Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

I'm trying to configure Sinology Download Station inside Lidarr, testing goes well, but keeps asking for a value inside the optional "Directory" (Optional shared folder to put downloads into, leave blank to use the default Download Station location). Cannot leave blank and none of the mounted drives or shared drivers in Synology appears to work as input.

Expected Behavior

The field appears optional, but doesn't work as such, still requires input and no input seems valid.

Steps To Reproduce

Environment

- OS: Synology
- Lidarr: 2.11.2.4629-ls43 by linuxserver.io
- Docker Install:
- Using Reverse Proxy:

Please upgrade to latest and try again, if it happens again please share trace logs in txt format and not csv like the troubleshooting guide recommends.

Looking at github.com/Lidarr/Lidarr@96f956a5d6/src/NzbDrone.Core/Download/Clients/DownloadStation/TorrentDownloadStation.cs (L75), seems to intentional.

Just remove the leading / and you should be fine.

It's asking for a folder - not a directory
