Choosing Library Directory for Repairs correctly

[Sandruin]

Version: 0.5.2

For enabling maintenance and repairs a Library Directory path visible by nzbdav should be entered.
From what the tooltip tells me this the folder where radarr/sonarr import titles?
Since they import to different directories am I supposed to add my root-media directory there?
e.g.:
/media/radarr/..
/media/sonarr/..
Library Directory:
/media/

Does nzbdav then look for symlinks / strm files in all directories there?
What do I do if i have these under multiple mountpoints? Mount them together into the container?
If so wouldn't it be easier to just use its internal database of downloaded nzbs?

And how can nzbdav tell which radarr / sonarr instance to notify?

Thanks in advance, amazing tool btw!

Right now repairs expect something like this:

• Radarr Root folder: /mnt/media/movies
• Sonarr Root folder: /mnt/media/tv
• NzbDav Library Dir: /mnt/media

or if you have multiple radarr/sonarr instances. Something like this works too:

• Radarr Root folder: /some/location/movies
• Radarr Root folder: /some/location/movies-4k
• Sonarr Root folder: /some/location/series
• Sonarr Root folder: /some/location/series-4k
• NzbDav Library Dir: /some/location

But If you have something like this, repairs won't work:

• Radarr Root Folder: /movies
• Sonarr Root Folder: /tv
• NzbDav Library Dir: /my-symlinks

And how can nzbdav tell which radarr / sonarr instance to notify

It determines which arr instance to notify by matching the arr's root folder as a prefix of the symlink's path.

I hope that helps!

Thank you for the quick reply.

So for matching the folder prefix correctly the mount point must be the same in sonarr and nzbdav?
Does it check against all root folders of sonarr or just the default?
I might have one ../Anime and ../Series

[nzbdav-dev]

It checks all root folders. It finds the first arr instance that contains at least one root folder that is a prefix of the symlink filepath that points to an unhealthy webdav item.

So if you have a symlink:

• {library-dir}/shows/anime/something/unhealthy.mkv -> /mnt/nzbdav/content/anime/unhealthy.mkv

And have have a radarr instance with root folder:

• {library-dir}/movies

And you have a sonarr instance with two root folders:

• {library-dir}/shows/series
• {library-dir}/shows/anime

Then it would ask sonarr to search for a replacement, since one of the sonarr root folders is a prefix of the symlink path.

yep!
