Wish Sonarr would touch the parent show folder on changes

[subzero79]

@kheldar

The script is definitely not executing, just watched as Sonarr downloaded a new episode of a show, properly imported it, and the parent folder was not touched

I would like to see the logs about that, if at least sonarr calls the script. You should see something like this in debug mode

15-11-24 14:58:38.0|Debug|CustomScriptService|Executing external script: /config/sonarr_rm_syncthing.sh

@kheldar

and I’m not sure what user Sonarr runs as

Sonarr usually runs as the current user that fires the executable in OSX. Anyway you can still check with ps aux | grep Nzb, if is not running as the current user logged that has the script then it will have problems since home folders in OSX are generally 700.

Same error I’ve been getting…

Seems like a permission issue to me but I made the directory world executable so, I’m confused.

[kheldar]

Oh I should add that Sonarr did import the show into the series folder this time, so that part at least worked.

[Budwyzer]

This seems like a lot of work just have the timestamp on some folders change.

Why not just use the built-in calendar, to see what has aired, and downloaded?

The ICal link works too. I put it into my work calendar once. That was fun.

[kheldar]

Because the whole point is to be able to see what’s new to watch when I’m browsing my content. The calendar is cute but useless since you can’t click anything to watch from the calendar. I like to keep my series folder sorted by Date Modified, which (if the script worked) would keep newly added shows right up at the top and I’d always be able to see what was available right now. The calendar is also useless because it doesn’t reflect a show that has been watched & deleted, so again… you can’t look at it and see what you have available to watch right now and what’s most recently added.

Are you using season folders?

I have my own reasons for season folders, but I would think if you disable season folders then the parent folder modified date should update…?

@kheldar

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: ApplicationName=‘/Users/media/Documents/script.sh’, CommandLine=‘’, CurrentDirectory=‘’, Native error= Access denied

Does the user running Sonarr have execute permissions on that script?

good point, and yeah that would certainly do the trick. I really like Season folders though so I’d rather continue using them.

@markus101

Does the user running Sonarr have execute permissions on that script?

I made it world executable so I would imagine so. Also if Sonarr runs as the primary user of the machine, then yes it has 777 permissions.

[markus101]

You could also try setting python as the executable and the arguments to the path to the script (Windows users had success with that).

[subzero79]

What about the top folder Documents? Or user folder media? If those are user readable only, sonarr will have access only if is running as user "media"
Home folders in osx are generally 700

I’m afraid I don’t know what that means…?

@subzero79

What about the top folder Documents?

Documents/ is set to 701

@subzero79

Or user folder media?

Set to 755

[markus101]

Path = python
Arguments = path/to/script.py

[kheldar]

But where would script.py be? I have no such animal. And “python” isn’t a path… is it? How would the Mac know what “python” means?

Also why does the test pass in Sonarr if there is a problem accessing the script?

[markus101]

@kheldar

But where would script.py be? I have no such animal.

I meant /Users/media/Documents/script.sh… but its not python, just a shell script.

@kheldar

And “python” isn’t a path… is it? How would the Mac know what “python” means?

python is installed on the Mac, its an executable, but I see that you’re using a shell script, so never mind!

@kheldar

Also why does the test pass in Sonarr if there is a problem accessing the script?

All Sonarr does is check if it exists, it doesn’t try to execute it.

[subzero79]

Ok, now who’s the user running sonarr?
I would try a more friendly readable location like /opt/script.sh

Python is included with osx.

[kheldar]

@subzero79

Ok, now who’s the user running sonarr?

No idea, how would I find that out? It doesn’t appear in Activity Monitor.

@subzero79

I would try a more friendly readable location like /opt/script.sh

OK I’ll move the script there and see what happens.

[kheldar]

Well that was a bust. Sonarr (again) failed to even import the show after downloading. Wish I could figure out why it’s so inconsistent with its download handling.

FWIW, here’s what the logs say about it:

EpisodeSearchService	Episode search completed. 1 reports downloaded.	1:54pm

[subzero79]

That doesn’t said anything about failed import. That’s torrent grab sent to the client.

[kheldar]

I know, my point is that there is nothing else regarding that episode at all. Sonarr simply silently fails to import it. An hour ago I tested it again, deleting all traces of that episode and downloading fresh from Sonarr. Same thing… episode downloaded and is sitting in my Completed folder, but Sonarr never even attempts to grab it. No idea why.

This is getting extremely frustrating. Everything worked great for the first couple weeks and then it’s like everything fell apart. What else can I do to get to the bottom of this?

[markus101]

Look at the log files, specifically with debug logging enabled, its much more verbose.
