does sonarr have a option to grab 4k copies first if none then grabe the the next best thing 1080?

Sonarr (and Plex) recently stopped seeing random seasons of shows that it previously saw. Example I have all 9 seasons of Seinfeld on disk and previously they were available but now only Season 1-4 show. IHave opened files in each season in VLC to confirm they are not corrupt.

Here is a picture of permissions - https://imgur.com/a/qsKvXMO - Season 2 is fine, but Season 9 is not.

Below are a couple trace log lines when trying to manually import season 9.

I have tried removing the series and reimporting via library import.

I am running this on Mac OS in docker. I have two root folders (2 external drives) and it is happening to random shows on each.

Any ideas on what could be going on?

Thanks!

I’ve been organizing my Sonarr quality profiles and splitting them by the type of shows I watch. I think it’s working, but I’m curious how you all do it. do you keep it simple or break it down more specifically? I tweak the scoring here and there on some, but others i feel like I have got pretty nailed down. Here’s my setup.

1. Animated (Standard)

For the cartoons that don’t need to look perfect. Smaller file sizes are fine, my kids don’t care if Bluey is in 4K.

The Simpsons

Family Guy

Bluey

Paw Patrol

2. Animated (Cinematic)

These are the big-budget animated shows that deserve all the quality. HDR, better audio, the works.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Arcane

Love, Death & Robots

Avatar: The Last Airbender

3. Pre-2000 Sitcoms

For the classics. They don’t need 4K, but I still want them to look nice. 720p/1080p works fine here.

Friends

Seinfeld

Frasier

Everybody Loves Raymond

4. Post-2000 Sitcoms

These are the newer shows where HD is the default. I stick to 1080p for most of these.

The Office

Parks and Recreation

Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Big Bang Theory

5. Dramatic Series

Shows where visuals matter, but I don’t need the absolute best. A good balance of quality and file size.

Outlander

Euphoria

Breaking Bad

The Crown

6. Ultra Immersive

This is for shows where I want all the details. Dolby Vision, Atmos, the whole deal. Big file sizes, but worth it.

Game of Thrones

House of the Dragon

The Mandalorian

Chernobyl

Would love to hear how others set theirs.

Everything was working fine with my -arr apps, and now everything is jacked up all at once. If I can solve what's happening with Sonarr, I'm sure the others will fall in place.

I have a Synology Diskstation DS920+ running the Container Manager app. I use Portainer-ee to run my docker compose files (I don't want to debate compose vs run please).

My logs are telling me "You are running this container as a non-root user: UMASK, custom services, & docker mod functionality will be disabled and the PUID/PGID environment variables will have no effect."

Obviously, this is causing a lot of problems access, moving or managing files. All my other docker container files work fine (Haugene-Transmission, FlexGet, Plex, etc.).

My compose file for Sonarr is:

I set all indexers to a min seed ratio of 1.

My "problem" is that seedbox is too fast, some torrents reach ratio and are removed while sync is still running.
Or maybe lock the files somehow with syncthing till download is complete?

For now I can just increase ratio, but total traffic of seedbox is limited.

thanks

SSD - Different storage pool/volume/share

HDD - data array

└── media

└── tv

My logic is this will prevent the HDD from spinning up at all hours of the night and day in hopes of minimizing noise from the NAS. My own argument against this is that scheduled tasks from the *arrs apps and plex will spin up the data array anyway so this is pointless.

But I am not technical enough to answer this question clearly. What say y'all?

I troubles shoot now for a while, and for some reason the query Sonarr creates is not correct with all my series.

Example:

Did a Manuel Search on:
Yellowstone (2018)-2024-11-10-Desire Is All You Need

Logfile this query:
Https://api.nzbgeek.info/api?t=tvsearch&cat=5000,5030,5040,5045&extended=1&apikey=(removed)&offset=0&limit=100&q=Yellowstone&season=2024&ep=11/10

no results, when I test the quarry myself got the same result.

But the query what should created is

https://api.nzbgeek.info/api?t=tvsearch&cat=5000,5030,5040,5045&extended=1&apikey=r<remodedid>&offset=0&limit=100&q=Yellowstone&season=5&ep=10"

That works, but Sonarr keep making the wrong one. What can I do to solve this issue?

Hello.

I updated to the recent Sonarr 4.0.11.2724 and this error has appeared.

The error:

• Unable to communicate with rTorrent. IndexerDefinition with ID 9 does not exist

In the event tab it says:

• Unable to retrieve queue and history items from rTorrent: IndexerDefinition with ID 8 does not exist

My rTorrent is working fine and the testing in sonarr is OK as well.

Nothing worng in prowlarr and any manual search is working fine in sonarr it's just refuse to communicate with rtorrent for any requested downloads.

I have no idea what to do here.

I tried to re-update/restarting. I went back to a previous backup but still same error.

Coming back to homelabing after 5+ years so please be gentle!

For the past two days I've been watching youtube videos and reading up on most of what I could find on google (yes thrash guides as well as the official Sonarr forum and here on this /r) for my Sonarr setup but alas....to no avail.

No matter what I do and try, I don't seem to be be able to consistently pull the small filesizes due to lack of storage.

Goal is to make it download only 1080p releases under 1GB, preferably either of these types of releases.
Please, what I am doing wrong and does anyone have a good guide/ template or how to for this consistently?

Endless gratitude for your time!

Hi guys. I have a Synology DS415play with DSM 7, Sonarr V3 and Prowlarr (normal synology packages, not installed via Docker). As per title, indexers from Prowlarr are always unavailable. If I test them both in Sonarr and in Prowlarr, everything is ok but within a minute or two this warning keeps reappearing.
I also have two indexers configured directly in Sonarr (Anime Tosho and Nyaa), and they never fails.

Sonarr logs states that these server are unavailable, but as I said, if I test them everything is ok... and I can't figure out how to solve this.

https://pastebin.com/C3Qt5W8C

Important: I can't install Docker nor Sonarr V4 on this NAS, so every solution that implies one of these two cases won't work for me.

I've tried to do a lot of research via the Trash Guides and the Recyclarr GitHub page to create my own recylarr.yml that would work the best for me and my wife's personal use case. The current work-in-progress file is as follows:

https://pastebin.com/88XFmbEs

First use case:

• Wife likes to watch some old/obscure/britbox/live theatre content
• Not a huge priority on quality, just happy if we can even find the content at all sometimes (ex. "The Corn Is Green - National Theatre at Home")
• I've created 2 "catch all" quality profiles that accepts almost anything, one will upgrade all the way to WEB-1080p, and another that upgrades to WEB-2160p. (#Profile 1 and #Profile 2)

Second use case:

• Random stuff to be played for background noise in our living room, like documentaries etc.
• Quality is not super important here, so I created a simple WEB-1080p quality profile (#Profile 3)

Third use case:

• Proper home theatre viewing - content will be watched in a dedicated home theatre with a projector & surround sound system and all that jazz
• Created a Web-2160p profile for "average" movies to conserve HDD space (#Profile 4)
• Created a 4k Remux profile for the "epic" movies like Top Gun Maverick etc (#Profile 5)

As far as our current hardware setup...1) our Plex server is able to transcode no problem, so rather just keep one Sonarr instance rather than multiple instances with multiple copies of the same file to avoid transcoding. 2) Home theatre media player is Shield Pro so will be using DV

Could anyone here please let me know of any suggestions based on our use case to improve on my Quality Profiles? Do the included qualities make sense? Do the custom format used make sense? etc... Thank you!

Recently I have been having issues where tv shows in my plex server are showing as 14 or 28 minutes long instead of their full correct length of ~22/42 minutes long for shows that air on broadcast tv at 30/60 minutes minus commercials. Fast Forward / Rewind also do not work correctly on these files... this indicates to me the file is corrupt. The download source (private torrent) seems fine, no user comments that files are broken. When trying to play the files directly off my NAS using VLC they also are corrupted. When viewing them in windows explorer set to "view: content" no length is readable on these files indicating corruption.

In my setup i download to an internal drive on my desktop pc and then have Sonarr copy to a NAS for long term storage, changing the file names to match the Plex naming convention and then I seed off of my internal drive to reduce wear and tear on my large storage.

When i go back to my internal drive the file is not corrupted, therefore the corruption must have happened during either the copy to the the NAS, or directly on the NAS after copied, however NAS health seems to be good and this is not happening outside of tv shows, which leads me to Sonarr.

At first i saw this on some shows i requested 4K and though it was some type of HDR incompatibility on my system, but now it is happening to normal 1080 shows as well.

Sonarr 4.0.11.2680 on Windows 10 Home 22H2 build 19045.5131

Anyone seeing anything like this or has any advice for how to fix from happening forward and/or how to figure out what has been affected without manually checking.

Thank You!

Is there a way to stop Sonaar from downloading from a certain group release?

Conversely, is there a way to have a preference to grab one release over another? Say by a certain release group 1st then if not any other?

I have mine set to 100. I'm just wondering what other people set theirs to and if they truncate other variables as well.

I'm new to Sonarr and I've barely set it up today but it's not working. I use Prowlarr as the indexer (badass torrent, isohunt2, kickasstorrent, and nyaa.si) and Qbittorent as the downloader. Whenever I search for a series to download it loads into the queue but it doesn't download. The size and speed stay 0 and don't move.

This is so weird. I'm setting up my new mac, downloaded sonarr, radarr, Prowlarr. All of them were "blocked" from installing by OSX security settings, so I used the "open anyway" and they all installed. However none of the apps will actually launch. I get a "The application Sonarr can't be opened" prompt. (and the same prompt for prowlarr and sonarr too).

Any ideas?

So i just got Sonarr setup, and i tested it by adding a series and everyting worked.
I then went on to add my existing library and set sonarr to monitor any ongoing series, but it wont auto download anything.
I can go into a series and do a quick search, and it downloads the episode.

Is there a setting im missing ?

Hello! I am not sure if this is a sonarr issue or a sabnzbd issue, but starting here since the problem seems isolated to sonarr.

I have two instances of sonarr setup, to separate my kids tv shows from the regular tv shows. I am getting an error that the directory where sab places downloads does not exist in the container.

I also have two radarr's setup with the same method, just different directories and do not have any problems.

Can anyone see any errors in my paths / directories?

I prefer to have multiple instances setup, rather than by using different profiles. It makes control of the libraries in plex easier to manage and keep separated.

docker compose

So I have a small issue I’ve been trying to solve for the last month.

Current setup: 2 synology NAS 1 Dell server that runs a docker with full automation for downloads. Includes Sonarr Radarr Overseerr Sabnzbd Requesterr 1 server for plex server hosting and transcoding

I have two synology NAS. I buy 20TB drives one at a time. I have filled up the first nas with about 120tb and it has no more room for hdd’s or space. I have added the second NAS to the network and mapped my root folders so everything like PLEX, Sonarr, Radarr, Overseerr all have these root folders as well for NAS one and two. I have added with two more 20tb drives on the 2nd nas.

File structure: NAS one /movies /tv shows

NAS two /Movies vol 2 /TV shows vol 2

The issue:

Say I have an existing series on my first NAS with 30 episodes. The series is still on going so it will grab new episodes. But since the first NAS is full I need those new episodes on the second NAS. I know u can only map a single root folder for a single series. I would prefer to keep my shows where they are at rather then splitting them up or deciding when a series is finished moving it off the drive.

If I were to move just the completed series (show has ended) only then I would have to do a mass transfer of 34tb worth of shows from one NAS to another.

Is there anyway around this? Or and I stuck just cause my first NAS is full and my library is too large. Does my storage solution just suck?

I would like to tell Sonarr and Sabnzbd to map to the new drive but the current on going tv shows will then have to make new folders and I will have to move those series over just to get new episodes.

I can’t think or find a way around this issue other then moving complete series manually off the drive just so continuing series can keep their location and Sonarr doesn’t freak out thinking I’m missing episodes. When it’s forced to a new root folder on another drive. My solution would be solved if we could just add multiple root folders to a single series. Then I could tell it to download to a new location while still maintaining its existing folder on another drive.

That or if there is a way to make just one giant drive using both NAS systems where I can continually add to them over time but Sonarr and Radarr and Sabnzbd see it as just one location.

Just want to keep my shows where they are then download new episodes in a new location when space is available. While Sonarr recognizes I still have the old episodes.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Or if I’m just not being clear let me know. Or if someone has a better storage solution or Managment let me know.

hello just starting using sonarr and was wondering if im doing it right, how to know hardlink is working and i dont waste hard drive space, cause im also seeding the torrents i download all the time and see i have both files in the torrent download forlder and also where sonarr makes moves them

running windows 10

Utorrent Download Folder = E:\Torrents Finish

SONAR Root Folder Path = E:\--sonarr--\TV Series

is this correct as long as its on the same hard drive? or do i need to redo them kinda confused and dont know how to verify if its hardlink or not

still new at this trying to learn

So, i use Sonarr, hell i use Radarr in similar ways namely, to rename personal rips of shows that i ripped from the BD, but i wanted to know if there was a way to guarantee Sonarr won't try to "fix" my copy or updownload, so far i have made sure there is no torrent client in Sonarr but any other redundancies i can employ to ensure nothing gets downloaded through Sonarr.

Another issue of course will be that some point in the future if i want to enable downloads, without destroying the library I have cultivated.

If I use hardlinks with usenet, are the links ever released? So if i'm using SABnzb, is the link in "downloads/completed" removed after import?

Hi!

I want to automate downloading tv shows, but I ran into a problem.
I have Jellyfin, Sonarr, Prowlarr, and Flaresolverr already installed. The thing is, I am confused as to what indexers I should use.
I have connected Sonarr to QBittorrent, but when I add a series to Sonarr, nothing happens. It doesn't start downloading anything. I assume it's because the indexers I am using don't have the shows that I want to download, but idk.
I am using 1337x, LimeTorrents, and Nyaa.

Edit: When I click RSS Sync (which I think I have to do), it says 167 reports found, 0 reports grabbed. Not sure if that's important, but it might be.

Edit 2: When I look at the prowlarr history, none of the items have a query. Again, not sure if that's important, but it might be.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out because my server has been running smoothly for a year now without any issues. However, I’ve recently noticed that I’m getting the following error every minutes in bursts of 10: "Failed to get runtime from the file, make sure ffprobe is available".

All the permissions are correctly set.
Has anyone else encountered this error, and if so, how did you fix it?

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to help me out! 😊

Possible someone can look at my string and let me know why Sonarr keeps pulling DoVi files? i had to redeploy my Sonarr and I thought I have the right "must not include" string but I've pulled a couple DoVi's.

/\b(dv|dovi|dolby[ .]vision)\b.*(?=[ ._-]web[ ._-]?(dl|rip)\b)/i, /(?=[ ._-]web[ ._-]?(dl|rip)\b).*\b(dv|dovi|dolby[ .]vision)\b/i

I am very new too rr apps and usenet. So I setup everything and trying the system now. I downloaded Breaking Bad with a quality profile I created but there are some missing episodes. I changed the quality to lower ones but It won't search and find the missing episodes. What am I doing wrong?

I used 4k remux>4k bluray>bluray 1080p remux profile at first. Then I changed it to lower qualities but it doesn't fill empy episodes.

Hello, im quite new in this whole arr-stack so please be patient with me.
Im running Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlar, Jellyfin and Jellyseer on my Qnap HS-264 via Docker.
About a Week ago ive seen an Error Message that Jellyseer cant connect to Sonarr anymore.
I updates everything, changed the API-Key but i cant establish a connection anymore.
The Error-Log is also not very rich on informations...
Its simple "[Sonarr] Failed to retrieve system status: fetch failed"
Anyone got a hint to solve this Problem?

Sonarr Version: 4.0.11.2680
Jellyseer Version: 2.1.0

So I am going through my library and reducing files sizes and Sonarr does not automatically import the files sometimes. I checked the logs and get the following.

File rejected for the following reasons: [Permanent] Not an upgrade for existing episode

I would think manually requesting the season would override this check.

I have even used the override option with the same behavior.

This can be seen even going webdl 1080p to would 1080p.

Any ideas?

Sadly I'm moving away from Sonarr. A couple features that have been strongly requested for many years don't seem like they are ever going to be implemented, so whilst I like the Sonarr interface and it's reasonable levels of customisability, I need a new solution.

Ideally, I'd like to take all the configurations I have implemented in sonarr/prowlarr, as well as the library, and export them to a new solution. Is there an established process for doing this? I'm looking at Medusa, SickBeard forks, etcetera, but I wanted to see what others think first. Rebuilding my library from scratch is... a daunting task.

I am getting a system error in Sonarr (as well as Radarr) saying that "All indexers are unavailable due to failures". When I go to indexers menu and test Prowlarr, I immediately get a green check mark, then a few seconds later the system error comes back, I checked Prowlarr and it is seeing the releases on the indexers. When I look at the logs, it looks like Sonarr is seeing info from Prowlarr because it has info from the indexers:

I recently moved this virtual pc to a physical pc using Clonezilla and have tried uninstalling Sonarr and reinstalling with no luck.

Anyone have any suggestions?
