Sonarr not picking up downloads from qbit

Sonarr version (exact version): 4.0.16.2944
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): .NET 6.0.13
OS: Debian 12, running on Docker
Debug logs: PrivateBin
Description of issue: In short, I had a hardware failure the other day which forced me to recreate my btrfs pool. All the sonarr/radarr/qbittorrent stuff was saved so I exported the torrents and re-added them back to qbittorrent to their respective categories. However, sonarr is not picking up most of the torrents in its category. Out of 1149 torrents, it looks like it picked up ~10, and those 10 are showing the incorrect state as sonarr says its queued but they have been finished for about 12 hours now. This could be a permissions issue as I sort of forgotten how I set it up originally, but I can see the torrent directory + files from the sonarr shell. Logs shown are when I click refresh on the activity tab as I am not sure how to show the error I am having.

Folder structure:

/mnt/pool$ ls -la
total 20
drwxrwsr-x 1 newbjumper  mediarr   26 Feb 11 08:01 .
drwxrwxr-x 3 newbjumper  mediarr 4096 Mar 30  2025 ..
drwxrwsr-x 1 plex        mediarr   16 Feb 11 08:03 media
drwxrwsr-x 1 qbittorrent mediarr   60 Feb 12 17:19 torrents

Sonarr and radarr have /mnt/pool:/data mappings

I just tried adding a new torrent that has not been downloaded previously to qbit and that is getting detected, so perhaps I need to delete the download history or something?

Found the solution on the Sonarr discord.

To fix the issue where the torrent isn’t seen in the queue:

  • Delete the series from sonarr
  • Re-add the series to sonarr
  • Restart sonarr
  • And now it imports correctly
