How to handle multiple root folders?

Open cheddarbob5 opened this issue 11 months ago • 7 comments

I want to separate sonarr and radarr into different root folders depending on tags or genre. I all my movies ends up with the same root folder even though I’ve tried to put tags and categories on them. Also tried profiles etc but the initial root folder are determined by Watchlistarr when a movie or series is added.

Is this possible or do solve by the current release?

Have you found a solution for this? I am facing the same issue trying to separate anime from tv shows. I already tried to set up 2 instances and used tags but it did not work.

Nope, I just move them manually in sonarr/radarr instead.

Give Pulsarr a try.

It's the same workflow under the hood but can route different genres to different folders, etc.

Does this really pickup my friend’s watchlists as well? That was the dealbreaker in the past.

@cheddarbob5

It does. You can configure it not to as well. It also allows you to tag / profile / root folder based on genres, rating etc...
