This is a bit long-winded, so here’s a TL;DR first… I watch and delete new episodes before NZBDrone does its next disk scan, causing episodes to still be listed as missing, even though they were downloaded.
Anyway, I’m a recent convert from SB to NZBDrone, and I love it - with one exception. Now maybe it’s because I’m not using it as intended - I don’t use it to keep an archive of shows. I use it to download new episodes, which I usually watch that same day or the next day, and I delete the episode.
Here’s how I currently have to operate with NZBDrone:
- NZBDrone finds and processes episode for me.
- I watch and delete episode.
- Now here’s the problem - the episode is still listed under the Wanted section as missing, because I deleted it before the next disk scan occurred.
- NZBDrone eventually scans the disk again and sees the file is not there, so it’s still listed as missing and is still being monitored. I don’t want it to be monitored because I’ve watched it, I’m done with it. This forces me to go into each show and either do an update/disk scan manually before I delete the episode, or mark each episode that I already deleted as unmonitored. Very time consuming and pretty much a deal breaker for me.
Here is what would make the most sense to me:
- NZBDrone finds and processes episode for me.
- When NZBDrone gets the episode, it immediately marks it in the database as downloaded, and then of course it would not be listed as missing.
- I watch and delete episode.
Is there some logistical reason that it doesn’t just unflag the show as wanted/missing as soon as it’s downloaded like SB does, as opposed to waiting up to 12 hours for the next full update?
Or is there a way to have it do a disk refresh only (as opposed to full series update) more often than 12 hours?
By the way, I do have “Ignore Deleted Episodes” set to yes, but again, if I delete it from disk before the next disk scan, it thinks it was never downloaded in the first place, so this setting never comes into play.
Thanks for any help or advice.
