Sonarr/Radarr Remote path mapping to docker transmission

Question

I'm trying to setup a Sonarr/Radarr server for my plex and I therefor need a torrenter. Currently I use Transmission but I'm not able to get the data from it. Everything works fine until the point where the system shall get the file.

I'm getting the following error:

Request Failed: value [/downloads/complete/Angry Birds (2016) [YTS.AG]]  is not a valid Windows path. paths must be a full path eg. C:\Windows
Parameternamn: path

System.ArgumentException: value [/downloads/complete/Angry Birds (2016) [YTS.AG]]  is not a valid Windows path. paths must be a full path eg. C:\Windows

   vid CallSite.Target(Closure , CallSite , Func`2 , Object )
   vid Nancy.Routing.Route.<>c__DisplayClass4.<Wrap>b__3(Object parameters, CancellationToken context)

The directory where the files are stored is in: D:\MovieFiles\Downloads\complete. But I cant access it and I therefor tried remote path mapping but it gives the error above. From the torrent client that runs on a vm is placed in /host_mnt/d/MovieFiles/Downloads.

Host: 192.168.1.228
Remote path: /host_mnt/d/MovieFiles/Downloads/complete
Local Path: D:\MovieFiles\Downloads\

Any clues how I could connect them together? Starting to give up after I been trying to fix this for 3 days without any success.

This should be possible with the path mapping feature as you have tried. Please try remove the \ from your windows path so that it looks like D:\MovieFiles\Downloads. You might also want to review the Sonarr FAQ which has some info on this here.

Also for this to work, the host address must match in Sonarr's settings for Remote Path Mappings and Download Clients. Another person had a similar issue here.

Explain why this is an answer to the question. – Jeroen Heier Aug 14 '18 at 04:03
@JeroenHeier, the pathname might not be valid when the \ on the end. – David Aug 14 '18 at 04:42
See https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wiki/Completed-Download-Handling#all-download-client-on-different-computer The download client sends a path to the file (such as D:\Downloads) but sonarr doesn't know what that path mean (not aware of that file system). To solve it we need a map to translate D:\Downloads to a folder that is accessible by the container such as /download). This is why the above remote mapping is needed. – U_D Nov 15 '19 at 14:04
