When choosing a title on seerr it wont come up in qbitorrent.

Posted by Grimma84

Hello, some times i request a show or movie, sonarr or radarr will find it, but it wont start on qbitorrent. i understand sometimes movies are not out yet, but i know for a fact these movies or shows are out, and it still wont start to download them. other shows and movies will. so i have tried to delete the requests, and all files associated with these shows and movies and try to request again and nothing... not sure if i did something wrong?

You didn't do anything wrong — this is really common, and it's usually not about whether the movie is out. When you request something, Radarr (or Sonarr for shows) picks one particular copy being shared online and hands it to qBittorrent. If nobody's actively sharing that exact copy anymore, it just sits there and never starts, even for a big popular title — while other requests sail through. Quick check: open Radarr, click Activity at the top, and look at the stuck title — if it's sitting at 0% or says stalled, that's what happened. Click the little magnifying glass next to it to search again and it'll grab a different copy. If one still won't go after that, tell me which title and I'll dig in.
