Sonarr post processing script to remove video file from packed torrent, modified version of subzero79/87a347a07964390884c9

sonarr_cleanup_packed_torrent.sh

# Identifiable portion of path to torrents, so it will only run on torrents.
# For example, a path of "/data/torrents/tv", "torrents" is a good choice.

1. Have your Torrent client extract the file into the same folder that the rar's are in. For Deluge, I am using the built-in Extractor plugin. Extractor Picture

2. Modify sonarr_cleanup_packed_torrent.sh for your file structure, then download and extract where you want to store it.

• For my modification to the script, I have my torrent client put completed torrents in /data/Complete (which is mapped to /mnt/user/Downloads/Complete).

3. Navigate to the file in Windows, right click > properties > security tab > enable read & execute for all listed users, mine are "everyone", "nobody", and "users". Security Picture. If you do not enable this, Sonarr will give you an Access Denied error when running the script.

4. Make sure your Sonarr docker has access to where you put the script file, for example I put mine in a new share called Scripts, so I added /Scripts to Sonarr's access. Sonarr Access in unRAID

5. In Sonarr settings, go to connect > + > custom script. Name it whatever you like. Disable "On Grab", Enable "On Download" and "On Upgrade", Disable "On Rename". Leave "filter series tags" blank. For the path, navigate to the location of the script. If you did not give Sonarr access to the script's location you will not be able to find it here. Leave "arguments" blank. Test and make sure it succeeds. Hit save. Script Picture

Important: If you are getting an error that says "Unable to send OnDownload notification to: ..."
This error is caused by Sonarr not having permission to execute the script. In windows, navigate to the file, right click > properties > security tab > edit -- Check Allow for Read & execute for all users. My user names were: "Everyone" "nobody (Unix User\nobody)" and "users (Unix group\users)". Then hit "Okay"

This can also be modified to work with Radarr! Just change all the instances of sonarr in the code to radarr and fix the permission with windows.
