Troubleshooting

Add Pre-existing Series to Sonarr

1. Existing files should be in a folder for each movie.
2. Movie ➔ Bulk Import Movies ➔ /data/tv
3. Set appropriate import behavior.
4. Search for correct match for episode if needed.
5. Add all existing shows (even no longer aired), these are all scanned when adding shows and will be crufty if not set.

Changing Media Location in Series

If series were imported under a different directory initially, these can be updated.

1. Series ➔ Series Editor
2. Select all series that had location changes.
3. Root Folder (lower right) and enter new folder location.
4. Save.

Ensure no Duplicate Plex Updates

Plex will trigger updates on inotify events if configured to do so. If that is the case:

Connect ➔ Plex ➔ Update Library ➔ Disable.

Otherwise duplicate items will appear on single files.

Failures with Searches

These are DNS resolution failures. Generally these happened because of rate limiting due to large number of changes at one time. Upgrade system packages or re-apply role to ensure the latest mono project certificates are installed as well.

apt update && apt upgrade
