System Warnings

Radarr

• Branch is not a valid release branch
  • The branch you have set is not a valid release branch. You will not receive updates. Please change to one of the current release branches.
• Update to .NET Core version

• • Newer versions of Radarr are targeted for .NET. We provide legacy mono builds for those platforms that cannot use .NET. You are running one of these legacy builds but your platform supports .NET.
  • Fixing Docker installs
    • Re-pull your container
  • Fixing Standalone installs
    • Back-Up your existing configuration before the next step.
    • This should only happen on Linux hosts. Do not install .net core runtime or SDK from microsoft. To remedy, download the correct build for your architecture. Please note that the links are for the master branch. If you are on develop or nightly you'll need to adjust /master/ in the URL.
      • x64
      • arm64
      • arm
    • Delete your existing binaries (contents or folder of /opt/Radarr) and replace with the contents of the .tar.gz you just downloaded.
    • DO NOT JUST EXTRACT THE DOWNLOAD OVER THE TOP OF YOUR EXISTING BINARIES.
      YOU MUST DELETE THE OLD ONES FIRST.
      • wget --content-disposition 'http://radarr.servarr.com/v1/update/master/updatefile?os=linux&runtime=netcore&arch=x64' Download the .net binaries. The example is for a x64 installation.
      • sudo systemctl stop radarr Stop Radarr
      • sudo mv /opt/Radarr /opt/Radarr.old Backup the old Binaries
      • tar -xvzf Radarr*.linux-core-x64.tar.gz Extract the Radarr Tarball
      • sudo mv Radarr/ /opt Move the new Radarr Binaries
      • sudo chown radarr:radarr /opt/Radarr Ensure Radarr has permissions to its directory
      • sudo rm -rf /opt/Radarr.old Remove the old binaries
      • sudo rm -rf Radarr*.linux-core-x64.tar.gz Remove the Tarball
      • Update your startup script in your systemd ( sudo nano -e /etc/systemd/system/radarr.service) to call Radarr instead of calling it with mono like mono --debug Radarr.exe. In other words you want, as an example, /opt/Radarr/Radarr and not mono --debug /opt/Radarr/Radarr.
        • If Radarr doesn’t start, ensure you have the dependencies listed here installed.
      • systemctl daemon-reload Reload the Systemd Files
      • sudo systemctl start radarr.service Restart Radarr

• Currently installed mono version is old and unsupported
  • Radarr is written in .Net and requires Mono to run on BSD and very old ARM processors.
  • Mono 5.8 is the absolute minimum for Radarr but Mono 5.20 is currently recommended and is the minimum requirement on nightly builds.
  • The upgrade procedure for Mono varies per platform.

• Currently installed SQLite version is not supported
  • Radarr stores its data in an SQLite database. The sqlite3 library installed on your system is too old. Radarr requires at least version 3.9.0.

• New update is available
  • Rejoice, the developers have released a new update. This generally means awesome new features and squashed piles of bugs (right?). Apparently you don’t have Auto-Updating enabled, so you’ll have to figure out how to update on your platform. Pressing the Install button on the System -> Updates page is probably a good starting point.
  • (This warning will not appear if your current version is less than 14 days old)

• Cannot install update because startup folder is not writable by the user
  • This means Radarr will be unable to update itself. You’ll have to update Radarr manually or set the permissions on Radarr’s Startup directory (the installation directory) to allow Radarr to update itself.

• Updating will not be possible to prevent deleting AppData on Update
  • Radarr detected that AppData folder for your Operating System is located inside the directory that contains the Radarr binaries. Normally it would be C:\ProgramData for Windows and, ~/.config for linux.
  • Please look at System -> Info to see the current AppData & Startup directories.
  • This means Radarr will be unable to update itself without risking data-loss.
  • If you’re on linux, you’ll probably have to change the home directory for the user that is running Radarr and copy the current contents of the ~/.config/Radarr directory to preserve your database.

• Branch is for a previous version
  • The update branch setup in Settings/General is for a previous version of Radarr, therefore the instance will not see correct update information in the System/Updates feed and may not receive new updates when released.

• Could not connect to signalR
  • signalR drives the dynamic UI updates, so if your browser cannot connect to signalR on your server you won’t see any real time updates in the UI.
  • The most common occurrence of this is use of a nginx reverse proxy. Nginx requires the following addition to the location block for Radarr:

proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;

• • Make sure you do not include proxy_set_header Connection "Upgrade"; as suggested by the nginx documentation. THIS WILL NOT WORK
  • See https://github.com/aspnet/AspNetCore/issues/17081
  • For apache reverse proxy you need to add to the configuration:

Include /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy_wstunnel.load
ProxyPass "/socket" "ws://127.0.0.1:7878/socket"
ProxyPassReverse "/socket" "ws://127.0.0.1:7878/socket"

• For Caddy (V1) use this:
  • Note: you'll also need to add the websocket directive to your radarr configuration

 proxy /radarr 127.0.0.1:7878 {
     websocket
     transparent
 }

Sonarr

• Branch is not a valid release branch
  • The branch you have set is not a valid release branch. You will not receive updates. Please change to one of the current release branches.

• Currently installed .Net Framework is old and unsupported
  • Sonarr uses the .Net Framework. We need to build Sonarr against the lowest supported version still used by our users. Occasionally we increase the version we build against to be able to utilize new features. Apparently you haven't applied the appropriate Windows updates in a while and need to upgrade .Net to be able to use newer versions of Sonarr.
  • Upgrading the .Net Framework is very straightforward on Windows, although it often requires a restart. Please follow the instructions here.

• Currently installed .Net Framework is supported but upgrading is recommended
  • Sonarr uses the .Net Framework. We need to build Sonarr against the lowest supported version still used by our users. Upgrading to newer versions allows us to build against newer versions and use new Framework features.
  • Upgrading the .Net Framework is very straightforward on Windows, although it often requires a restart. Please follow the instructions here.

• Currently installed mono version is old and unsupported
  • Sonarr is written in .Net and requires Mono to run. Various versions of Sonarr have different minimum versions of Mono to operate correctly. The ideal version of Mono varies per platform.
    
  • Mono 5.4 is the absolute minimum for Sonarr v3 but Mono 5.20 is currently recommended.
  • The upgrade procedure for Mono varies per platform.

• Currently installed mono version is supported but upgrading is recommended
  • Sonarr uses the .Net Framework which Mono implements for your system. We need to build Sonarr against the lowest supported version still used by our users. Upgrading to newer versions allows us to build against newer versions and use new Framework features.
  • The upgrade procedure for Mono varies per platform.

• New update is available
  • Rejoice, the developers have released a new update. This generally means awesome new features and squashed piles of bugs (right?). Apparently you don't have Auto-Updating enabled, so you'll have to figure out how to update on your platform. Pressing the Install button on the System -> Updates page is probably a good starting point. But while you're at it, read the change log to find out what the relevant changes were.
  • (This warning will not appear if your current version is less than 14 days old)

• Cannot install update because startup folder is not writable by the user
  • This means Sonarr will be unable to update itself. You'll have to update Sonarr manually or set the permissions on Sonarr's Startup directory (the installation directory) to allow Sonarr to update itself.

• Updating will not be possible to prevent deleting AppData on Update
  • Sonarr detected that AppData folder for your Operating System is located inside the directory that contains the Sonarr binaries. Normally it would be C:\ProgramData for Windows and, ~/.config for linux.
    
  • Please look at System -> About to see the current AppData & Startup directories.
  • This means Sonarr will be unable to update itself without risking data-loss.
  • If you're on linux, you'll probably have to change the home directory for the user that is running Sonarr and copy the current contents of the ~/.config/Sonarr directory to preserve your database.
• Package Maintainer Message
  • Please refer to the specific message your package maintainer is indicating to you. This is not a Sonarr issue. For additional information, refer to your package maintainer. Your package maintainer can be found in System -> Status -> About. Note that this includes docker and your package maintainer is whomever maintains your docker image.

Download Clients

Radarr

• No download client is available
  • A properly configured and enabled download client is required for Radarr to be able to download media. Since Radarr supports different download clients, you should determine which best matches your requirements. If you already have a download client installed, you should configure Radarr to use it and create a category. See Settings -> Download Client.

• Unable to communicate with download client
  • Radarr was unable to communicate with the configured download client. Please verify if the download client is operational and double check the url. This could also indicate an authentication error.
  • This is typically due to improperly configured download client. Things you can typically check:
    • Your download clients IP Address if its on the same bare metal machine this is typically 127.0.0.1
    • The Port number of that your download client is using these are filled out with the default port number but if you've changed it you'll need to have the same one entered into Radarr.
    • Ensure SSL encryption is not turned on if you're using both your Radarr instance and your download client on a local network. See the SSL FAQ entry for more information.

• Download clients are unavailable due to failure
  • One or more of your download clients is not responding to requests made by Radarr. Therefore Radarr has decided to temporarily stop querying the download client on it’s normal 1 minute cycle, which is normally used to track active downloads and import finished ones. However, Radarr will continue to attempt to send downloads to the client, but will in all likeliness fail.
  • You should inspect System->Logs to see what the reason is for the failures.
  • If you no longer use this download client, disable it in Radarr to prevent the errors.

• Enable Completed Download Handling
  • Radarr requires Completed Download Handling to be able to import files that were downloaded by the download client. It is recommended to enable Completed Download Handling.
  • (Completed Download Handling is enabled by default for new users.)

• Docker bad remote path mapping
  • This error is typically associated with bad docker paths within either your download client or Radarr
    • An example of this would be:
      • Download client: Download Path: /downloads:/mnt/user/downloads
      • Radarr: Download Path: /data:/mnt/user/downloads
      • Within this example the download client places its downloads into /downloads and therefore tells Radarr when its complete that the finished movie is in /downloads. Radarr then comes along and says "Okay, cool, let me check in /downloads" Well, inside Radarr you did not allocate a /downloads path you allocated a /data path so it throws this error.
      • The easiest fix for this is CONSISTENCY if you use one scheme in your download client, use it across the board.
      • Team Radarr is a big fan of simply using /data.
        • Download client: /data:/mnt/user/data
        • Radarr: /data:/mnt/user/data
        • Now within the download client you can specify where in /data you'd like to place your downloads, now this varies depending on the client but you should be able to tell it "Yeah download client place my files into." /data/torrents (or usenet)/movies and since you used /data in Radarr when the download client tells Radarr it's done Radarr will come along and say "Sweet, I have a /data and I also can see /torrents (or usenet)/movies all is right in the world."
    • There are many great write ups by some very talented people one on our wiki Docker Guide and the other by TRaSH with his How To Set Up Hardlinks and Atomic-Moves Now these guides place heavy emphasis on Hardlinks and Atomic moves, but the general concept of containers and how path mapping works is the core of these discussions.

See TRaSH's Remote Path Guide for more information.

• Downloading into Root Folder
  • You're downloading directly into your root folder. This frequently causes issues and is not advised. To fix this change your download client so it is not placing downloads within your root folder. Please note that this check looks at all defined/configured root folders added not only root folders currently in use.

• Bad Download Client Settings
  • The location your download client is downloading files to is causing problems. Check the logs for further information. This may be permissions or attempting to go from windows to linux or linux to windows without a remote path map.

• Bad Remote Path Mapping

• Permissions Error
  • Radarr or the user radarr is running as cannot access the location your download client is downloading files to. This is typically a permission issue.

  • The location your download client is downloading files to is causing problems. Check the logs for further information. This may be permissions or attempting to go from windows to linux or linux to windows without a remote path map.

• Bad Remote Path Mapping
  • The location your download client is downloading files to is causing problems. Check the logs for further information. This may be permissions or attempting to go from windows to linux or linux to windows without a remote path map. See TRaSH's Remote Path Guide for more information. The link is for Radarr, but the same concept applies.

• Permissions Error
  • Lidarr or the user lidarr is running as cannot access the location your download client is downloading files to. This is typically a permission issue.

Readarr

• No download client is available
  • A properly configured and enabled download client is required for Readarr to be able to download media. Since Readarr supports different download clients, you should determine which best matches your requirements. If you already have a download client installed, you should configure Lidarr to use it and create a category. See Settings -> Download Client.

• Unable to communicate with download client
  • Readarr was unable to communicate with the configured download client. Please verify if the download client is operational and double check the url. This could also indicate an authentication error.
  • This is typically due to improperly configured download client. Things you can typically check:
    • Your download clients IP Address if its on the same bare metal machine this is typically 127.0.0.1
    • The Port number of that your download client is using these are filled out with the default port number but if you've changed it you'll need to have the same one entered into Readarr.
    • Ensure SSL encryption is not turned on if you're using both your Readarr instance and your download client on a local network. See the SSL FAQ entry for more information.

• Download clients are unavailable due to failure
  • One or more of your download clients is not responding to requests made by Readarr. Therefore Readarr has decided to temporarily stop querying the download client on it’s normal 1 minute cycle, which is normally used to track active downloads and import finished ones. However, Readarr will continue to attempt to send downloads to the client, but will in all likeliness fail.
  • You should inspect System->Logs to see what the reason is for the failures.
  • If you no longer use this download client, disable it in Readarr to prevent the errors.

• Enable Completed Download Handling
  • Readarr requires Completed Download Handling to be able to import files that were downloaded by the download client. It is recommended to enable Completed Download Handling.
  • (Completed Download Handling is enabled by default for new users.)

• Docker bad remote path mapping
  • This error is typically associated with bad docker paths within either your download client or Readarr
    • An example of this would be:
      • Download client: Download Path: /downloads:/mnt/user/downloads
      • Readarr: Download Path: /data:/mnt/user/downloads
      • Within this example the download client places its downloads into /downloads and therefore tells Radarr when its complete that the finished book is in /downloads. Readarr then comes along and says "Okay, cool, let me check in /downloads" Well, inside Readarr you did not allocate a /downloads path you allocated a /data path so it throws this error.
      • The easiest fix for this is CONSISTENCY if you use one scheme in your download client, use it across the board.
      • Team Readarr is a big fan of simply using /data.
        • Download client: /data:/mnt/user/data
        • Readarr: /data:/mnt/user/data
        • Now within the download client you can specify where in /data you'd like to place your downloads, now this varies depending on the client but you should be able to tell it "Yeah download client place my files into." /data/torrents (or usenet)/books and since you used /data in Readarr when the download client tells Readarr it's done Readarr will come along and say "Sweet, I have a /data and I also can see /torrents (or usenet)/books all is right in the world."
    • There are many great write ups by some very talented people one on our wiki Docker Guide and the other by TRaSH with his How To Set Up Hardlinks and Atomic-Moves Now these guides place heavy emphasis on Hardlinks and Atomic moves, but the general concept of containers and how path mapping works is the core of these discussions.

• Downloading into Root Folder
  • You're downloading directly into your root folder. This frequently causes issues and is not advised. To fix this change your download client so it is not placing downloads within your root folder. Please note that this check looks at all defined/configured root folders added not only root folders currently in use.

• Bad Download Client Settings
  • The location your download client is downloading files to is causing problems. Check the logs for further information. This may be permissions or attempting to go from windows to linux or linux to windows without a remote path map.

Indexers

Radarr

• No indexers are enabled
  • Radarr requires indexers to be able to discover new releases. Please read the wiki on instructions how to add indexers.
• Enabled indexers do not support searching
  • None of the indexers you have enabled support searching. This means Radarr will only be able to find new releases via the RSS feeds. But searching for movies (either Automatic Search or Manual Search) will never return any results. Obviously, the only way to remedy it is to add another indexer.
• Indexers are unavailable due to failures
  • Errors occurs while Radarr tried to use one of your indexers. To limit retries, Radarr will not use the indexer for an increasing amount of time (up to 24h).
  • This mechanism is triggered if Radarr was unable to get a response from the indexer (could be dns, connection, authentication or indexer issue), or unable to fetch the nzb/torrent file from the indexer. Please inspect the logs to determine what kind of error causes the problem.
  • You can prevent the warning by disabling the affected indexer.
  • Run the Test on the indexer to force Radarr to recheck the indexer, please note that the Health Check warning will not always disappear immediately.

Media

Radarr

• Movie was removed from TMDb
  • The movie is linked to a TMDb Id that was deleted from TMDb, usually because it was a duplicate, wasn't a movie or changed ID for some other reason. Deleted movies will not receive any updates and should be corrected by the user to ensure continued functionality. Remove the movie from Radarr without deleting the files, then try to re-add it. If it doesn't show up in a search, check Radarr because it might be a TV miniseries like Stephen King's It.
    
  • You can find and edit deleted movies by creating a custom filter using the following steps: 1. Click Movies from the left menu 2. Click the dropdown on Filter and select “Custom Filter” 3. Enter a label, for example “Deleted Movies” 4. Make the filter as follows: Status is Deleted 5. Click save and select the newly created filter from the filter dropdown menu

• Lists are unavailable due to failures
  • Typically this simply means that Radarr is no longer able to communicate via API or via logging in to your chosen list provider. Your best bet if the problem persists is to contact them in order to rule them out, as their systems maybe overloaded from time to time.

Sonarr

• Series Removed from TheTVDB
  • The affected series were removed from TheTVDB, this usually happens because it is a duplicate or considered part of a different series. To correct you will need to remove the affected series and add the correct series.
