Hey everyone! So I’ve setup successfully Sonarr, Radarr and Bazaar and they all communicate to each other fine.
One think I can’t understand why, is that when I search from Prowlarr and forward the downloads to SABnzbd, after the download is done, Sonnar and Radar will not import the files to their database, but the downloads stay in the downloads folder.
When I search and download from Sonarr and Radarr everything is placed nicely. Using Usenet and hardlinks; so downloads in X folder and moved to Y(tv shows) and Z(movies) folders. In Sonaar and Radarr I’ve mapped such folders as you might understand.
Is this how Prowler works (meaning) downloads just stay in the download client folder and then I have to manually import them to Sonarr and Radarr?
Unfortunately, that is how the *arrs are meant to function. Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr are meant to be set & forget. Prowlarr can be used for manual searching, and it is fairly good at it because it is a search aggregator, but if you manually search on Prowlarr, you have bypassed the *arrs and they will not see what you grab, because you necessarily haven’t told them that you’ve grabbed anything. I do not believe Prowlarr is capable of going the other direction, and Prowlarr should be used with the *arr suite because of category searching.
All that to say that, the *arr apps are functioning as intended, it is you that is not conforming to them.
I should also say, that you can search manually in the *arrs, but its fairly tedious.

No shade or anything, just informing.
Yup! All I have to setup now is bigger hard drives since I can’t stop downloading now…!
