Connect Radarr / Sonarr¶
InfiniDysk speaks the SABnzbd API surface *Arr apps expect. Hostnames below assume a shared Docker network.
The Setup Guide can collect and test Radarr/Sonarr connections and displays the download-client values below. Use this page for the complete manual procedure or troubleshooting.
Add the download client¶
In Radarr or Sonarr → Settings → Download Clients → Add → SABnzbd:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | InfiniDysk |
| Host | nzbdav (or reachable hostname) |
| Port | 3000 |
| API Key | InfiniDysk Settings → SABnzbd → API Key |
| Category | Match categories you configured (e.g. movies, tv) |
Test the connection. Prefer addfile when clients can upload NZB bytes; addurl to private indexers needs Trusted local hosts since 0.8.0.
Register *Arr in InfiniDysk¶
Settings → Radarr/Sonarr:
- Add Radarr host (
http://radarr:7878) + API key. - Add Sonarr host (
http://sonarr:8989) + API key. - Configure Automatic Queue Management for stuck import messages (remove / blocklist / search).
Registered and enabled instances light up the Overview Arr Health widget since 1.2.0. See Radarr/Sonarr settings.
Align import paths¶
| Strategy | InfiniDysk setting | *Arr / media server |
|---|---|---|
| Symlinks | Rclone mount dir e.g. /mnt/remote/nzbdav |
Same path must exist inside *Arr |
| STRM | Completed dir e.g. /mnt/completed-downloads + Base URL |
The completed-downloads path must exist at the same absolute path inside *Arr; the media server must reach Base URL |
Enable Repairs with a Library Directory once paths and *Arr instances exist — Repairs.
Rejected compressed archives¶
InfiniDysk intentionally rejects compressed RAR and 7z archive contents. Direct
streaming and seeking require stored, uncompressed payloads: RAR m0 or 7z
Copy/store. This is a streaming design limitation, not an application error.
Choose another release with stored archives or direct media files. This restriction
does not apply to video codecs such as H.264 or HEVC, or to the NZB manifest itself.
These rejections are reported through SABnzbd history with status: "Failed"
and an explanatory fail_message. For downloads grabbed and tracked by Sonarr
or Radarr, that is the normal failed-download signal used for blocklisting and
replacement handling. Enable automatic redownload of failed downloads in the
Arr application's download-client settings to request a replacement search;
interactive-search grabs have a separate automatic-redownload setting.
InfiniDysk does not directly force an Arr search for this rejection. Manually uploaded NZBs without matching Arr grab history do not trigger that automatic workflow, and a search can only grab another release if an eligible one is available.
