Just switched from sickbeard and it’s a huge improvement.
So in SabNZB, I have a category called TV which has a folder\path of D:\TV Shows. Processing I put as +Unpack (it would be nice to delete all the extra crap after extracting if anyone knows how).
In Sonarr I add my TV shows (eg, I add rick and morty, says the path under the series is D:\TV Shows\Rick and Morty). So I manually go and download last weeks episode through sonarr and it works fine, grabs the episode and throws it to sab which downloads and moves it to D:\TV Shows and leaves it in the root directory opposed to moving it into Rick and Morty. I have my drone folder set to D:\ because every time I try D:\TV Shows i get the error: “Path is already configured as a root folder”
Don’t use the drone factory folder, but turn on Completed Download Handling.
You have set it up with Sickbeard in mind, but Sonarr has a much better integration with the download clients. Everything is done through the API’s, not by monitoring the destination folder.
From your description it also looks like you’re mixing the path where Sab places completed downloads and the path where sonarr moves/renames/sorts files to.
Ideally you need 2 folders, something along these lines:
D:\Sab\TV\ where Sab places completed TV downloads
D:\TV Shows, and let sonarr handle the file move from D:\Sab\TV\ to this location. As Mirx_NL suggests, the easiest to do this is to use Completed Download Handling
Both folders should really exist next to each other, not inside each other.
Hey there! I’m kind of having the same problem. All my directories seem to be ok and the same. But for some reason after the files have been downloaded, Sonarr does not move them or copy them. Status in history remains “Grabbed”. I’m on OS X, so I wonder if there is something I didn’t do while installing it.
Anything special in Activity > Queue? Items with an exclamation mark or other icon indicating an issue?
Anything errors in the log files, e.g. permission related?
Which usenet/torrent client(s) do you use?
Are the downloads listed as complete in your download client (check in the download client directly)?
I don’t know… a lot of questions, but many possibilities so we need to know a little more about your setup.
Hi and thanks for the reply!
I’m using Transmission as my torrent client. All downloads are complete and in the “Downloads” folder of OS X. Activity > Queue is empty. I tried to manually import the files from Wanted > Missing > Manual import and the Import worked fine. My files are downloaded locally then moved to an external hard drive. Since they managed to move manually, I take it that it’s not a permissions issue.
Is there a way to delete the contents of my completed folder through sonarr? otherwise i think im going to make a nightly batch script to delete the contents in completed.
