically extract to the remote DroneFactory folder.
Now, sonarr will put .ignore flags to files because they still are in the download client. Although the files are completely unrelated to the torrent anymore. I wish to continue seeding, since I’m getting big ratio profit from the shows, and the torrent files are actually the rars, so no connection whatsoever to the real deal stored in the DroneFactory folder.
I must reluctantly remove the torrents from the client, thus unlocking the DroneFactory import. At this point they get downloaded.
What would you suggest I do, to have this happen automatically? I will eventually remove the torrents manually at a certain point, but I’d like to get the media files as soon as they are extracted.
Don’t use Drone Factory, use a proper download client in Sonarr with a Remote Path Mapping to map the path the seedbox reports to the local path that Sonarr can import from, then it will Copy or Hard link the files.
Really? Odd. I’ll figure out where that comes from. Doesn’t interfere with sonarr then.
Isn’t Deluge a “proper download client”? The remote path is mapped.
But, like I pointed out, the files come split from the tracker. As in multiple rar files. Like in usenet, which shouldn’t be new to sonarr…
Anyway, I’ve told Deluge to extract those files to a separate folder and configured it as the Drone Factory. How can I help sonarr detect the media files while continuing to seed the original split files. Most scene trackers use scene files as is.
Edit: I’ve experienced in the path that mapped folder works by copying the media file from the folder as to not to annoy the client. But sadly this is not the case here.
If Deluge extracts the files in place (in the same folder) then Sonarr will find them and import them, though it would be a copy/hardlink, not a move, but a post import script could be used to delete the video file (new feature in develop).
Sonarr doesn’t extract RAR files for usenet or torrents, we let the client deal with that:
It tracks whatever the client tells it to, for split releases it would track the folder, but for single files its either the file or the folder (depends on the client, some report just the file, others the folder).
