Originally created by @beefycheddar on GitHub (Apr 6, 2017).

It would be helpful if Radarr could set the extension of a file incoming from a Remote Path Mapping file copy could have and extension added to the end of the file name, like this: movie.mkv.temp. This extension should be removed once the copy is complete so Plex/whatever can pick up the new media file.

I copy over a sub 10mbps connection from the nzb downloader server. The copy works fine, but during the copy, Plex picks up the movie as if it were ready to watch, but it's not ready yet. My connection speed fluctuates and a file copy can take an hour or more. This unwatchable show causes confusion and does not pass the wife test.

What do you think?

I think this is a good idea too, it'd be mildly helpful even for slow local network copies as well. Really, it is just a safe thing to do overall.

@beefycheddar For now you could send a notification once Radarr has finished importing the file. This should enable whoever wants to watch the movie to know exactly when it is ready to go.

When there is an update one will be posted. asking for updates is not a good habit to get into :)

this is also tagged as sonarr upstream, which implies it'll be more likely to get done if it is implemented in sonarr.
