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?
Prowlarr will use it’s own folder only if you search inside prowlarr, and the downloads are kept there.
If you search and download inside radarr/sonarr, then they will move the download to theirs own root folders. (Considering you have one for each, and another to prowlarr).
Prowlarr’s search with its own folder to downloads is a good way to have somewhere where you can manually search what you want and manipulate files outside radarr/sonarr.
