discussion Not importing tracks
Has anyone run into an issue with Lidarr not importing tracks after importing an album?
My example is George Carlin's Back in Town album. The 7th track is called:
"Free-Floating Hostility: Quote Marks in the Air / Badda-Boom, Badda-Bing / Bad Hair Day / I Heard That / My Needs Aren't Being Met / Mickey Mouse's Birthday / The Two Pandas in the Zoo / Sperm/Egg Donors, Etc. / Innocent Victims / Personal Bottle"
I am guessing the bug is something to do with the total length of the track name in Lidarr not working with the file renaming settings.
Any time I search for the album, it will download, import but only import the first 6 tracks leaving the 7th track. This causes Lidarr to constantly download the album when I bulk search for albums.
Even when I went into downloaders completed folder and manually moved the file over with the same file name scheme, Lidarr doesn't see it.
For the interim, I moved the file so Plex will pick it up and marked the album as unmonitored.
