Delete original files after Sonarr/Radarr has finished importing them

sonarr_radarr_clean_up.py

# The purpose of this script is to remove the original file after
# Sonarr/Radarr has completed importing the file. This script can be
# scheduled to run using crontab or configured in sonarr/radarr
# to run after every import. This is up to you.

# (https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wiki/Custom-Post-Processing-Scripts)
# Passing arguments has been disabled in Sonarr v3 which is why I have this
# made this script.

# In order for this script to work properly you will need to disable
# "Rename Episodes" under "Episode Naming" in Sonarr/Radarr settings.
# The script works by checking all the imported files to see if the
# 'file to be imported' has already been imported. If it has then it 
# will delete the original file. 

# It's best to run this script on a schedule using crontab (or something similar)
# Use at your own risk. I am not responsible for any accidents.

Hey, this a very common problem as it seems. How to run this within Sonarr itself?

hmm is it normal to get errors, I get in in cronjob that would not matter but it looks concerning to me:

# python sonarr_clean_up.py

Removing imported file: ShowXY.S01E08.1080p.WEBRip.x265-RARBG[eztv.re].mp4

The only change I did was split it up in 2 scripts and have only 1 directory in folders_to_check because both services get downloaded in different import_from_dirs.

Also I had to start it 2 times because it stopped after deleting the first folder and this error seem to stop the script.

I mean it seems to make sense that after it removed the 8. file from a 8 episodes season to then delete the folder... yet for some reason it tries to make a getsize on the 7. episode.

Oh doesn't it understand the concept of a full series as 1 folder download? so it expects 1 episode in a separate folder? so to make that work I would have to check if the folder is empty before I delete it?

Hi, can you help me? While I was trying to add custom script I got this message "An error occurred trying to start process '/downloads/sonarr_radarr_clean_up.py' with working directory '/app/radarr/bin'. Permission denied"

@Atlarwin make sure the script has execute permissions
