Every torrent in Transmission has environmental variables, and one of these is called TR_TORRENT_DIR. Since Transmission does not support labels, we will do it by changing Sonarr’s download directory to one that differs from Transmission’s default settings, and use this directory kind of like a label. So somehow, Transmission needs to know whether the file was fetched by Sonarr or not. So what we want is to have Filebot process every download, but let Sonarr move the files that it has fetched itself. This interferes with Sonarr’s own Completed Download Handling, as it wants to do the same job, but by the time it gets going, Filebot has already moved the files.

When a download is complete, Filebot will unzip, rename, clean up and move the file to my Media folder (in which I keep all of my sorted and renamed TV shows and movies).

Sonarr fetches new episodes or I download a series/movie manually -> Filebot takes care of everything else when the download is complete. I have Transmission (though almost any bit torrent client can do this) set up to run the Filebot Automated Media Center script after a download is complete. I need it for organising my movies, and also to unzip series, since 90% of the content I download is compressed, and Sonarr doesn’t have that feature yet. While I really love Sonarr, my automated media center would not be complete without Filebot. This is just a different approach that I personally prefer. Solutions to this problem have already been suggested in related topics, e.g. For Transmission, it isn’t quite as straight forward… With some download clients, this is easily done using labels.

I will show you how you can set things up so that Filebot will post process every file you download (both series and movies), while still letting Sonarr import the files that have been fetched by Sonarr (using Drone Factory). And even if an episode is not downloaded twice, it’s still annoying to see the episode as missing in Sonarr. In the meantime, episodes might be downloaded again, because Sonarr doesn’t know it’s there. The files will not be registered until the periodic task Refresh Series is run, which is once every 12 hours. also use Filebot to process episodes downloaded without Sonarr and/or to process moviesĪs you are probably aware of, if you have Filebot set to process all downloaded files, it will interfere with Sonarr’s Completed Download Handling, which means episodes are not automatically detected and imported by Sonarr.
