Shows Not Being Downloaded

Check the following:

• Ensure your indexers are properly configured and working
• Verify your download client is running and accessible
• Check that your quality profile isn't too restrictive
• Look at the "Wanted" tab to see if shows are in the queue

If Sonarr can't find or move files:

• Ensure the user running Sonarr has proper permissions
• Verify your paths are consistent between Sonarr and your download client
• Check for path mapping issues if running in Docker
