Files always get truncated after downloaded and moving to specific tv/movies folder

Post by gulsmy »

After downloading a file, and all the parts get moved to the specific sonarr/radarr folder, the resultant mkv file gets pulled by sonarr/radarr and its only one part. About 10-100MB when the original file is 1GB-60GB.

I am unfamiliar with this area, can someone help me understand why these files are getting truncated down to a small fraction of their original size?

I see that there are many parts.rar in the folder and the top file is usually the mp4 or mkv file. Is Sonarr/Radarr seeing that one top file and thinking its done, then pulling the uncombined file?

I would appreciate someones help!

I figured it out. I was using unrar-free from the Debian 12 repository. Which I guess doesn't have the features SABnzbd wants?
Not sure why unrar isn't even in Debian's repo... they usually have everything under the sun.

I got the new binary from rarlab

Didn't you get a warning in the SAB GUI?
