Some questions and clarifications on Setup

Open deten opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

For Sonarr YTDL:

First off thanks for doing this, theres a few things that are confusing me about setup and I want to make sure I am doing this right:

  1. -v /path/to/sonarrmedia:/sonarr_root \ - Is path to Sonarr Media, the location that downloaded videos should be placed?
  2. I assume that and files downloaded would be stored in a folder with the "title" listed in the config.yaml under series, is that correct?
  3. -v /path/to/logs:/logs \ - Is path to logs the Sonarr subfolder logs in wherever the "config" of sonarr is located?
  4. In Config, where do I get api key? Do I use the same API key from the Sonarr "General" tab in settings? Do I need to set authentication to anything, or is none okay?
  5. In Config, under series: Can I put multiple title/url lines in a row?
  6. How can I tell if files are downloading?

Thank you so much again, I am really excited to get this going. If this is not the right place to clarify these questions, please let me know. I am not sure things are working right.

  1. It appears to download directly into where sonarr is storing the shows. As you can have multiple directories in sonarr and those might not be mounted in one folder I believe the best course of action is to mount each directory as it's own folder inside /sonarr_root
  • /path/on/host/totv:/sonarr_root/tv
  • /path/on/host/totv2:/sonarr_root/tv2
  • etc
  1. It appears to follow sonarrs naming to some degree and yes it should save it directly to the show's directory.
  2. This appears to be a typo, this is where you want the script to save its logs
  3. Yes it's sonarrs API key
  4. Yes you should be able to monitor multiple series as such series:
  • title: Series name in sonarr url: youtubeurl
  • title: Second series name in sonarr url: youtubeurl
  1. I found the easiest way is to check the logs, if you are using docker, you can run docker logs containername to bring up the logs.

Sorry @deten, life has been busy but glad to see that @Critical-Impact answered your queries. Honestly the documentation could do with touching up to cover any vagueness that I left in there. As an outsider to working on it you have highlighted some issues. I will try soon to get this done but I am open to any suggestions/clarifications you throw my way.

Does PUID and GUID work for getting permissions correct?
