I recommend unpackerr to deal with those pesky rars.
I've been using qBittorrent to run an unrar command (which fails if there isn't any rar files), it works MOST of the time but it usually extracts the sample first then Sonarr see an MKV and tries to import it, which fails because it doesn't fit the file size requirements of my quality profile.
I'm using a managed host and they don't offer unpackerr. I'll probably end up writing a python script to handle it and all of the weird contingencies. It isn't really annoying to me, since I can just SSH in and fix it in a few seconds but my family members that add things via Ombi will complain when S01E02 is missing from Season 1.
Ah, I am using docker on a Synology NAS and I could never get qbit to unrar things properly. but unpackerr has been like magic. also I have been favoring TL or IPT which seems to use fewer rars. rars seem so antiquated in the modern era, hard to believe those are still used.
I don't think you need root access for unpackerr. Check here for instructions for use on a managed seedbox: https://unpackerr.zip/docs/install/seedbox
Ooo, I'll get it setup this weekend. Thanks a lot! This is probably one of the last annoyances that I have with my setup.
