Sure, will probably take a few days to get a feel.. I've yet to have it stay stable for a whole week so that'll probably be a good indication.
no problem, I'm in no rush on this.

Ah, thanks, I'd already managed to install mono on the base jail, but wasn't sure how to get sonarr running on it, that seems to have done the trick, hopefully stability will improve now!
Does that mean you installed the new mono to your sonarr jail and changed the path? As before, I'm not good with this stuff.

Also apologies from earlier Joshua, Sonarr decided to start working properly. It seems that using the restart function in the tasks menu fixes the bugs. I haven't had a problem since I got it working a week ago, and I've downloaded well over 250gb since.

I was a bit over my head with your instructions, as mentioned I'm very beginner with this stuff. A friend of mine helped me set it up initially, but he's living overseas now.

That is basically what I did, yes.

Though sad to say, it doesn't seem to have helped stability on my system.

Anyone else having problems getting the sonarr plugin to actually update from 2.0.0.3645 to 2.0.0.3732? Update process seems to perform fine but version remains the same. I've even jexec'd into the jail and manually did a /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sonarr restart.

Maybe you could try restarting the jail. I know the way sonarr updates itself confused the rc script.

Yes, there's some issue with the update process and a function it's trying to call. If you go examine the logs it complains about:

"
16-1-6 10:43:36.6|Fatal|UpdateApp|An error has occurred while applying update package.

System.NotSupportedException: This system does not support EnumProcesses
at (wrapper managed-to-native) System.Diagnostics.Process:GetProcesses_internal ()"

Not tried digging into yet, as I just need to outright reinstall currently..

Is it as simple as doing a git clone from inside the jail to a specific directory to refresh the source? I'm up for that but unsure where it would need to be applied.
I don't think so, sonarr is a compiled program. its probably more like 'fetch'ing the exe

I did finally get the thing updated by going into the jail and extracting the tar.gz from the update dir in /tmp then overlaying the files in the dir /usr/local/etc/share/sonarr (this was symbolically linked to another dir and that's the one I overwrote..making sure "Media:wheel" remained the user:group. Worked fine. If it wasn't for the fact sonarr worked so much better than sickrage I'd kick it to the curb for all this flakiness.

I am also experiencing the same issue with the update.

Thanks for the update. I find Sonarr to be very stable, this was the first time I have really had any problems since the plugin was released.

For now extracting the update and copying the files manually is a temporary fix.

Anyone having issues with the sonarr backend dying at random times? I'm not seeing anything in the log either...the webpage just goes dark and a popup says "backend lost" or something similar. Sonarr appears to be still running with a "ps"...it will be unresponsive till I bring the jail down and back up.

This has occured on two builds...the 2nd was a clean install where I only copied over my /var/db/sonarr to isolate what the problem could be.

Are you still having trouble with it? I just attempted installing it for the first time and the package (appears to be......) outright completely broken. It fires up a jail, gets an ip, responds to ping but the web interface simply doesn't come up, browser can't find anything?

I currently use sickbeard and thought I'd take a look at a competing product, is this one something to maybe be wary of?

I gave up on it and went back to sickrage which has been working fine for months. You might like sickrage over sickbeard as it adds some additional features while still being very similar to sickbeard. Sonarr looks nice and I liked the way it managed series better than sickrage but in the end reliability counts. I don't have time to nurse it along and check if it's running every few hours.

I install sonarr via pkg and it's been running great for over a year now. Plugin works just fine also but I can't control updates using the plugin so I use pkg.
