Unmonitoring grabbed episodes

Hi guys!

I have an issue where episodes that are grabbed are not unmonitored. They will unmonitor if the episode is sorted and found in the show folder where my saved episodes eventually end up. I keep episodes in my sabnzbd download folder until I am finished with them, then sort them later using the drone factory folder. However, I do not want to save every episode I download.

Is it possible to unmonitor an episode once it is downloaded?

Thanks :slight_smile:

They’re not considered “downloaded” until they are imported, so even if we unmonitored them on download it wouldn’t fit with your process.

If they are imported and later deleted drone would unmonitor them automatically if “ignore deleted episodes is set”. There is no other circumstance in which they will be unmonitored automatically.

This request on trello would fit your requirements I believe: https://trello.com/c/PRYBRH2h/498-fire-and-forget-downloading

That would be perfect for me!

Is it possible to import the episodes without having them moved?

Alternatively, is it possible to have NzbDrone run a script when finished? I could update the episode in the sqlite db with it.

No, thats not possible and not something we’re considering to do.

You could have SAB run something, but it would have to figure out the correct Series and the correct episode to either update it via the api or sqlite.

Alright. Thanks for all your help and hard work. :slight_smile: You rock!
