Sonarr not downloading from remote server

I have an offshore seedbox. It’s running Deluge with WebUI.

Torrents download to /raid/downloading/ and get moved to /raid/downloaded on the offshore seedbox.

I have a local Synology NAS, which runs Sonarr, with media stored in on /volume1/Volatile/Multimedia/TV.

I have mounted with sshfs /volume1/Volatile to /media/NAS on the offshore seedbox
(i.e. if I ls /media/NAS on the seedbox, I will get the same results as if I ls /volume1/Volatile on my NAS)

Obviously, I want to download and seed using the seedbox rather than my home connection, but I want to copy downloaded episodes to my NAS whenever they become available.

In Sonarr, I have connected Plex and Deluge, and that part seems to be working OK.

In “Download Client (Advanced)” under “Remote Path Mappings”, I’ve added:
[seedbox hostname] /media/NAS/ /volume1/Volatile/

I believe this should work.
Family Guy S14E10 just came out, and it appeared in Deluge. Then, Sonarr wouldn’t transfer the file because:

family.guy.s14e10.720p.hdtv.hevc.x265.rmteam.mkv

  • No files found are eligible for import in /raid/downloaded/family.guy.s14e10.720p.hdtv.hevc.x265.rmteam.mkv

I can see on the seedbox, there is a file: /raid/downloaded/family.guy.s14e10.720p.hdtv.hevc.x265.rmteam.mkv' -rw-rw---- 1 deluge deluge 125869219 Jan 4 20:32 family.guy.s14e10.720p.hdtv.hevc.x265.rmteam.mkv`

I’m not sure what’s going on, why Sonarr thinks there is no eligible file. But now I’ve started thinking, how can Sonarr even browse this folder on my seedbox? I doubt the Deluge WebUI provides this facility and I haven’t told Sonarr how to connect to my seedbox. Should I have my sshfs mapped the other way around, i.e. mount a folder on the seedbox to my NAS?

Thanks.

The Remote Path needs to be set to /raid/downloaded/ and the Local Path needs to be set to a path that mounts that remote path via sshfs, you’re telling Sonarr where to import files from, which needs to map what the download client reports to what Sonarr can access.
