Radarr auto search not triggered | Seerr | Page 1

Hi team. I have checked the enable automatic search for radarr settings but this is not being respected and/or sent to radarr anymore. Requests are recieved and parked as wanted in radarr until manual search. Radarr events log confirms the MovieSearchService is never triggered… this has only occurred recently- maybe since an updated to seer/radarr?

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 5:17 AM

#

I dont think its related to update to seerr/radarr because if so it should affect everyone else too (mine searches)

#

Could you share seerr logs

#

And also service configuration

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 5:48 AM

#

On the seer side i get:

[info][Media Request]: Sent request to Radarr {"requestId":379,"mediaId":401}

on the radarr side i get:

[Info] AddMovieService: Adding Movie [Title(20XX)][tt1XXXXXX, 62XXX] Path: [/data/media/movies/Title (20XX)]

No other relevant info or warn logs i could see..

#

I am on latest tagged versions of seer (2.7.3)/radarr(6.something)

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 6:07 AM

#

And then radarr logs when an item was added

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 6:32 AM

#

The above second log is from radarr:

#

Do yu have debug logs turned on

#

Also can you confirm if you press automatic search button on radarr its able to automatically grab

#

Not manual search

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 6:42 AM

#

I dont have debug turned on (i dont think) and yes automatic search is fine once manually triggered.

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 6:43 AM

#

frosty fiber I dont have debug turned on (i dont think) and yes automatic search is fine once...

Please turn on debug logs and add

#

So we can check

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 6:57 AM

#

Debug was actually on. Nothing more to add re logs..

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 7:16 AM

On radarr?

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 7:55 AM

@frosty fiber

#

I just tested on radarr v6

#

all working

see it hit the MovieSearchService

#

I would recommend either trying the following:

delete the radarr service configuration and reconfigure
untick automatic search option, save, and re-tick it

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 8:01 AM

#

What is the flag for radarr?

#

For debug.

#

Also i will try deleting and reconnecting anyway

faint jewel Nov 17, 2025, 8:21 AM

#

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 10:32 AM

#

No change on delete/reconnect and with debug on. So strange.

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 10:34 AM

#

frosty fiber No change on delete/reconnect and with debug on. So strange.

Can you send logs

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 10:34 AM

Thus much worth

#

Like about 8 lines or so

From radarr

#

And just to be sure automatic search is on in radarr services right?

This is on the latest radarr version

Enable automatic search is 100% ticked.

Only radarr log is:

Standard info logs around that

None of these logs? Not even media cover service? Metadata service?

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 10:41 AM

#

No none. Literally just the one above immediately after hitting request in seer

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 10:42 AM

#

frosty fiber No none. Literally just the one above immediately after hitting request in seer

Then you mighty have somw other issue with your radarr setup because those media cover service and stuff should be logging and is unrelated to seerr

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 10:44 AM

#

They all turn up only after going to wanted in radarr, selecting the movie and hitting ‘search movie. It all actions exactly as it should. Just doesnt fire off from seer

Hmm let me turn off automatic search and see what it logs

#

this is with automatic search turned off

#

notice how it did not do a moviesearch but it still had all these logged

#

if you dont believe me

#

#

here's a screenshot

#

#

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 10:53 AM

#

I am on the same radarr

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 10:53 AM

#

worthy lantern

all those info logs get logged when i add any new series whether i have automatic search turned on or not

#

Can i see you radarr media management settings?

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 10:55 AM

#

Can do, but its basically stock..

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 10:56 AM

#

frosty fiber Can do, but its basically stock..

So is mine

#

I just deployed this

#

But this seems related to your radarr instance and not seerr at this point

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 10:56 AM

#

worthy lantern

Because these are not being logged when you add new media

#

The only other thing on seerr side i could think of is try fallenbagel/jellyseerr:develop (after taking a config backup)

#

Or seerr/seerr:develop after taking a backup

#

You could try inspecting the network logs to see what parameters seerr is requesting radarr api's

#

If the parameter includes automatic search then it really is not related to seerr

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 11:02 AM

#

worthy lantern

And this not being replicated on your instance is very odd too

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 11:02 AM

#

Yes that would be good to confirm the automatic search is being sent to the api.

#

It doesntmake sense that a request through radarr itself works just fine though… points to seer being the issue.

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 11:12 AM

#

frosty fiber It doesntmake sense that a request through radarr itself works just fine though…...

Yes but I just provided proof above ^

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 11:12 AM

#

worthy lantern Or `seerr/seerr:develop` after taking a backup

So i woild suggest trying this

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 11:12 AM

#

worthy lantern

Including this being triggered

#

And out of everyone using seerr you're the only outlier so far. So it could just be either

#

Radarr instance configuration issue or

#

Seerr configuration issue

#

Or instance issue

#

Without further information cant really guess 🤷‍♂️

#

I suggest upgrading seerr and checking the network logs

#

But i can assure you codewise its passing the parameters. Radarr api hasnt changed. And I can replicate on all my instances movie being properly searched 🤷‍♂️

#

If seerr is the issue (could be an instance error so I suggest trying out maybe a new fresh config too) it should affect everyone

#

I'm just being logical

#

Thats all

#

Even I'm confused why its not triggering those services

#

Let me confirm if it has the same behaviour on 2.7.3

#

Though there wasnt any radarr api changes since

#

#

on 2.7.3 ^

#

it did a search

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 11:22 AM

#

Yeah its super weird. Clearly there is a me issue somewhere like you said! I haven’t changed configs however and it was absolutely working great as expected for a good while..

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 11:22 AM

#

seerr logs

#

do you see these logs?

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 11:23 AM

#

worthy lantern seerr logs

I need to see if you see these logs

#

on seerr side

#

can you show me your debug_level

#

seerr compose

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 11:26 AM

#

Yes i can see those

#

Both radarr accepted request and the radarr add details

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 11:26 AM

#

frosty fiber Yes i can see those

could you send me that log

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 11:27 AM

#

Sure

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 11:27 AM

#

the add details

#

the important detail we are looking for is

 "addOptions": {
            "searchForMovie": true,
            "addMethod": "manual",
            "ignoreEpisodesWithFiles": false,
            "ignoreEpisodesWithoutFiles": false,
            "monitor": "movieOnly"
        },

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 11:32 AM

#

I dont see that in the log

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 11:32 AM

#

frosty fiber I dont see that in the log

could you send the log please

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 11:38 AM

#

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 11:46 AM

#

frosty fiber

According to this log it already exists? It says you have a Enola Homes (2020) (1080p NF WEB-DL x265 Ghost).mkv

#

Are you sure you're requesting a movie that has not been added to radarr yet?

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 12:08 PM

#

Yeah went with a random. Did another one to be sure.

2025-11-17T12:01:40.514Z [info][Notifications]: Sending notification(s) for MEDIA_AUTO_APPROVED {"subject":"LA Apocalypse (2014)"}
2025-11-17T12:01:40.520Z [info][Media Request]: Sent request to Radarr {"requestId":xxxx,"mediaId":xxxx}

these were the only two logs generated.

#

No radarr accepted request log was generated..

#

But it appears in radarr as missing..

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 12:13 PM

#

frosty fiber But it appears in radarr as missing..

Missing as in?

#

Is the media added on radarr already?

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 12:13 PM

#

Looks like for the earlier one that was just seer picking up the fact it was being downloaded

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 12:14 PM

#

worthy lantern Is the media added on radarr already?

Because if the media already is added on radarr, its not gonna trigger a add details thing

#

Because media already exists in radarr

#

Even if file is missing

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 12:15 PM

#

Nah, seer had just triggered a download check task and saw one was being downloaded, and grabbed the info from radarr in reverse.

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 12:15 PM

#

frosty fiber Yeah went with a random. Did another one to be sure. 2025-11-17T12:01:40.514Z ...

Im talking about this

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 12:16 PM

#

By missing i mean it appeared in radarr as if auto search was not enabled. Ready to tell radarr to go look for it.

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 12:16 PM

#

frosty fiber By missing i mean it appeared in radarr as if auto search was not enabled. Ready...

Was the media previously not added to radarr?

#

Like the media should not be listed in the media section

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 12:16 PM

#

No it was not previously added

#

It was not listed at all in the media section.

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 12:17 PM

#

Yeah theres something funky going on with your seerr instance then

#

Ill suggest trying a test new instance

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 12:17 PM

#

Sure i can spin one up fresh and see if it makes a difference.

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 12:18 PM

#

Because I cant recreate this. Im adding new media everytime and its triggering the add details log

#

I would suggest trying force ipv4 first

#

Option turned on as well

#

In new instance

#

To see if network is dropping something

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 12:22 PM

#

Yeah weird. Adding it as soon as it hits radarr and prior to any request onwards from radarr after finding a source?

worthy lantern Nov 17, 2025, 12:25 PM

#

I woild suggest using develop tag too

#

When testing

#

Recommend trying seerr/seerr:develop

#

And then request a completely fresh movie and send full logs

frosty fiber Nov 17, 2025, 12:30 PM

#

Will report back later. Thx for suggestions.
