What are the optimal settings for what I want to set up? Deluge / Win 8.1

Help & Support

I’m using a netbook for my plex/chromecast server so I can’t transcode. I have to copy every h264/ac3/mkv file from /Downloads/ over to my desktop using homegroup, ffmpeg it to h264/aac/mp4, then send it back to /Videos/TV Shows/Series Name/, where Plex picks it up. I’m fine with this for now.

What I want to know is what the optimal settings are for this setup. Basically I want sonarr to not care about my library, and just send future episodes to deluge, which will place it in /Downloads/. I turned off complete download handling but it’s giving me the error “Enable Completed Download Handling or configure Drone factory”.

Is this going to cause issues at some point? Say my computer is off when an episode is released, will sonarr skip this episode because it doesn’t have access to my library?

Sonarr doesn’t support fire-and-forget downloading, which looks like what you want.

Just an idea:
Configure sonarr to manage your files, enable CDH, and configure TorrentBlackHole in sonarr rather than Deluge.

Workflow:

  • Sonarr finds a torrent, and sends it to the “Torrent Folder” (see TorrentBlackHole config).
  • Deluge should be configured to monitor this folder.
  • Once completed, Deluge should be configured to move the completed download to a “to be transcoded” folder.
  • You do the transcode, however you want.
  • You drop the transcoded file into the “Watch Folder” (see TorrentBlackHole config).
  • Sonarr sees the transcoded file and sorts it into /Videos/TV Shows/Series Name/ where Plex can find it

Edit:
In hindsight: where are all components located?
