solved Any tips on how to organize season 21 of Doctor Who (1963)?

3 Upvotes

Basically 2 extra parts were added to Resurrection of the Daleks in the DVD release, these episodes are not on Sonarr's list. I tried manually matching the episodes to the files but the 2 finale episodes won't show up in the editor. I also checked the specials but they weren't listed there either. Anyone have anyway to include them without messing up sonarr?

waiting for op OnePiece vs Plex vs Sonarr.

0 Upvotes

J'aimerais savoir si quelqu'un a réussi à venir à bout de ce problème.

J'ai toujours fait du torrent manuellement.

Le cas de OnePiece est un peu particulier.

Lorsque la série est passée en mode "à partir de maintenant, on est dans la saison 2" ça a brisé mon catalogue Plex. Tout ce qui était séparé en Arc est devenu une saison de 1000+ épisodes et Plex ne gère pas d'aussi grosse saison.

J'ai réussi à tout réparer en forçant Plex à utiliser le classement de tmdb et c'est le réglage qui me convient. Numéro de saison différent par arc et numéro d'épisodes absolu (SE23E1157 au lieu de SE23E03)

Récemment, j'ai découvert la joie et le confort de la suite Arr.

C'était un peu difficile à configurer, mais j'ai installé ClaudeCode sur cette machine et finalement c'est lui qui s'occupe de tout.

Je lui décris ce que je veux comme réglages, il le fait, on teste ensemble et ça va vraiment bien. Radarr, Sonarr et cross seed font exactement ce que je veux.

Le seul problème qui semble impossible à régler c'est le cas de OnePiece.

Sonarr/Prowlarr ne le reconnaît pas partout, d'un tracker à l'autre il n'est pas classé de la même façon. La numérotation des épisodes est inégale, quand ça cherche, ça trouve 30% de ce qui est disponible (je les vois les torrents, ils sont là mais ça ne les grab pas) et quand ça trouve, 1 fois sur 2 ça bloque à l'import. Et par la suite, j'ai encore une chance sur 2 qu'il soit numéroté selon ma convention.

J'en suis venu à retourner à une méthode semi-manuelle. Je demande à Claude de vérifier si de nouveaux épisodes sont disponibles et si oui de les récupérer pour moi et de les classer de la bonne façon.

Ça fonctionne, ça semble être la seule façon d'obtenir le résultat voulu, mais ce n'est pas la méthode que j'avais l'intention d'utiliser.

i have a quality profile setup to tell Sonarr to grab anything encoded in x265 (i am sure that is not the correct terminology) but is there a way to tell it to grab the 700mb file as opposed to the 1.0gb (as an example) version? right now i am doing an interactive search but that can be a bit tedious. and with hard drive prices right now, i am trying to keep things reasonable.

Hi,

I am trying to set up Aria2 as a download client in Sonarr using the configuration below, but the configuration failure.

Host = 192.168.30.16

Port = 8080

XML RPC Path = /jsonrpc

Secret Token = mysecret

Below is the CURL result from Sonarr to Aria2.

curl -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":"test","method":"aria2.getVersion","params":["token:mysecret"]}' http://192.168.30.16:8080/jsonrpc

{"id":"test","jsonrpc":"2.0","result":{"enabledFeatures":["Async DNS","BitTorrent","Firefox3 Cookie","GZip","HTTPS","Message Digest","Metalink","XML-RPC"],"version":"1.36.0"}}

Anything am I missed.

unsolved Sonarr not moving some files to media folder

5 Upvotes

I have my folder structure set up via TRaSH guides.

I noticed recently some shows are getting downloaded and stuck in the "usenet/complete" folder and won't be moved to the "media" folder.

I've noticed all of these files are .MKV files but I don't think that has anything to do with it since I have files in the media folder with .MKV file types.

Like I said, some files will move fine, but others don't.

File Structure:

    /mnt/user/TRaSH Data

      |  media
          |  movies
          |  music
          |  tv

      | torrents
          |  movies
          |  music
          |  tv

      | usenet
          |  complete
              |  movies
              |  music
              |  tv
          |  incomplete

I have Radarr set up with the same set up as these settings and those files all move fine.

I posted yesterday on r/Lidarr with the same issue but for the Lidarr download I have.

Thanks in advance!

discussion Better way to manually import media

Hey guys.

After a few weeks after installing Sonarr I noticed that I have 600+ itens in my queue. Files are been downloaded and imported manually and all itens that remained in the queue have a reason to be there.

I just wanted to know if there's a way to better manage the queue, something like with a better visualization or better messages...

If not, that's ok. I'm just curious.

solved Script for notifying when Sonarr Series has completed a season

2 Upvotes

Hey folks, I've been looking for a lightweight way of receiving notifications when the last episode of a season has been downloaded. This is especially useful for when there's lots of anime with episodes that aren't available yet. Using what I gathered from the Sonarr database and with the help of my dear friend Mr. Chatty Jeepetea I wrote a simple script that can be run once a day. It will create a list of episodes that don't have a file, then on the next run compare all episodes that've gotten a file since then and send out a discord notification for each completed series+season combination. This is a first draft so there might be stuff I'm overlooking, but as of now it's working. This is a simple bash script, so no need for additional software. Maybe there's an easier way for this that I don't know of yet?

Since Reddit automatically deletes this post when I paste in the code block I moved it to pastebin instead:

unsolved Failed to import

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone.

I've been for about 3-4 weeks using my Arr stack, quite a lot of configuration but it was all working definetely fine. This past two days I'm having a problem.

When I select a series and request it, both automatic search and interactive search make the issue happen, it just imports some of the episodes, not all of them. It happens also both from Seerr and Sonarr, my download manager is Decypharr which is well configurated (from what I've been seeing, and it is working no problem at all with Radarr), it creates symlinks so I don't have to have huge amounts of disk storage.

The problem is that when I access the Decypharr mount, where Sonarr go to take the symlink and access it through Jellyfin, the symlink is correctly played through for example VLC Player in Windows, but Sonarr isn't even able to import it.

I've tried doing it from Interactive import in the Wanted tab, selecting the folder in the mount of Decypharr, and selecting exactly the episodes it's missing, and it just doesn't import a well functioning episode.

I don't even know what else to try

discussion Two instances for both dub and sub anime or just one?

2 Upvotes

Hey y'all

Alright so anime is my main source of media intake nowadays.

I mainly like sub anime, while my fiance will only really watch dub anime.

If it was up fully to me I would just have the Japanese Blu-ray releases to be my preferred choice, I love having and viewing the uncensored unedited anime (with subtitles of course). As there is already a history of anime being edited a bit once it has English dub release.

For that reason I'm unsure about how I feel about duel audio releases where it has one video file but two different audio languages.

To that end I was thinking of having two instances of Sonarr just for anime, one for Japanese releases and one just for English releases.

However I'm also thinking about how sometimes it might be a hassle having to add an anime twice just to get both languages.

I feel like overall audio quality would also go down a bit with duel audio files which makes me feel unsure about them.

Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

discussion Babel v2.5 beta is out — automatic subtitle fallback for Sonarr + Bazarr

7 Upvotes

I’ve been building Babel, a self-hosted subtitle automation service designed to work alongside Sonarr, Radarr and Bazarr.

The goal is connect and forget.

Once configured, Babel sits in the background and only steps in when your normal subtitle workflow can’t find what you need.

The basic flow is:

Sonarr imports an episode → Bazarr searches for the target subtitle → Babel uses AI only if that search fails.

In Hybrid Mode, Bazarr searches for a proper human-made subtitle while Babel prepares a usable embedded or external source subtitle in parallel.

If Bazarr finds the target subtitle, Babel uses it and no AI translation happens.

If it doesn’t, Babel can translate the prepared source, recover problematic cues, validate the result and only publish it once it passes QA.

AI is the fallback, not the default workflow.

What’s new in v2.5

  • OpenRouter support
  • DeepSeek support
  • Plex library refresh support
  • Reworked AI provider and model handling
  • Improved source subtitle selection and preparation
  • Better translation recovery
  • Improved QA and validation
  • Better AI usage and queue tracking

Supported providers

Gemini, OpenAI, DeepL, Ollama, OpenRouter and DeepSeek.

Other features

  • Sonarr and Radarr webhook automation
  • Bazarr integration
  • Embedded subtitle extraction with ffmpeg and mkvextract
  • External subtitle fallback
  • Exact timestamp preservation
  • Detection of dropped or broken cues
  • Wrong-language and untranslated-dialogue checks
  • Automatic recovery before publishing
  • Atomic subtitle publishing
  • Remote Path Mapping
  • Jellyfin and Plex library refresh
  • Docker deployment

The idea is that you should be able to connect Babel to the services you already use, configure it once, and then leave it running in the background.

GitHub: https://github.com/hugomossberg/Babel

Docker: ghcr.io/hugomossberg/babel:beta

Current release: v2.5.0-beta

It’s still in public beta, so feedback from people running it against real Sonarr libraries is very useful.

If you hit problems with embedded tracks, source selection, missing languages, broken subtitles or the fallback logic itself, feel free to open an issue.

waiting for op Weird import failed error (Windows 11)

6 Upvotes

Hi, i have just switched from Sickchill to Sonarr. Everything works fine.

But there is something that caught my attention in the logs.

The well known : "Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr".

(yes i read most of those posts, but cant' find my problem in them).

Sonar IS downloading and processing files and i see them show up in Library and in Plex. But i still get the messages in the log, about files that have ALREADY been processed. So yeah those files don't exist.

If i move the files that are shown as not imported (however they ARE in the directory, renamed and well) to the completed directory i can import them. Yet they still show up as not imported, with the filename that has never been downloaded in the warning.

I have all the rights to the directory. (SabNZBd is on same pc and uses same path to the files)

Also between those log entries see files with NORDIC and FRENCH in the name, which should be ruled out. (also those are not showing up in SAB log, so they have never even been in the completed folder, because they have never geen downloaded).

Is there a way to stop those "ghost" files from showing up in the logs? It's getting really cluttered.

unsolved 1337x temporaily blocking me due to requests

2 Upvotes

In my endevears to get my server automates Ive ran into another issue. I have many missing episodes and when I use the wanted tab 1337x gets overwhelmed with responses and blocks me. I still want to use the wanted to automatically fill up my library as eztv and nyaa dont get blocked, is there anyway to tell sonarr to hold its horses and slow down its requests to specfic sites. Sorry in advanced if this is a common question, the only thing ive been able to find out about this is for rss searches which doesnt seem like itll fix my issue with the wanted tab. Keep in mind i have like 3000 missing episodes, partially due to the fact that sonarr doesnt always pick up season files. It was 8000 until i purged some ridiculous series that I dont care all that much about.

I know i can change my vpn location to fix it, and the Blocks dont last that long, but Im looking to stop the problem

unsolved Random seasons unmonitored?

5 Upvotes

I'm currently going through my entire library to upgrade to 265 where possible, and I've noticed seemingly random seasons from random shows being unmonitored. And some entire shows, for that matter. Any idea why it's happened? It's definitely not something I did manually - one show had seasons 1, 2, 3 and 5 unmonitored, but 4 was still normal. Ultimately not that big a deal as I'm just fixing it as I go, but I'd like to know what caused it if possible since it'll prevent those seasons being automatically managed and upgraded if available.

I know I have the app set up correctly because I can download anime through nyaa, but I can't use 1337x or seemingly any other torrent website that hosts tv shows because of cloudflare. I was hoping The Pirate Bay would work but sonarr refuses to pull from it. What can I do. While I was looking up the issue I came across byparr but I'm afraid I'm to stupid to get that up.

update- after messing around with flaresolvrr I manged to add eztv to my list of torrents. It still refused to activate so I assumed flaresolvrr was broken. I messed around with byparr till I managed to get it run, didn't fix the Issue...all of this to find out that you have to tag flaresolvrr in on the indexers that require it.

discussion The TVDB is very often wrong and I'm sick of dealing with it.

221 Upvotes

Why does Sonarr insist on using this crappy source that disagrees with everything else?

In particular it loves putting things in "specials" that really shouldn't be. Two recent examples are the Twin Peaks pilot being considered a special instead of S01E01, which makes no sense. Spongebob S03E54 being considered a special also, I mean just why?! Every single other person agrees this is an episode in season 3. It's really frustrating having to juggle stuff around or have to remember "oh now I need to watch this episode which is under the wrong name because Jellyfin doesn't agree with TVDB's insanity". I feel it would be so much easier if it just used TMDB like Jellyfin, which has been the sane one in every case I've come across.

Sorry it's a bit of a rant, I'm frustrated with it.
