Sonarr not downloading wanted episodes automatically?

[mixolyd]

Hi,
I’m switching from Sickrage to Sonarr because Sickrage can be a bit buggy. I have everything setup, using BTN api, all media imported. I have a missing episode and I set it to wanted. I’ve been waiting for Sonarr to download the episode but it doesn’t. Even after RSS Sync was done. I click on the icon to set an episode as ‘wanted’ but Sonarr does not download the episode. If I click on the magnifying glass to perform search, then episode downloads. Is this functioning as intended? What is the point of marking an episode as wanted if Sonarr only downloads when you perform a manual search?

Thanks

I have the same issue as well.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere that it was a bug with mono on the current ubuntu kernel, what OS are you running?

I see these in the event log every ~30mins:

Message

An error occurred while processing feed. http://api.btnapps.net/: Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: Q. Path '', line 0, position 0.

This is a remote server with Bytesized, Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS

I think this is how it’s supposed to function, but I’m curious why. Is it to minimize api requests?

Sonarr doesn’t search for something if its wanted, it watches RSS:

Sonarr/Sonarr

BTN has been having a issues recently, both with their API and other aspects, when their API is not working properly you will get that error.
