Version: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-lidarr (latest)
When I manually import music, the custom script event for import is not firing.
Not sure about automatic imports as I dont add music that way.
Not sure about the upgrade event either (which I also have enabled).
I am using printenv >> /config/loggy.txt in my script to test. The Test button fires it OK

Cheers,
Chris

From what I can gather this is intended behaviour between sonarr radarr etc.
I really don't think it should be.
Manual imports should still call the import event for custom scripts.
When doing a manual import, the tag event gets called during the tagging phase.

I'm surprised that this was a specific design decision. I can't understand it. Given testing scripts only outputs data for EventType, I have to add and download a new album every time I change something in my script, to test that it works.

@sdfg2 @Chris230291 I was able to trigger the custom script by changing 'combine with existing files' to 'replace files' as per https://github.com/lidarr/Lidarr/issues/853
