It downloaded one episode of one show, so I know it’s configured properly in that regard. It is connected to Ombi, qBittorrent, and Jellyfin.

Not sure why it’s not fetching the rest of the media? Again, it got just a single episode of a single show and that’s all it downloaded. I was hoping it would go after whole season downloads rather than individual episodes

Anyway to approach this issue?

    Check on activity page to see if its stuck on found/downloading/extracting/importing

    Check trackers/sources aren’t down

    Check in log.txt for exceptions

      I went to the queue and nothing was there, only one out of my 15 trackers was down,

      I saw somewhere you can make the software look for seasons by navigating to the show and clicking the magnifying glass next to it, and now it’s added a bunch of episodes to the queue.

      I’ll have to dig through the log file because now it’s downloading hundreds of episodes so the log got all thicc on me

      Anyway to make it prefer whole seasons though? I’ve got 146 torrents running now, lol

        It depends whether a whole season torrent exists or not. If sonarr can identify one thats a whole season, it should download that when you search at season level. If youve searched individual episode at a time, youll get a single one.

        You can do an interactive search and iirc specify full season during that search

        The magnifying glass next to each season header will automatically search for season packs and pick a download for you. The person icon will do it interactively, where you see the results and select which one(s) you want to download.

        This is the case across Sonarr. Magnifying glass at the top of a series will auto search for all missing, monitored episodes. Same applies at individual episode level, but the the person icon does it interactively, in case you want to select the specific release you want to download.

        Edit: here’s a screenshot showing what I mean

        You may need to play around with quality settings (pr trackers) if you notice that it never downloads season packs.

        Also when you add a new show, at the bottom of the window, there should be a checkbox asking you whether or not you want it to automatically search for missing episodes, so be sure that’s checked.

    Are you expecting sonarr to go after historical stuff? You have to manually request a search for anything added that isn’t being released in the future. Sonarr only automatically checks for new episodes, not old ones. Like others have said, season searches and interactive searches are useful for anything that’s not airing in the future.
