Ive looked at various tutorials and post but my Sonarr isnt doing what I want... Hopefully someone can help me

 

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here it goes:

So ive been using unraid for a while now including the docker containers and I jsut cant get this quite right...

So, I want to download a series called: Example

Sonarr is set to create season folders, which it sort of does... Its creating the root folder called Example but whats happening is that it just downloads the series folder/episode individually into my selected directory but doesn't move to that root folder automatically.

Im hoping your all following what I am trying to explain.

Here is an example:

Ive tried many different combinations but no luck, here is how my system folders are set out on unraid:

Sab Settings:

Sonarr Settings-

Your downloads folder should be a separate share that is shared with NZBGet or SABnzbd. I personally use NZBGet. Once downloads are complete Sonarr moves the files to my media share, cleans things up, and then communicates back to NZBGet.

Just so you can see, this is my Sonarr:

 

And my nzbget:

Just to be sure, do you have completed download handling setting enabled in settings>download clients?

I did have them separate shares but it didnt make any difference so thats why i moved it to the same share. And it is putting the downloads in the correct place of TV, just not into the root folder i.e. Big bang theory as the root, it places other episodes or seasons outside of that folder. Like my screenshot.

Yeah:

I think the problem is that the /download path in Sonarr does not match the /download path in Sab. Try changing it to match what you have for Sab.

Just changed it and tried again, sadly its the same thing. Its not putting the download in the correct, already existing folder.

Its put it in the correct share, but not the correct folder?

EDIT: I appreciate the help by the way.

What did you change it to? SAB shouldn't be downloading directly to your TV folder if that's what you are doing. The 'downloads' folder has a specific file structure that Sonarr uses. You should be using the Media Management settings in Sonarr to properly rename the downloads.

It is a separate folder just within the plex media share, that is not its final resting place.

Here is how it is set-up:

/mnt/user/plexmedia/downloads - This is the folder that contains a complete and inter file used for Sabnzb

/mnt/user/plexmedia/TV Series - This is my TV series location

/mnt/user/plexmedia/movies- This is the place for movies.

 

Currently it downloads an episode, puts it in /mnt/user/plexmedia/downloads/complete, then sonarr auto moves it to the correct location (/mnt/user/plexmedia/TV Series) however it isnt placing it in the correct folder once its moved to the TV location i.e How to get away with murder (like the above screenshot)

I did have it set-up previously to download to a completely different share but it was doing the same thing.

Then you need to look at your "Episode Naming" settings. Just for example, this is mine:

Here are my advanced settings:

Im driving my self insane... Tell if im wrong but yours and mine look the same right?

Its weird because im sure my settings are correct but there must be something im missing?

Almost, I don't include the quality in my naming. But Plex ignores anything after "SxxExx" anyway.

 

The only other place to look is in your specific series settings. When you add a series it should point to just "/tv/". If you need to change an existing series make sure the path is where you wish it to be.

If I download something new it will have a path of /tv/

If I click on the series in sonarr it would then say /tv/example

But the episodes still dont go in that folder it is specifying?

I love UnRaid and sonarr/radarr but im dying a little inside now lol

Not sure what's going on then. Granted, I'm not familiar with Sab but to me it looks like that part is working?

Yeah, its downloading, then moving to the correct place it seems, its just the sonarr aspect that seems like its not doing its job?

Ill post up some sab stuff anyway in case someone else is familiar:

 

NOTE: Inside PlexMedia is a folder Called Downloads, thats why it looks weird and says /downloads/downloads

Perhaps you might try posting in the support thread for whichever Sonarr docker you are using. Just click the icon for the docker and select “Support”.

I did try that but ws told that it may not be the best place for help? So thought this would be best.

I do not use Sonarr, so I may be wrong, and can not test it...

But, look at your Season Folder Format setting, it is set to:

    Season {season}

I think it will work as you desire if you change it to:

    Season {season:00}

 

  I think setting it in the normal screen, will also allow it to show with the new setting in the advanced settings, if not change it there too.

 

  I think this is the same as going from a null, or undefined folder configuration to a defined format for the folder configuration for the season number xx folders.

Not exactly in line with the above posts but I have been unable to change the Season Folder Format from Season {season} to Season {season:00}.  I understand I have to use the + button but when I save my changes, the system reverts back to the default of Season {season}.  I found a year old post via Google about this issue but the discussion was closed without a resolution but there was a hint in there that using a different browser (I use Chrome) might make a difference.

 

Anyone else ran into this issue?

Since this your first post to our forum and you don't mention it, which docker are you using? Or are you even using this on Unraid? (the purpose of our forum).

 

Probably most of these questions on this thread are better suited for the Sonarr website. 

Yes, that would help I guess.

 

I am using the linuxserver.io sonarr docker.  For the moment, I also use FileBot on my workstation to rename content but I found that sonarr was doing a pretty good job on its own if not for the {season:00} issue.  I will visit the sonarr website to see if this a known issue or not.
