Seedbox configuration

Local Machine Configuration

Completed Download Handling Option

Enable this option if you want Sonarr to remove the downloaded file from the download client on seedbox after import.

Do NOT enable this option if you wish to seed. Please refer to the Seeding Options section of this guide to meet seeding requirements before removal.

Remote path mapping allows you to tell Sonarr where your download client stores finished downloads and where Sonarr should look for finished downloads. This is especially helpful when running Sonarr on a remote machine or inside Docker 🐳

Example:

Seedbox download client (Deluge) places finished movies in the directory /home/user/Downloads/finished and you use SyncThing or ResilioSync to put those files onto a local machine inside a folder named /home/user/finished_downloads.

Library Import (video)

Importing your library is easy by using the Library Import option inside the settings toolbar. You can easily batch import series, and select the monitoring type, series type, quality, and root folders of each series all at once or one by one.

Episode naming

Here you can set how Sonarr handles the Episode Naming process. Please make sure to follow the format shown in the settings area to ensure Sonarr (and Plex) are able to read your media correctly.

Importing

🌟 It’s recommended that you enable the “Use Hardlinks….” option if you are torrenting to allow seeding to continue

Here we can set the way Sonarr handles importing new downloads. You can also set Sonarr to Import Extra Files to include artwork, .nfo, and subtitles.

Searching for episodes of existing series

When you need to search for missing episodes of a pre-existing series there are 3 ways to accomplish this. Automatic Search, Manual Search, and RSS.

Adding a series is quick and easy using the search bar!

Once you find the series you’d like to download you can select the quality profile and custom tags for each series to ensure you get the best quality downloads.

When you want to see how your downloads are doing you can check the Activity Queue tab for an update.

Sometimes, Sonarr may not automatically import the episode (i.e. Episode title mismatch). In this case, you can manually import the episode by selecting the "👤" icon.

These settings are purely based on your own personal preferences.

4K settings are set to ‘max’ because I want the best quality possible. However, these settings NEED to be adjusted to a lower amount to enjoy a comfortable streaming experience using 4K. Especially if you intend on having multiple streams.
