Yesterday I discovered Sonarr and became enamored with it. It is the PVR solution that I’ve been looking for, as I’ve explored the program there have been road bumps to achieving what I’m looking for.
My planned setup is to use Task Scheduler:
Asleep PC wakes up @ 7am
Through CMD Sonarr activates and manually refreshes Rss
Episodes download
Computer falls asleep again
3 problems have come up
Console: I haven’t been able to activate Sonarr through the Console; I’ve tried through the API and NbzDrone.Console.Exe but can’t figure out how.
Duplicates: Once my torrents are downloaded and imported, the files are in the designated Sonarr folder as well as the original folder they were put into by the Torrent client. (I have Remove activated in “Complete Download Handling”)
Auto-Download: Torrents don’t download automatically, I have to do automatic search for the episodes to download
Some other things I haven’t been able to figure out:
Browser: How to run Sonarr without it opening the browser (I only care about this option if Sonarr can be run through the command prompt)
uTorrent: Can Sonarr start Utorrent when it sends a download request
Renaming: Can the date parameters be customized so they don’t display the year, and can the other info parameters be modified as well?
I know these are a lot of different requests, but I’d appreciate help on any of them
Starting NzbDrone.Console.exe will run via the console, but you can’t interact with Sonarr beyond stopping its process.
They won’t be removed until seeding is finished, otherwise they are copied or hard linked depending on the option chosen in Sonarr’s settings and whether your setup supports hard links.
No, it needs to be a full date so Sonarr is able to parse it.
Check out the Commands API docs on our wiki, the command you want to use is RssSync and make sure you’re using the correct API key, thats the only thing that will cause the Unauthorized response. Curl should be fine.
Correct, once its finished seeding (and stopped) Sonarr will remove it.
