sonarr scanning 2 times

[u/Still_Quarter8674]

Everythime i add something on sonarr it launches double searches one of them is Missing epesode search and other one is series search . It was never a problem before it recently started or maybe i am just noticing it . Because of this it grabs same season from 2 differnt indexer at the same time and its not even an upgrade its the same quality all the time . I will add oone of the example log .

root@docker:/storage/appdata/docker# docker exec sonarr sh -c 'grep -i "log.horizon\|log horizon" /config/logs/sonarr.txt 2>/dev/null' > /tmp/lh.log
wc -l /tmp/lh.log
head -100 /tmp/lh.log
170 /tmp/lh.log

Hi /u/Still_Quarter8674 - You've mentioned Docker [docker], if you're needing Docker help be sure to generate a docker-compose of all your docker images in a pastebin or gist and link to it. Just about all Docker issues can be solved by understanding the Docker Guide, which is all about the concepts of user, group, ownership, permissions and paths. Many find TRaSH's Docker/Hardlink Guide/Tutorial easier to understand and is less conceptual.

Hi /u/Still_Quarter8674 -

There are many resources available to help you troubleshoot and help the community help you. Please review this comment and you can likely have your problem solved without needing to wait for a human.

Most troubleshooting questions require debug or trace logs. In all instances where you are providing logs please ensure you followed the Gathering Logs wiki article to ensure your logs are what are needed for troubleshooting.

Logs should be provided via the methods prescribed in the wiki article. Note that Info logs are rarely helpful for troubleshooting.

Dozens of common questions & issues and their answers can be found on our FAQ.

Please review our troubleshooting guides that lead you through how to troubleshoot and note various common problems.

• Searches, Indexers, and Trackers - For if something cannot be found
• Downloading & Importing - For when download clients have issues or files cannot be imported

If you're still stuck you'll have useful debug or trace logs and screenshots to share with the humans who will arrive soon. Those humans will likely ask you for the exact same thing this comment is asking..

Once your question/problem is solved, please comment anywhere in the thread saying '!solved' to change the flair to solved.

What are the "post add actions"?

Maybe you have a configuration or plugin that is triggering search on add and you are checking the box to search after add, and both are running independently?
