import folder content deletion about docker-amd HOT 6 CLOSED

That could likely be an issues it's only really designed to work with lidarr that is also in a container.

If you want to see what's happening in lidarr, turn up the logging and watch lidarr to attempt to import and look for errors.

This is normal, data is periodically wiped when cannot be imported.

But why? If it can't be imported, I want to manually import it and not have wasted an entire day running the script only to return and see everything deleted.

I guess disabling auto-start would fix this behavior. Thanks for your contribution with this project btw!

I agree with @megadesk. I ran the docker container yesterday and it downloaded several files then today I decided to run the script again. To my surprise, I noticed many album folders were removed from the import folder.

Is there a way to prevent this behavior in the current implementation?

I also noticed upon re-running this script that it skips over previously downloaded albums, including the ones that were downloaded prior but didn't import and were deleted. Is this intended behavior?

Love the project and seeking answers to these issues.

If item was not imported, that means lidarr could not match it. The contents are wiped to prevent items failing to be matched/imported from filling your drive by sitting there forever.

The script is designed to be automated and not require user intervention, hence the cleanup.

That is also why it won't download a previously downloaded item.

I can understand that. That you for taking the time to reply. I appreciate it.

This might be off-topic, I can open a separate issue if desired. I was wondering if I used non-docker lidarr with amd whenever the amd script tells lidarr to import from directory, will it tell it to import from the host directory or the mapped directory?

If it's telling lidar to import from the mapped directory then it won't find it so that could be why it's failing to import.
