When requested through Seerr, qbittorrent doesn't save them to the correct folder so jellyfin actually never sees them.

Hey BirdMan, let's find exactly where this is getting stuck before changing anything. Open your SparkBox dashboard home page and look for the "Media pipeline" strip near the download apps - it reads Sonarr/Radarr's own import status and names the exact stuck stage in plain English (Download app / Indexers / Storage / "Into your library"), usually with a short reason attached. Can you tell me exactly what it says there? Also, two quick facts that change the fix: is this Docker Desktop or Windows with WSL2 Docker Engine, and what SparkBox version are you on (shown in the banner at the top when you run any sparkbox command, e.g. sudo sparkbox up)? That pinpoints whether it's a folder/root-path mismatch or something else - no reset needed either way.

Thanks - that reading is useful, but the pipeline strip only reflects what's happening right now (it re-checks every minute), so it can look clear between requests even if a specific Seerr-triggered import gets stuck and never gets fixed. Can you do this one check: request a title through Seerr again, wait until qBittorrent marks it 100% complete, then immediately open the SparkBox dashboard home page and check the Media pipeline strip. Paste back the exact stage it names (for example Storage, or "Into your library") plus whatever detail text sits next to it. That will tell us whether this specific request is landing somewhere your arr app is not watching, or something else - no need to touch any settings yet.

qbittorrent is downloading them to /data/downloads. I will request one like you asked and try and watch it i might miss the window.

I think i resolved this issue. My Libraries were pointed to high. I made another Library pointed just at /data and the movies started populating.

Glad you are unblocked, and thanks for reporting back what fixed it -- that helps future readers too. One heads-up: pointing a library straight at /data works, but it will also pull your downloads/incomplete folders into that same library since everything under /data gets scanned together. SparkBox actually sets up two separate libraries by default for exactly this reason -- Movies pointed at /data/Movies and TV Shows pointed at /data/TV -- so if you would rather keep things split cleanly, you could repoint your new library to /data/Movies (and add a second one at /data/TV for shows) instead of the whole /data root. No rush either way since it is working now.
