I was amazed when I found it this was how you were supposed to do it, and also kinda mad about there being no way for me to go back and seed the thousands of torrents I had renamed to get them to play right with Plex imports. Oh well, you live and you learn. If you have any issues the sonarr subreddit has some great guides in the sticky section and fairly helpful users that should be able to get the symlink think sorted out. Noone tells you that’s how it’s supposed to be when you start, you kinda have to bump into the information when you get mad about this very problem.
Good luck! I bet you’ll be pretty happy with the drastic reduction in labor once you set it up
There’s a silver lining because for some reason qBit updated and I lost hundreds of torrents including for private trackers. So my old workflow of managing via moving torrent locations is broken anyhow. Time to just restart, get new torrents, manage them better, and try to manually reorganize files that don’t have a torrent file anymore. Thank you!!
Sonarr/radar will organize and rename the ones without torrents for you… Don’t do it manually. Just point them (sonarr/radarr) at the downloads folder as an import folder.
Sonarr is for TV and radarr is for movies, if you didn’t know.
