What am I doing wrong here?

Lately my Sonarr install has been fetching obfuscated NZBs through SABnzbd, which is normal, but instead of deobfuscating the files and moving them to my sonarr directory like it used to, it deobfuscates the directory the file is extracted to but doesn't rename the actual file. Sonarr has no idea what to do with this so I keep having to go in and manually rename and copy everything.

Am I missing a setting somewhere in SAB that changes this?

I've had that happen a few times. Sometimes Windows locks files open while it indexes it or some poo poo. Is your download/processing folder set to be indexed? I suggest turning that off if it's on.

Also there was some setting (can't remember, I'm at work now) in SAB about renaming folders. Turn that off, as it also causes Windows to lock the files or something. Once I did that, it was fine since Sonarr is the one to do the folder renaming.

Isn't it Sonarr that does the file renaming unless otherwise specified? If you look through the log files it will show you what was actually unrared. The setting in SAB used to be just "Job Name as Folder Name" which makes it seem like it's acting as intended. Sonarr has detailed settings about TV show file names.

NZBGet with VideoSort will solve the issue I think, I switched a few years ago and it's basically been zero-touch since then.

The one thing that confuses me with Sonarr is, sometimes you'll look up a show that doesn't get released quite under the same name (for example, a show title I was looking up had a $ in the name but the files had an 's') and it gives a heads up when searching saying it can't match that show to the series and it might not import. But, it was able to find it on an indexer with that name, so why would it get confused once it's downloaded? The files then imported automatically fine, but still weird. Think v3 might have fixed the issue but still has the warning for some reason.

e: just spotted something else I'm sure must be affecting other people with Sonarr.

Looks like a bunch of TV shows are coming through, possibly archived twice? First archive unpacks to the distribution folder with the normal RARset and a /Sample/ folder, but the system thinks there's nothing more to do and then tries to import the Sample (which triggers a halt if setup that way, because it knows something is wrong due to the filesize). So have to intervene and hand unpack the second set yourself to import. Happened a few times this week, but haven't had chance to investigate what was up.

What I'm having trouble with is figuring out the file structure / where things get saved to and when / how they are handed off between programs. For example Sonarr wants me to put in a folder when I add something I want to search for, but it wouldn't at that time let me put in the folder path that Plex would be looking at for its library.

To avoid programs bumping into each other use a different download directory from the final destination Plex wants. Define Download Client with a category for Sonarr/NZBGet such as "sonarrtv" which points to '/downloads/sonarrtv' and then have Sonarr move completed files to '/tv' or where-ever your series definition points to. Define a Connect that links to Plex, Sonarr will invoke the Plex library update when it has successfully moved the file to the destination point. Define Sonarr Media Management to rename the files to the spec you want that Plex understands.

What if I only use one indexer?
Hydra can be a little bit of a pain to set up and adds an additional potential point of failure, so if you only have one indexer and don't intend to add another any time soon it's fine to skip.

As I see it, if you have two or more indexers being used across two or more automation clients or two or more individual users then Hydra offers advantages. If you're one person using one indexer then it doesn't really offer anything other than some stats.

For example Sonarr wants me to put in a folder when I add something I want to search for, but it wouldn't at that time let me put in the folder path that Plex would be looking at for its library.
Here's my setup:
/mnt/pool/ is my 15TB btrfs pool
/tmp/ is just a folder on my root drive that gets emptied on boot

When I download something the files move around like this:

1. nzbget gets sent a nzb from wherever and saves it in to /mnt/pool/Unsorted/.nzb for dupe checking.
2. It loads this up and starts downloading articles to /tmp/nzbget
3. Once enough articles are downloaded to complete a file, it's decoded and placed in a hidden folder /mnt/pool/Unsorted/.incomplete/<category>/<post title>/
4. Once the entire post has been downloaded and passes PAR check it's extracted to /mnt/pool/Unsorted/<category>/<post title>/
5a. If it's TV, Sonarr tries to identify it and move it to /mnt/pool/Videos/TV Shows/Show Title/0Sx0E - Episode Title.ext
5b. If it's a movie, Radarr tries to identify it and move it to /mnt/pool/Videos/Movies/Movie Title (Year)/Movie Title (Year).ext
5c. If it's music, Lidarr tries to identify it and move it to /mnt/pool/Audio/Music/Album Title (Year)/D0T - Song Title.ext
5d. If anything else, or if automation can't identify it, it stays where it's at until someone either manually sorts it or renames it such that the automation can figure it out.
6. Plex looks in the destination folders from step 5.

The automation tools don't get to see any files until nzbget is done with them and likewise Plex can't see anything until the automation tools have done their thing. This prevents anything from jumping the gun and causing problems.

Technically I could improve performance on the extract stage by putting the incomplete stage on a different disk, and arguably the /tmp/ part could even be in a ramdisk, but I can't say I find myself waiting on it really ever.

Every revolution evaporates and leaves behind only the slime of a new bureaucracy


Thanks all.

What ended up happening is I wasn't understanding how the file paths handed off things inside the docker vs outside the docker so that was leading to a lot of stuff not working, and then once getting some stuff going it led to filling up the docker memory rapidly. Then I got it. Seems to be working now at least! I've been able to get a few shows and get them working in Plex etc.

There's some other general stuff I need to figure out now, ie how to get around bad epsiodes, not download the same thing over and over etc, but I'll try to figure that out for a while before putting in a bunch of dumb questions. Pretty fun though, built my 1st server and then did a whole bunch of new stuff to get this up and running.

I had kind of a weird issue yesterday. I was unable to login to my Qbittorrent Docker via WebUI. It acted like the password was incorrect, but I hadn't changed anything recently. All I can think of is that an update to the docker image messed something up. Anyway, I had to go in through the command line and delete the password line from the *.conf file and restart to get the default password. Just in case anyone has that issue.

Anyone familiar with OS X and Sonarr? I'm having a problem that's followed both on my FreeNas box and OS X. It's the same problem that was documented here, which was closed with no resolution:
https://forums.sonarr.tv/t/mac-sonarr-v3-folders-not-being-seen/22586

For both my FreeNas set up and my OS X set up, it will see the root but not anything beneath it. On the OS X folder I looked at the permissions, and it says "you can read and write" to the folder that has the TV shows and all other functions seem to work fine. Because Sonarr can't find the folder, I can't import or add new shows.

This might be the one where you need to add sh to the Full Disc Access list in the Security and Privacy pane of the system settings. I remember having to do that when I upgraded to Catalina recently and it got pissy about permissions.

I found the little guide I used. I’m not 100% sure if this is the exact issue I was having, but if you’re on Catalina there’s a good chance. Most apps you can just add easily enough, but because Sonarr runs via Mono it’s a little bit more involved.

quote:

As suggested by narmbrister in the original thread, it will probably help to grant full disk access to /bin/sh

For those of you who don’t know where to find this:

Open System Preferences
Choose Security & Privacy
Go to Privacy tab
Select Full Disk Access.
Click the +
Browse to your disk volume and then \bin\sh
(If you don’t see a bin folder you might need to press Shift+Command+. to toggle visibility of hidden files)
Click Open

That’s it. I think I didn’t even need to restart my computer.

You’ll have to do that visibility toggle Im sure, I did.

A thousand thanks! Had to search the shift + command + . because I wasn't getting it, but once I got there it worked!

In the meanwhile I loaded SickGear, which looks weird after using Sonarr for so long. I think I'm going to mess with both until I get my libraries where I want them before I add any indexers and see which one I want to go forward with.

Follow up on this. The latest releases of QBittorrent (at least the docker version) break Sonarr and Radarr. I had to roll back to a prior version based on the thread linked above. For docker-compose users, tag the specific version you want like so:

code:
services:

  qbittorrent:

I'm going for gasps.
I recently lost 6TB of data and working through the back fill of what I've lost and am coming up against a lot of takedowns.

Currently I have NewsDemon as my main and TweakNews as a back up. I was under the impression that this would be fine as they are different back bones, but the graphic a few posts back suggests that while they're on different backbones it's still the same parent company. Would I be better switching out TweakNews? Or because they're separated by US and EU servers are they okay to use in combination?

Is there a better combination of providers I can use?

Is it worth grabbing blocks from multiple providers or will I not see much of an improvement from 1 backup vs multiple?

I had a highwinds main and tweaknews fill too, curious if there's a real difference. I just switched my fill over to a totally different backbone/owner but it took just shy of 3 years to burn through my last block of 100gigs so I might not be the best judge.

A good amount of resellers have a trial a few gigs. I'd retry the nzb with a few trials and then switch my main off highwinds if needed if I hadta regrab a ton of things. Or try a different indexer and go that route instead, I've had times where only one indexer bothered to obfusticate before it was common and that was the only surviving upload.

Radarr now supports Custom Formats, in other words, you can make it prefer x265 (HEVC). Furthermore, once you've added one for x265, you can also set a custom format cutoff for it in each Profile. This can, in turn, mean you can update your entire library to x265 quite easily.

It's still working but I estimate over 150gb of space saved so far for my relatively small collection, with no noticable drop in viewing quality.

EDIT: I mean about 1tb saved. Maths is stupid and should change itself to match when I make a mistake

Yeah my rule of thumb is for new stuff I have it grab web rips then disc rips (and if it’s something I care more about - remuxes then 4K) then later on I’ll replace them out for 1080p HEVC files for my archive. With the right people at the wheels, I’ve seen stuff at 3-4gb that looks great still and all my clients can direct play it these days. I did a replacement thing too and yeah, some serious disc space came back with no super obvious quality loss.

Lots of my sitcom tv archive is now 720p HEVC too, which is perfect.

Jun 1, 2002
Actually that leads me to a point that I initially forgot, has anyone made Sonarr v2 prefer x265/HEVC in a practical way? I googled it but they have a pretty plain answer that they won't copy Radarr on this one.

Reading the same, how is Sonarr v3 these days, good enough for day to day use? (I could use the preferred words method, mentioned in the above link, to at least get some benefit)
