Sonarr v3 (latest) will not import shows and cannot see manual added shows

Sonarr version 3.0.6.1265: 3.0.6.1265
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows):
OS: Windows
Debug logs:
Description of issue:

  1. I had this problem before when I beta tested v3 and it’s back.
    I upgraded over my v2 version which worked flawlessly, even after restoring after the last v3 attempt.

When a new show downloads, it sits in my downloads folder! It does not move to the proper location for plex to see it. I have no clue why it is doing this.

  1. Also I have tried to manually add a new show in which I already had 4 previously downloaded episodes and sonarr v3 cannot see the 4 files sitting there.

I have my files in x:\TV Shows\Tv Show Name\Season 01

what setting do i need to fix to get v3 to work like v2?

thanks!

Without these, I’m guessing permissions.

apologies! I will get these…

you are correct! I just turned on debug and i see perm issues… hmmm… sonarr is installed on C: but the downloaded files and media are on separate drives… where is the perm issue coming from?

So sonarr is running as “LOCAL SERVICE”… hmmm…

I changed the service to run as LOCAL SYSTEM temporarily instead and now it is working properly (I have a feeling sonarr v2 was like this).

Once I figured out the issue it was easier to search for answers… because I upgraded from v2 I did not have the option to choose how it starts… I found a forum here that clarifies this, so hopefully this thread helps the next person:
