Weird import failed error (Windows 11)

[u/FarCarpenter3423]

Hi, i have just switched from Sickchill to Sonarr. Everything works fine.

But there is something that caught my attention in the logs.

The well known : "Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr".

(yes i read most of those posts, but cant' find my problem in them).

Sonar IS downloading and processing files and i see them show up in Library and in Plex. But i still get the messages in the log, about files that have ALREADY been processed. So yeah those files don't exist.

If i move the files that are shown as not imported (however they ARE in the directory, renamed and well) to the completed directory i can import them. Yet they still show up as not imported, with the filename that has never been downloaded in the warning.

I have all the rights to the directory. (SabNZBd is on same pc and uses same path to the files)

Also between those log entries see files with NORDIC and FRENCH in the name, which should be ruled out. (also those are not showing up in SAB log, so they have never even been in the completed folder, because they have never geen downloaded).

Is there a way to stop those "ghost" files from showing up in the logs? It's getting really cluttered.

the 'ghost files' you are talking about in your logs are probably just RSS releases being parsed.

It sounds like you might not have set the category settings in sabnzbd to be +Delete or have not set sonarr to remove completed or failed downloads on the sab settings in sonarr.

check your settings against the trash guides for sabnzbd
