updating series is not working with nzbgeek.

When I try to update search for new or do Manuel search. I don't get any results.

I got the following log items:

2024-12-03 07:39:33.2|Debug|Sonarr.Http.Authentication.ApiKeyAuthenticationHandler|AuthenticationScheme: API was successfully authenticated.
2024-12-03 07:39:33.2|Debug|Api|[GET] /api/v3/log/file: 200.OK (4 ms)
2024-12-03 07:39:35.6|Info|Sonarr.Http.Authentication.BasicAuthenticationHandler|Basic was not authenticated. Failure message: Authorization header missing.

Setup is easy:

- connection with nzbgeek, test works good, I selected all categories for testing. I also selected all qualities for testing/
- works perfect with Sonarr

Any one have an idea?

Clutter mangement?

So I'm a veeery recent migrant from the world of streaming to torrenting. I've currently got a simply Jellyfin+Arrs setup going but I'm limited on storage to the 1TB SSD in my Micro PC that's currently running as my HTPC/Media Server.

I'm sure this will last me a good 2 or 3 months of shows and movies, but overtime whilst I build a better budget for a proper system, how do you guys manage "clutter clearance", aka just deleting from the oldest to the newest? Is this a feature I'm missing in qBitorrent or is there any additional app required for this?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Scouring the Wiki I couldnt find anything that kind of matches what I'm looking for either?

Moved download client - how to handle windows -> linux location

Hey all! I hope you can help!
I have had Radarr running on a windows machine for years without too many issues. I have the following setup:
Windows 11 - 8700k, 16GB, 1TB SSD
Runs: Radarr and Sonarr
Mounted NAS storage - X:/TV-New, Z:/Movies-New
Synology NAS - 72TB storage - 2 shared folders - /volume1/TV-New and /volume1/Movies-New

I had previously run SabNZB on my NAS - but its limited the download speed. So i spun up another server using Ubuntu. I added this new download client to Radarr. And deleted a movie. Then manually searched and added the movie. It got added to the SabNZB downloader without issue.

This server has the following mount points:
/mnt/tv (maps to NAS @ /volume1/TV-New
/mnt/movies (maps to NAS @ /volume1/Movies-New

However, when the file downloads, it does not seem to get moved to the /mnt/movies/<MOVIE FOLDER> path like it does if i enabled and use the original SabNZB system.

Question - Radarr is the application that moves the file once fully downloaded? Correct? Is there something special i need to do in this case? Do i need mapped paths enabled (i currently have them enabled for the windows -> linux mapping).

Question - are there any particular logs i could review to see what/why it wasn't movied by Radarr? I assume if it doesn't get moved its likely a permissions issue more than anything else?

Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Naming: optional arguments

I want to follow the Plex naming conventions and add {edition-{Edition Tags}} to my folder and file names.

At the moment, if the file doesn't have edition information the name will include "{edition-}" anyway.

Is it possible to format the name so when that data is missing it omits the whole string?

Torrents sent through Radarr do not download but manually adding the torrent does.

Need help with my Radarr/Sonarr setup. Using prowlarr, my indexes are set up and everything is connected. When I attempt to add a movie to qbittorrent through radarr, it will send it to qbittorrent with seeds and peers available but never downloads. Always stuck at B/s speed, 0(x) seeds, 0(x) peers. I narrowed it down to radarr because I can go to any of the sites that are set as indexes and add the torrent manually for an immediate download.

I'm using plex, radarr, qbittorrent etc all on the same PC running windows. Yes I'm using a VPN (surfshark) but I'm not sure it is the issue since radarr can send requests and they show in qbittorrent but won't download. That and qbittorrent does download when a link is added manually.

Not sure what to do so hopefully someone has had this and has a fix.

Putting movies in their own folders

Moving movies into folders

Currently have 700+ movies saved directly in one folder called “movies”. I’m In the process of setting up the arrs and they require everything to be in an individual folder. What tool is there to cleanup the movies and put them in their own folders?

Thanks in advance

Remove movie from Radarr library upon Plex/manual delete?

I have tried looking around for this. Before I did the "unmonitor if deleted from disk" movies would reappear, but what I really want is the ability to be able to remove a movie directly from within Plex and also have it deleted from the Radarr library (same for Sonarr) rather than just get unmonitored.

It has resulted in me deciding not to delete content and then have to manually do it in the Radarr/Sonarr GUI, which is not handy.

I almost thought the "Connect" option for Plex Media Server might be the solution, but upon reviewing the Wiki, it doesn't seem to do that I hoped it would do.

PLEASE HELP! Radarr (& Sonarr & Readarr) on Hyper-V VM with Surfshark, can't access remotely.

Hopefully someone can help! I feel I've tried everything. This is my setup:

Windows 10 PC with Plex installed. Hyper-V VM with Windows 10 to manage my downloads. Surfshark installed in the VM, Bitdefender installed on the main PC. Everything is working and downloading nicely, I just want to be able to access my software through my phone using LunaSea (which I have done in the past, I just can't see how to do it now!)

  • I can currently see Sonarr, Radarr and Readarr's interfaces on the main PC (not through the VM) using the VM's IP address, but this doesn't work on an external device, so the ports are getting through the VM network.
  • I have used port forwarding in the past (and also on this build with no luck) but I'm keen to try more secure solutions if that's possible?
  • I have tried to add the ports for these programs to BitDefender's Firewall rules but I feel that's not very secure and doesn't work anyway.
  • I have tried the Surfshark Bypasser but that doesn't feel very secure considering the main reasons of having this software and setup.

Hopefully someone out there has experienced something like this in the past.

Basically, I'm not sure where the ports are being blocked. Maybe there's a way to trace a ports journey to see where I need to allow it through? I'm lost. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

Recyclarr Pre Made Configs; I'm confused on set up for Radarr and Sonarr

Like the title states I'm attempting to set up Recyclarr and its been slow going but, I've finally got to the config file portion. Where I'm confused is when using the pre sets, if I try to add all the files I get an error:

Fatal error. System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Looking for answers it appears this error was related to having more then one yml file; one for each pre set. So I attempted to merge them per the guide and now I get plexserver@Plex-Mac-mini ~ % recyclarr sync

[ERR] Exception while parsing settings.yml at line 2: Property 'radarr' not found on type 'Recyclarr.Settings.RecyclarrSettings'.

At this point I'm finding myself more confused and frustrated, I can't seem to make sense of the guides and most Youtube videos involve docker or Unraid where as I just have a M1 Mac Mini attached to a 6 bay DAS.

Any help would be appreciated. I can pastebin details if needed. Thank you in advance.

Here is what the settings file looks like after I tried to combine the presets I wanted:

Radarr failed to start after 5+ years of working fine

Radarr keeps failing to start. It seems others have posted this before and the solution was to restore db file from a backup. Which i have, multiple times. Everytime i do it it works for a week and the its back to broken. What are my options?

Radarr on win vs NAS ?

I am considering setting up Radarr and NZBGet or SABnzb but what would you recommend between local pc (windows) vs NAS docker install ? Seems NAS would be better cause running 24x7 but would that be necessary to open my NAS to the web with more security risk ? Thanks.

Torrent don't show up but it exist

Hi everyone,

today I was searching for a movie and radarr couldn't find it in french (because I'm french). I then double checked with interractive search and it indeed didn't showed up. But then I tried to find it within one of the site that is here on my indexer and I did find the movie. How is it possible that I couldn't find it on radarr even if it existed (and has the name in english of the movie in the title) ?

How to make Radarr pick good torrents from public trackers?

I've been spending the past 1.5 days trying to figure out how to make a private plex server. I've got everything working for the most part, but I'm still noticing that it's very difficult for Radarr to pick a good torrent from my indexers. Currently, I just have 1337x and tpb added, I'm not part of any private trackers and not sure how I would join one.

I'm not looking to watch movies at the highest quality, 4k would be rare, so I was just looking for a generic 1080p sized torrent around a couple GB in size. If I were to do this manually, I would go to 1337x, type in what I want, have it sort by seeders, pick one that fits my quality requirements and has a decent amount of "reported" seeders and download.

When I did this for said movie, I get a torrent and it downloads at multiple MB/s, which is perfect for me. But with Radarr, it picks one that's downloading at 4.4KiB/s.

I've found some old threads asking to be able to have it pick the highest seed count torrent, but all the replies are "public trackers lie about their seeders" or "join a private tracker", yet this tactic still works for me when I do it manually, but when I use Radarr, it frequently picks a torrent that just takes ages to download. Is there any way I can solve this?

[Windows] Questions on file management before installing Radarr and all the *arrs

Hi all,

I have Plex as media manager, installed on my all-day Windows PC. More than 2200 Movies, 300 TV Series and 5 Documentaries (setted as a TV Series Library).

I have 1x 20TB WD HC560 and 1x 24TB WD HC580, configured in a Stablebit Drivepool, which makes 40TB of space.

The folders are:

T:\Movies
T:\TV_Series
T:\Docs

I always downloaded manually all my media, using Emule many years ago, and then Torrent using Torrent Forums where they release the media. Qbittorrent is my Torrent app on Windows. I download everything on Exos 14TB, in the folder:

V:\Downloads

I like to have separate HDDs for downloading and Media management. On V:\ I also have documents, my own photos/videos and other stuff, but I'm trying to move all my stuff on a 2TB NVme.

All my stuff is backed up on Backblaze Personal, so I don't want to move away from Windows.

I read about Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr... looking on some videos and reading the Trash Guide about file management.

For my understanding, I can't use hardlinks because I use 2 separate HDDs (physical and logical drives on Windows) for downloading and media management. The only way I can use the *arrs is copying the downloaded file from V:\Downloads to T:\Movies or T:\TV_Series (depending on the downloaded media) correct?

Another idea that I had is, but I don't know if is possible, add also the V:\ drive inside the Stablebit Drivepool T:\, create the folder T:\Downloads where Qbittorrent can save the files, but I want that T:\Downloads uses only the V:\ Exos 14TB drive, I don't if it is possible.

Doing this, I could use hardlinks, but the real file would stay on the Exos 14TB drive and not in the two WD HC5x0 hard drives that I use for my media. Is it possible for the *arrs to move physically the files to a folder, like T:\Movies, and create then a Hardlink on the T:\Downloads folder?

Thanks in advance! :)

Deleted movies from Qbitorrent , but the files still exist in radarr - Any way to delete them?

I have radarr set to hardlink my downloads file to the movies file, I assumed if deleting the original file through Qbitorrent, that it would also delete the movie file, as they are hardlinked.

Apparently this isn't the case and I have a mismatch of files that are no longer in qbitorrent but still have files on the system.

Is there an easy way to delete these? I have to sift through hundreds of files otherwise

Also how should I delete files in the future? Delete on qbitorrent then delete on radarr as well?

Radarr is copying and not moving files

So, both Radarr and Sonarr are downloading files and instead of moving, that is, deleting the movie/series in the folder while adding to the root folder's structure, they are copying, that is, the original file is still in the download folder, but there's a copy in the root folder with the correct naming and structure. How can I delete automatically the file from the download folder after what should be a moving?

An example from Sonarr - but the same happens with Radarr: https://imgur.com/2SYGEp4

Radarr Indexer Errors

I am really having a challenge with radarr it was working now it won't update anything or search. I am new to this and use to have my media server managed by a friend however that friend and I stopped talking. I would really love some help. I have restarted the container, but nothing. I am again new to this and what displays is:

all rss-capable indexers are temporarily unavailable due to recent indexer errors

all indexers are unavailable due to failures for more than 6 hours

all search-capable indexers are temporarily unavailable due to recent indexer errors

again i am unsure what to do to fix this.

Please help me with automation

Yesterday, everything worked as expected. Movies were moved to root folder.

Today i had to restart my synology nas, and my downloaded files are all of a sudden no more moving to the root folder as expected…

This is very strange.

I have all apps as docker containers in one network.

Sab, radarr. I have mounted a data folder for radarr, where i mapped a remote path downloads/completed to data/downloads/completed as described in the trash guides. But the files stay in the caregory folders without getting any radarr errors.

I have a user for docker and this user has read write permissions for the folders.

"Torrent is not enabled for this movie" Why?

Haven't seen this before. New setup and I encounter this error as a rejection reason during interactive search. I assume it will never chose a torrent over usenet...But why?

[EDIT - SOLVED] - Seems it is to do with "Delay Profile." I need to look into how this works. :)

Radarr/Sonarr can't connect with qBittorrent

Hi,

I have an Asustor NAS.

Been trying to setup Radarr/Sonarr with qBittorrent without any success. All apps are installed within App Central.

Radarr log:

[Warn] RadarrErrorPipeline: Invalid request Validation failed: 
 -- Host: Unable to connect to qBittorrent 
[Warn] RadarrErrorPipeline: Invalid request Validation failed: 
  -- Host: Unable to connect to qBittorrent 

Radarr error message in the Add Download Client screen:
Unable to connect to qBittorrent. An error occurred while sending the request.

The same problem mirrors itself in Sonarr too.
Been following Trash Guides without success.

Any ideas, guys?

Automatically redownload different version if deleted in jellyfin?

So I want to be able to give my jellyfin group the possibility to basically replace a movie file if the release is broken. I thought maybe it could be possible i give them the ability to delete movies in jellyfin and radarr somehow automatically sees that and redownloads the next best version. Is that at all possible?

Symbolic link radarr

Bonjour,

Je viens de m'abonner à Real Debrid et j'ai réussi à monter un dossier d'accès à ma librairie RD en utilisant Zurg. J'ai maintenant un problème, lorsque je crée un lien symbolique entre un film de la librairie RD vers mon dossier films de Radarr, ce dernier ne détecte pas mon film.... Est-ce qu'il faut nommer le lien symbolique d'une manière spécifique? Est-ce qu'il faut faire un lien directement avec le fichier .mkv ou avec le dossier qui contient le film?

J'ai essaye quelques idées mais rien ne fonctionne...

L'idée est que radarr et Sonarr soient capable de détecter la présence des films au travers du lien symbolique, qu'il déplace le lien dans le bon dossier comme si c'était le fichier du film et le renomme comme il faut.

Less mainstream content

Hi,

Any tips on which indexers to use to find less or non mainstream content: old or less mainstream movies, documentaries, concert movies,... ?

Compressed Bluray 2160p (not remux) are usually of similar or lesser size than WEB-DL 2160p. Do you still prefer Bluray for 2160p?

Compressed Bluray 2160p:

  • Sourced from Bluray remuxes, so the video is encoded twice in the entire process: Film master ---encoded--> Bluray disc ---encoded--> Bluray rip.
  • Have similar or lesser size than WEB-DL 2160p.
  • Usually are H265 with HDR formats.

WEB-DL 2160p:

  • Sourced from streaming services and are usually not re-encoded, so the video is only encoded once: Film master ---encoded--> WEB-DL file.
  • Have similar or bigger size than compressed Bluray 2160p.
  • Usually are H265 with HDR formats.

Because of the above points I honestly don't see any reason to prefer compressed Blurays over WEB-DLs at least in 2160p. In 1080p the WEB-DLs are usually H264 so there it makes sense to prefer Blurays, but for 2160p I'm thinking of giving them equal or higher preference to WEB-DL in radarr.

What do you guys think?

I just want Radarr to look for the title of the movie in Spanish

I have been reading a lot on reddit and other websites and I have not been able to make this work.

It's very simple, I just want Radarr to look for the title of the movie in Spanish in the indexers.

It doesn't matter the language profile I indicate, Radarr never searches for the title in Spanish, it searches for it in English and expect to find some language specification.

Is there any way to make it search for the title in Spanish please?

Thank you.

[FIX] Fatal error. Failed to load JIT compiler

I want to share how I solved this for the latest radarr update (5.15.1.9463—Nov 18 2024 Currently Installed) in case anyone is having a similar issue.

Running on a Linux raspberrypi 6.1.21-v8+ #1642 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 3 17:24:16 BST 2023 aarch64

So I tried to update as I always do through the UI, but it didn't start, so I ran the following:

sudo journalctl --since 19:30 -u radarr

I saw that my server had an issue in the update process:

Fatal error. Failed to load JIT compiler

So... even though someone might get mislead due to the repeating "Fatal error. Failed to load JIT compiler" message, I just had to manually download the latest version from GitHub and replace the old one (the settings were kept for me). I thought at first it had something to do with mono, but no.

For me it was:

sudo systemctl stop radarr
sudo rm -rf /tmp/radarr_update/
sudo cp -r /opt/Radarr /opt/Radarr_backup
sudo rm -rf /opt/Radarr
wget https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/releases/download/v5.15.1.9463/Radarr.master.5.15.1.9463.linux-core-arm64.tar.gz
tar -xvf Radarr.master.5.15.1.9463.linux-core-arm64.tar.gz
sudo mv Radarr /opt/
sudo chmod -R 755 /opt/Radarr
sudo systemctl start radarr
sudo systemctl status radarr

I hope if someone encounters the same update issue, even though simple, this helps.

Oh and If it starts correctly and you can see your movies as they previously where, do not forget to delete /opt/Radarr_backup
