My question: If this is what your talking about Its not there "Media Your library at a glance" I guess I'm looking in the wrong place SparkBox AI replied: Yeah, that's not it — "Your library at a glance" is a different card (that's your library stats: movie/show counts, size, etc.), not the pipeline warning card. Honestly, I don't have the exact location of that "Into your library" warning card documented well enough to keep guessing menu names at you — I've already sent you to the wrong spot once. Rather than keep fishing, screenshot your Media tab as it currently looks (scroll to show everything) and paste it here, or hit Share to demox — that'll get you either the exact spot or confirmation from Tom on how to clear it. What I still need help with: (describe what didn't work or what's still broken) Good Morning, I'm trying to remove this notification from my dashboard but I have no idea how to get to "Into your library". I was the one who stopped the download and this notification popped up on my dashboard and I want to remove it :Into your library: 1 download disappeared before it reached your library — that's why it doesn't show up in Jellyfin. Radarr sent "Blade.Runner.2049.2017.1080p.BluRay.REMUX.AVC.DTS-HD.MA.5.1-HDH" to the download app, but no longer sees it and never filed it.Open Radarr → Activity → History to see what happened to it. If the files are still in your downloads folder, press Manual Import at the top of Activity → Queue and point it at that folder — nothing is lost. If they are gone, re-request it and it will download again.

Hi Bigmayes — that notification does not have a dismiss button. It is intentional and stays on your dashboard until the import issue is actually resolved. Since you stopped the download yourself, the Into your library card is showing you that Radarr sent it to qBittorrent but then the download disappeared before it could be filed into Jellyfin. To clear it, open Radarr Activity History, find the Blade.Runner.2049 entry, and click the trash icon to remove it from Radarrs history. Once Radarr clears it, the card will go away on its own. If the files are still in your downloads folder and you want them back, use Radarr Activity Queue Manual Import and point it at that folder.

That's the thing, there's nothing in activity and I've deleted it completely from radarr. I figured there was something else I was missing and the AI was telling to : "Try this in the SparkBox dashboard: Open Media. Find the Into your library card. Click the Blade Runner warning. Use Dismiss, Clear, or the ⋯ menu." But I didn't see or shall I say thought I was overlooking something. Well ok then and thanks anyway

I just restarted it again and it cleared. Can you tell me exactly how do I add movies from my download folder to sparkbox?

I'm using Ubuntu on PC by the way

Hi Bigmayes — great, the restart cleared it. To add movies from your downloads folder to your media library, Radarr has a built-in manual import tool: 1. Open Radarr 2. Go to Activity → Queue 3. Click Manual Import at the top 4. Point it at your downloads folder (or the subfolder with the movies) 5. Radarr will scan for video files, match them to movies in your database, and move them to your library folder If Radarr recognizes the files, it handles the move and rename automatically. If it can't match a file, you can manually select the correct movie from the dropdown. Once Manual Import completes, the files will be in your Jellyfin library and ready to watch.

I'm a newbie with linux so with that said, I don't know how to navigate to my downloads folder on my desktop to import my media in Radarr. The AI told me I can't do it that way so I thought I would ask you
Chris wrote:
No problem — Linux file navigation is different from Windows, so let me walk you through it. In Radarr's Manual Import tool, you need to type the path to your downloads folder. On Ubuntu, it's likely one of these: 1. Most common path: /home/username/Downloads (replace username with your actual username) 2. If you're not sure of your username: open a terminal and run: whoami This will print your username. 3. To find your downloads folder manually: open your file manager (Files app in Ubuntu), click Downloads on the left sidebar — the path bar at the top shows the folder path you need. Once you have the path, paste it into Radarr's Manual Import dialog and Radarr will scan for video files. If you get stuck on the path, you can copy it directly: open Files, go to Downloads, then right-click in an empty area and select "Copy location" (or press Ctrl+L to show the path bar, then copy it).

I know I'm doing something wrong but it says no files found. Also I didn't see an import in Activity → Queue, but there was that option under the movies tab. I went into my downloads folder and just copied the address and past it in and chose move automatically first and nothing happened then I chose interactive import and nothing happened. Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong cause it really seemed simple to do but I guess I was wrong

Hi Bigmayes — let me help narrow this down. The "no files found" message usually means one of two things: the path format is wrong for Radarr, or the video files aren't actually in that location. Let's verify both. Can you: 1. Open a terminal and run: ls -la /home/username/Downloads/ (replace username with your actual username) Reply with what you see — do you see video files (mp4, mkv, etc.) in that folder? 2. If yes, copy the exact path that appears when you run pwd in that folder, and paste it here. Once I can see those two things, I'll know if it's a path format issue or if the files are somewhere else on your system.

Here I go with another stupid question, What is "pwd" and how to run it? All my movies and tv shows showed up with the first command
Chris wrote:
No stupid questions here — pwd stands for "print working directory" and it shows you exactly where you are in the file system. To run it: open a terminal and type: pwd Then press Enter. It will print something like /home/bigmayes/Downloads — that's the full path to your Downloads folder. So the full steps are: 1. Open terminal 2. Type: cd /home/username/Downloads (replace username with your actual username, which you got from the whoami command) 3. Type: pwd 4. Copy the path it prints 5. Paste that path into Radarr's Manual Import dialog Since you said the files showed up with the first ls command, you're in the right folder. The pwd will just confirm the exact path to paste into Radarr.

Sorry — the first answer sent you hunting for a Dismiss option that does not exist, and pointed you at the wrong page on top of that. What that message really is: not a notification, but a live status light on the dashboard home page, in the Media pipeline row. It is recalculated from Radarr about once a minute. It lights up when Radarr handed something to the download app and then lost track of it, and it goes out by itself as soon as Radarr has nothing unfinished — which is exactly why it cleared after your restart. There is nothing to dismiss, and it ignores anything older than two days anyway. On adding your own files: I also gave you a path that cannot work. Radarr only sees the media folder you picked when you set SparkBox up, never the Downloads folder in your home directory — that is why it says no files found. Copy the movies into the downloads folder inside that media folder first, then in Manual Import type /data/downloads (or a folder under it) — that is the path Radarr understands. We have corrected what the assistant knows about both points so nobody else goes looking for that button.
