Sonarr will see the download as failed, mark the nzb as failed, then try another nzb until it has a good download or runs out of nzbs that fit your criteria. It depends on how many results your indexers provide and how strict your criteria are.

Hmm, that's not happening on my end. Instead of marking it as failed they just get moved to the very end of the download que, ~~can i mark it as failed manually or something like that?~~ Yep! Found it, thanks for the help.

What do i do when Sonarr/SABNZBD finds a download with missing archives and skips that download? I need it to go find a different download i assume, but i don't know how to do it.

Also thanks insularis for helping me with the mp4 converting thing and pointing me towards ffmpeg/scripts, i wanted to post and say thanks when i figured out how to do it, but i'm not quite there yet!

No problem, PM me if you need a little more help with the scripting.

You can configure it to have a minimum threshold before failing it. I set mine to 30%, just so I don't burn block accounts trying to get an nzb that only exists on a Finnish news server operating out of Latvia. If you set it to zero, it'll just go down the list based on the level your servers were set at, checking articles until it either has a statistically complete and valid sample for releases with par2 files, or a 100% complete check on files without par2.

It works amazingly well, and I'm really surprised it isn't baked into the default nzbget software yet.

Has anyone gotten the form or Basic authentication working for NZBHydra? When I enable it with a configured user+pass, it just seems to be ignored, even after restarting the service.

Edit - Ah, never mind, I needed to set the access restrictions to get the form auth to take effect.

No, there's a whole settings page for the Completion script and two of the options are "Servers" and "FillServers" where you can put in the index numbers of any of your unlimited/fill servers that you want to have checked.

The script will stop checking servers and start downloading once it finds one that has an acceptable completion %, otherwise it goes through the list in order until it either finds a good one or has reached the end of the list.

i need some automation in my process

I have a VPS in France that downloads linux isos that was pushed by sonarr using nzbget. After it downloads i run the list of commands to push the unrar'd folders to a rclone folder for post processing by sonarr

code:

mv * ../staging && cd ../staging && rclone move . "linux:staging/" && rm -rf * && cd ../linuxiso

Then sonarr would move the files to the right folder and then the file will magically show up on Plex. This is not girlfriend friendly and is not a smooth process as i need to log in and run the list of commands for magic to happen.

what is the best way to create a script that will move the folder to the rclone drive and then deletes the empty folder after it completes unrar-ing?

Cheers

How important would you say is it to have a secure Plex account password? The Plex server can only be accessed via my wifi, not via the internet or anything (i hope).
My current password is like all my passwords a long string of computer generated rng bullshit, but my new cellphone keeps signing me out of Plex every other day for some reason and it's suuuuch a loving hassle to type it in on that tiny keyboard with giant sausage carpenter fingers.

Plex has a spotty history of user security (their forums got hacked recently, and a bunch of Plex account passwords supposedly got leaked).

First, why don't you try using a password manager like 1Password or KeePass? These will store passwords and let you copy/paste them into apps instead of typing them in.

They also let you generate strong, but memorable passwords like "battery-horse-staple".

I don't think KeePass has deep integration with either Android or iOS, but you can always open KeePass, copy the password, switch back to Plex and paste the password.

How good is your bash? You should be able to take the commands you listed and turn them into a shell script pretty easily. Use `set -e` if you want it to behave like the && are behaving (stop/break if one of the commands doesn't return 0). Add the directory you want to run it on as your $1 argument. Add some error handling, maybe.

If you really want to automate it, make the script iterate over everything in your incoming folder and set a cronjob to run it once an hour or whatever.

Here's an move.sh script that I use to move downloads into a folder. Feel free to modify and improve it as you see fit:

        exit 95
fi

dest_dir="/target_folder/$NZBPP_CATEGORY"

if [ -z "$NZBPP_CATEGORY" ]; then
        dest_dir="target_folder"
fi

size=$(du -s "$NZBPP_DIRECTORY"|cut -f 1)
echo "dir size is $size bytes"
start=$(date +%s)

mkdir -p "$dest_dir"
mv -f "$NZBPP_DIRECTORY" "$dest_dir"
result=$?

end=$(date +%s)
duration=$(echo $(($end - $start)))
speed=$(echo $(($size / $duration)))

echo "Moved $NZBPP_NZBNAME of size $size KB in $duration seconds, an average of $speed KB/s"

if [ $result -eq 0 ]; then
        echo "move success"
        echo "[NZB] DIRECTORY=$dest_dir"

Well, it looks like you can install ffmpeg on a Synology, so changing containers shouldn't be hard. Basically just make a script that runs every so often that looks for .MKV extension files and pipes that result into
code:
ffmpeg -i %scriptoutput.mkv -acodec copy -vcodec copy out.mp4  && rm %scriptoutput.mkv
That way you're not transcoding the content and hammering your NAS processor, just changing containers.

Here's a Synology forum thread about installing ffmpeg that you can read through whenever their forums come back up.

Here's a little script to do everything in a directory:
code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -d "${1}" ] ; then
  cd "${1}" && for f in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -i "$f" -acodec copy -vcodec copy "${f%.mkv}.mp4"; done
fi
Save that as mkv2mp4 and
code:
chmod +x mkv2mp4
it to make it executable.

and then use it by calling:
code:
find /mnt/media/series/SomeDirectoryWhereYourMKVsAre -type d -exec ./mkv2mp4 "{}" \; && rm *.mkv
This took about 30 seconds to complete the conversion in a TV directory with 13 MKVs on my FreeNAS array.

So, just put command in a scheduled task or cron job (not sure how Synology handles those), and all your .mkv files will be converted to .mp4 every time it runs, and then the .mkv files will be deleted.

I'm working on this now and i have managed to install ffmpeg on the synology, but i'm stumped with the rest. I don't know how to make the script, i don't know where to type the commands you list here (can't seem to find a command prompt of any sort on the NAS) and also have no idea how to make it into a scheduled task (might not be possible? id be fine with just batch doing it manually tbh).
Would really love some more help! Depending on your timezone i might reply late, i'm going to bed over here now.

Sure, no problem, and if it gets too long-winded for the thread, we can move it to PM.

First things first, and I apologize if I'm making assumptions, but what you're going to need is an SSH connection, which stands for Secure SHell. It's an encrypted connection between two systems, usually used to provide a terminal to work on a remote system. Get a copy of PuTTY (an SSH/terminal connection manager program) from here.

Big fat warning ... you're interested, so I'm telling you, but it doesn't really sound like you have the background yet to be safely working in a root terminal session. If you don't understand something, stop. You can rapidly destroy everything from this window with one bad command.

Next on your Synology, go turn on SSH.

Log in with your admin username and password on the Synology, then open up Control Panel > Terminal and tick the �Enable SSH service� checkbox. Click OK and you're done! Now, run PuTTY, type in 192.168.0.6 , where 192.168.0.6 is the IP of your DiskStation. Choose the radio button underneath for SSH as the connection type. Press Enter, and you'll be asked for a username.
Use the username root. Then it will ask for your Synology password. Type that and press Enter.

Now, from that command window, that's where you'll be typing commands. To edit a file, the easiest thing to do is use nano, a very simple text editor that looks like it's included on the Diskstation. Type nano and press enter. You should see the screen change. Copy and past my script in that window, and press CTRL-O to save it. Give it a name of mkv2mp4.sh Press CTRL-X to exit nano. Type chmod +x mkv2mp4.sh. This tells the system to allow that file to run as a program.

I'm going to make you do some background research here, because I don't have a Synology to look at. You need to find the file path for the directories where your movies/TV are stored that you want to change containers on. Probably something like /mnt/share/movies/blahblahblah/blahblah.mkv for an example of a full path to one movie. I wrote that tiny little script with the intent of feeding it a directory, so for example (you must find your directory structure) you would run the command I gave you with an example directory like from my original post:

find /mnt/media/series/SomeDirectoryWhereYourMKVsAre -type d -exec ./mkv2mp4.sh "{}" \;

I've removed the && rm command from my original line, as that's going to delete files (the mkv's) and I want you to get the conversion one hundred percent functional and reliable before you delete anything. rm stands for remove in Linux land and it's a remorseless killing machine.

So, steps:

1) Turn on SSH.
2) Connect to the terminal of your Synology through SSH
3) Edit and save the script
4) Make it executable
5) Find your file structure so you can pass the script accurate locations on the disk
6) Use the command to feed the script the locations where you want every mkv turned into an mp4.

7) Once everything is verified working, start using rm in the command to remove the mkv's after they've been converted (copied) to mp4s.

To even install nano i have to have something called IPKG and to get that going i need to get the correct bootstrap for my CPU, i didn't manage to find the correct one for my DS218+ that is running Intel Celeron J3355.

So i tried to do it in VI by doing "vi mkv2mp4.sh", pasting in the script and going :wq to save and quit. But i can't seem to create/save files i think, i get a error that says ""mkv2mp4.sh" E212: Can't open file for writing".

DUDE!

Excellent work, and great job working through some roadblocks. I'm really glad it's working for you ... you'll find all sorts of uses for ffmpeg over the years, it's insanely powerful. And don't feel bad about buying a NAS, that underlying Linux system is almost identical to what I'm using (which is a full blown Linux VM, but the commandline concepts are the same).

A text editor should not require a manual to perform basic functions.

I'm running Plex on a Synology NAS DS218+. I'm not sure what you mean by client setup. The client(s) are wireless. I'm also not sure what you mean by local or remote, the NAS is in the same building as me connected wired to the router.

Edit: I wonder if maybe the bitrate is just too much sometimes. Cause the episodes that are below 4 gigs play fine, but once they hit 5 gigs it starts to act up.
