Hey everyone! So I've setup successfully Sonarr, Radarr and Bazaar and they all communicate to each other fine. One think I can't understand why, is that when I search from Prowlarr and forward the downloads to SABnzbd, after the download is done, Sonnar and Radar will not import the files to their database, but the downloads stay in the downloads folder. When I search and download from Sonarr and Radarr everything is placed nicely. Using Usenet and hardlinks; so downloads in X folder and moved to Y(tv shows) and Z(movies) folders. In Sonaar and Radarr I've mapped such folders as you might understand.

Is this how Prowler works (meaning) downloads just stay in the download client folder and then I have to manually import them to Sonarr and Radarr?

I'm pretty sure you have to set up categories in SABnzd so it knows what file type goes where. Set a movie category and point to a folder that radarr looks for. Then do the same for shows and point it to a folder sonarr looks for.

My setup is like this: I have a downloads (might call it root) folder where SAB downloads everything. From then I have another mapped folder where Sonarr sees and another that Radarr sees, since such function exists in those 2 apps and then those downloads are automatically moved. If i set such categories (in folders? or categories? tab, if I remember correctly) then the respective downloads with go directly to the mapped Sonarr-Radarr folders...I'm confused, but I get the logic and will try it. Thank you for your input.

You shouldn’t be downloading into Sonarr and radar’s root folder. You should have a separate folder for tv, and a separate folder for movies

I'm not. I'm downloading in a downloads folder. From then those files are moved to sonarr's radarr's folders automatically.
