Sonarr won't scan second time

Sonarr version (exact version): 4087
OS: win10
Description of issue (if you think you’ve found a bug please include steps to reproduce):
I noticed that, if sonarr has already scanned a file (using the completed download handler), it will ignore it from that time on. What I mean is, I had downloaded some episodes, and it hard linked them correctly. But then I deleted their hard links and when it scanned them again, it didnt link them again.I assume that sonarr marks files it has already scanned so that it wont keep scanning them, can I circumvent it?
Also, although episodes are downloaded, they remain monitored( or at least the monitored flag at the series page remains black), although it doesnt download them again. Is it a problem or is it the way sonarr works?

Correct. Sonarr uses its own history to handle this, removing the series and re-adding it should work as long as the torrents have the expected label on them (unlabled will not work).

This is how it works.

that did it. Thanks

Hm, I did it on american crime story and it added them correctly. I tried it on arrow and it didnt add them. I Just deleted the series (i chose delete all files) and added it again, while the episodes were on the proper label the whole time. I restarted utorrent/sonarr/pc in case that was the problem and nothing happened. Is there another solution? Is there a file I can direclty edit to unmark files?

If you deleted the series then Sonarr has no record that it was added. If its not processing it again look at the logs, could be failing to parse.

Not really sure why you’re going through this exercise though, seems a bit pointless.

this is what it says at the bottom of sonarr.txt:

Completed Download handling sgould have happened a few times(once per minute, plus a few manual, and the test at download client worked), but it doenst appear anywhere
I deleted and re-added the show because the first season wasnt added and i prefer to have everything organized in one place

You’ll need to enable debug or trace and check those.

Is it a multi season torrent?
How is the torrent named in the client?

If its multi-season, Sonarr doesn’t support them so it may not understand the naming, it may have previously linked the torrent in the client to episodes because it was grabbed through Sonarr, but with that history now gone it won’t be able to.

This appears on the debug txt when I force complete download handling:

16-4-18 16:33:21.1|Debug|Parser|Parsing string 'Arrow’
16-4-18 16:33:21.1|Debug|Parser|Unable to parse Arrow
16-4-18 16:33:49.5|Debug|Parser|Parsing string 'Arrow’
16-4-18 16:33:49.5|Debug|Parser|Unable to parse Arrow

no it’s an one -season torrent

If the torrent is simply named Arrow then Sonarr can’t parse it, it would need to be Arrow - Season 1 sometimes the name of the torrent on the indexer is one thing, but it shows up in the download client as something else, unless Sonarr can map it back to something it grabbed it will need to be renamed.

you are right, one torrent name is just “Arrow”. What is weird is that after deleting and re-adding the series and un-labeling the torrent nothing happened, but when I restarted my pc the files were linked (obviously not the season from that torrent)Anyway, I probably won’t mess with the links any more and wait for manual import hard links. Sorry for the trouble :slight_smile:
