And if it would handle "DELETED" as failure as well you wouldn't need an extra option.

Can you please ask Sonarr team about this? That would make more than adding another delete option for NZBGet.
I have suggested it. I'm not holding my breath.

I think they did not understand you.

If I'm not mistaken (I don't use Sonarr so I may be wrong): when Sonarr sends a nzb to nzbget it then periodically checks the nzb status in nzbget history. When it sees status FAILURE or SUCCESS it handles it correctly. But when it sees status "BAD" or "DELETED" it does nothing. Since the item landed in nzbget history it's done. I would expect Sonarr to handle anything that is not SUCCESS as failure.

Regardless, the status "BAD" must be treat as "FAILURE" without doubts. I cannot add new command "Mark as failure" because existing command "Mark as bad" does exactly that. Take a look at field status as it is represented via API (only few statuses shown, click on link for more info):

Code: Select all

SUCCESS/HEALTH
SUCCESS/GOOD
FAILURE/PAR
FAILURE/UNPACK
FAILURE/MOVE 
FAILURE/HEALTH
FAILURE/BAD
...etc
As you see there many statuses representing failure. All statuses starting with "FAILURE" must be treat as failure. Why would Sonarr have a special processing (ignoring) for status "FAILURE/BAD"? Are you sure it doesn't handle it?

I understand. I'm not 100% sure that Sonarr isn't handling bad in some way- i will investigate further. Thanks.

Sonarr doesnt handle the marked BAD items as FAILED. Had some discussion with markus a while back, and they weren't gonna add the marked BAD items as failed. That's basically why I force a failure of an NZB in the queue (by deleting all but 1 rar file in it) when too much articles are missing when doing a check with the completion script.
