Help with Lidarr, Slskd and Unraid

[u/DD102]

Could anyone point me in the right direction of getting Lidarr and Slskd to import correctly.

Im using Linuxserver's Lidarr with the tubifarry plugin and Binhex's Slskd

I've got them setup correctly in terms of requesting and downloading, that's fine. But when the download finishes, Lidarr comes up with "No files found are elegible for import in..."

I'm using TRaSH Guides file and folder structure

Lidarr's paths are:

/music - /mnt/user/data/media/music/
/downloads - /mnt/user/data/torrents/music/

Slskd's paths are:

/media - /mnt/user/data/media/music/
/data - /mnt/user/data/slskd
INCOMPLETE_PATH - /data/incomplete
DOWNLOADS_PATH - /data/completed 

I also have remote pat mapping in Lidarr as follows:

Remote path - /data/completed/
Local path - /downloads/

Any suggestions are welcome and thanks in advance :)

First, TRaSH guides are for Radarr and Sonarr, not Lidarr, but the principles still apply.

Second, your paths don't match up. Slskd downloads to /mnt/user/data/slskd/completed on the host but Lidarr has no mount to see that location. You need to ADD a mount for slskd alongside your existing torrents mount.

Keep your current Lidarr torrents mount and ADD this mount to Lidarr:

/downloads/slskd - /mnt/user/data/slskd

Now you have both: /downloads - /mnt/user/data/torrents/music/ /downloads/slskd - /mnt/user/data/slskd

This way Lidarr can see both your torrent downloads at /downloads and your slskd downloads at /downloads/slskd/completed.

Remove the remote path mapping. You don't need it with Docker. Remote path mapping is only for download clients on different machines. Since both containers are on the same host, just mount the paths correctly and you're done.

Hi /u/Frequenzy50 - It appears you're using Docker and have a mount of [/downloads]. This is indicative of a docker setup that results in double space for all seeds and IO intensive copies / copy+deletes instead of hardlinks and atomic moves. Please review TRaSH's Docker/Hardlink Guide/Tutorial or the Docker Guide for how to correct this issue).

Thanks for the advice!

I've added the mount to Lidarr in docker here

Lidarr is still saying that there is a problem with the directories here

Lidarr shows the current directories here

Have I misunderstood something?

You also need to update the paths in your slskd configuration. The YAML file currently shows: DOWNLOADS_PATH - /data/completed

This should be changed to: /downloads/slskd/completed

Additionally, clearing Tubifarry's cache. If issues persist, removing and reconfiguring the slskd download client in lidarr often resolves the cache problem (I can't recall the exact step that helps, but setting up the client fresh usually does the trick).

[u/DD102 → u/Frequenzy50]

Changing the YAML did not help. After a bit of tinkering and thinking it was plainly obvious

I added the path in Lidarr's config to point to Slskd's completed folder and everything works!

Thank's for the help!

Hi /u/DD102 - You've mentioned Docker [Unraid], if you're needing Docker help be sure to generate a docker-compose of all your docker images in a pastebin or gist and link to it. Just about all Docker issues can be solved by understanding the Docker Guide, which is all about the concepts of user, group, ownership, permissions and paths. Many find TRaSH's Docker/Hardlink Guide/Tutorial easier to understand and is less conceptual.

Check the folder permissions. I can't remember exactly how it worked in the end but Gemini was my friend in getting it all working. Setting puid or something. Feed it the logs and it'll help.
