Post-Conversion Processing using SABNZBD and Sonarr - First Time Setup

[zeieri]

Hello!

I just installed this tool and I have an issue where I get past the conversion, it drops the file into a "Converted" folder but even though my category in SAB and Sonarr are set to "Sonarr", Sonarr doesn't rescan the folder and move the file. Here is the output I get from the conversion in SABnzbd:

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this?

Thank You!

Ever figure this out?

[zeieri]

Negative. I actually dropped the tool all together and haven't found a decent alternative yet.

Right, you don't need to have the script drop the file elsewhere before sonarr picks it up as Sonarr itself is dropping this support in the future.

Use the below autoprocess.ini setting's (adding your client's details) and it will work perfectly!

Make sure that in Sonarr you have turned OFF "Completed Download Handling" This is important as Sonarr or Radarr with try to import the file as soon as its downloaded if you use the settings above (feel free to change the bitrate if you want I find this is the best for remote streaming) the script will convert then push the converted file to sonarr witch will then take over.

This will only work if you have the right settings under the Sonarr / radarr sections.

I just ran in to this issue; drove me nuts for a few days. If output_directory is anything other than empty then sonarr won't bring in the converted file.

I had mp4_automator output_directory set to /downloads/converted . Sonarr would scan that folder and think the show is called "converted" rather than going by the file that's in the folder called "Show.S01E01.HDTV.mp4"

I think it's a sonarr issue.

[daphatty]

Forgive me for digging up an old issue. I ran into this problem on a new setup and can't seem to figure out the cause. In my case, I'm using SABNZBD for downloading. Once the post-processing is complete, the scripts attempt to pass everything back to Sonarr and nothing happens. The process gets to - "2018-02-06 17:56:41 - autoprocess.sonarr - INFO - Sonarr notifier started."

FWIW, my Sonarr settings match morpheus2n2's recommended config. I'm not really certain where to check from here. Completed Download Handling and Drone Factory are disabled in Sonarr. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

[morpheus2n2]

Need a couple of bits of info.
Are Sabnzbd and Sonarr both on same machine or different?
What OS are you running them on?
Have you put the right API key in?
Have you turned of "Completed Download Handling" In Sonarr under Indexers?
Does sonarr have permission to access folder your completed download is in?
I find that if you set the Sonarr service to log in as you and not with its default setting it helps with a lot of odd behaviour Here's how.

[daphatty]

@morpheus2n2 Thanks for the feedback. After reading your post, I gave my autoProcess.ini another look and realized I hadn't yet updated the Sonarr settings from the old Sonarr box (network) to the new Sonarr box (localhost). Once I updated the settings, the new Sonarr box began to complete the process as expected.
