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 → SettingsDownload ClientsAddSABnzbd:

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:

  1. Add Radarr host (http://radarr:7878) + API key.
  2. Add Sonarr host (http://sonarr:8989) + API key.
  3. 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.
