Multi-part "sample" mkvs refusing to import into plex

Normally my *arr -> Plex setup is quite painless, but lately I've had a bunch of imports failing which appear to be multi-part files with a .MKV file in a "sample" subdirectory.

Does anyone know if I can sort it so these files import properly? Or how to filter them before downloading? I'd rather a fix if possible because certain torrents don't have many options.

EDIT: There's a fix. https://unpackerr.zip Automatically unzips these rar containers into coherent files for importing via sonarr/radarr. I suppose you can do this manually with tar if you're brave.

I also recommend unpackerr if you're getting zip and rar files, but that wasn't clear from your original post. Just know if you track hardlinks with something like qbit_manage, those torrents will show up as having no hardlinks.

merthyr1831 OP ,

Yeah I didn't realise they were rar formats from how they show up on disk - Usually people name.their.torrents.like.this so it fucks up typical file name conventions.

I'll keep that in mind too, thanks! Not using qbitmanage yet though I'll have to look into that 👀
