When trying to add an existing series, nothing shows, when trying to help it along i get "path is already configured as a root folder"

hey gang—

so, i’ve found similar threads, but none that quite seem to address my issue. i’m a former sickbearder (but i got better), +as some series were already complete+i was still learning sonarr, i didn’t add everything to sonarr. i’ve got multiple root folders corresponding to plex libraries. but slowly, when i find a show incomplete, i manage to add it to sonarr where the magic happens.

anyway, today, i go to add an existing show, but, none of the root folders are showing up. no problem, i’ll do it manually.

(all the while, the four dots swirl+swirl…)

but when i go to punch in the root of the shows i’m looking for, well,
• dots swirl
• nothing shows, and
• i get an error: ‘path is already configured as a root folder’

so, i’m stuck. i really don’t know what to do next.

can anyone hold my hand a bit?

First thing to look at would be the log files, there is likely something preventing Sonarr from displaying the current list of Root Folders.
