Errors & Warnings

This section contains a list of warnings you might see in your console output / logs. These are usually caused by configuration issues or something else within the user's control to fix. Below are examples of messages you may see with some guidance on how to address them.

Custom format with trash ID e23edd2482476e595fb990b12e7c609c is duplicated 1 times in quality profile SD with the following scores: [500]

This situation is caused by specifying a custom format more than once under the same Quality Profile. Whether the score is different or not doesn't matter; the score is shown in the warning message to assist you with debugging the problem.

The below YAML is an example of what will cause this warning.

custom_formats:
  - trash_ids:
      - e7718d7a3ce595f289bfee26adc178f5 # Repack/Proper
      - e23edd2482476e595fb990b12e7c609c # DV HDR10
    assign_scores_to:
      - name: SD
        score: 1000
  - trash_ids:
      - e23edd2482476e595fb990b12e7c609c # DV HDR10
    assign_scores_to:
      - name: SD
        score: 500

Above, you can see that "DV HDR10" (Trash ID e23edd2482476e595fb990b12e7c609c) is specified twice for the same quality profile named SD. The solution to this warning is to remove one of the two custom formats. In this case, to demonstrate the solution, I'll remove the copy that is assigned a score of 1000:

custom_formats:
  - trash_ids:
      - e7718d7a3ce595f289bfee26adc178f5 # Repack/Proper
    assign_scores_to:
      - name: SD
        score: 1000
  - trash_ids:
      - e23edd2482476e595fb990b12e7c609c # DV HDR10
    assign_scores_to:
      - name: SD
        score: 500

No configuration YAML files found

Recyclarr could not find any YAML configuration files to load or files specified were missing. There are three ways to provide configuration data:

  1. Via the recyclarr.yml file.
  2. One or more YAML files in the configs directory.
  3. Paths to YAML files provided via the --config command line argument.

When using the CLI, the files provided must exist. To solve this error, use one of the above methods to provide your YAML configuration. See the documentation about default YAML configuration for more information. There is also an example showing multiple configuration files and their structure.

Incompatible value assigned/used at line 7: Invalid cast from 'System.String' to 'Recyclarr.TrashLib.Config.Services.QualityDefinitionConfig'

As of version 4.0.0, the syntax for quality_definitions changed. You must manually change to the new format. See the v4 release notes.

Docker-Specific Errors & Solutions​

A series of troubleshooting steps for docker-specific issues.

Permission Issues​

The /config volume is very sensitive to user changes in the container. For example, if you first run the container using user: 1000:1000 and then run a second time using user: 1500:1500, you are likely to get errors. This is because files that Recyclarr creates are owned by the user & group you specify. Not all files can be used by multiple users.

If you change your user and/or group IDs, it is your responsibility to update the ownership of files in the /config volume so that they match the UID and GID you are specifying. This can be done through the chown command and may require root permissions on your host system.

Non-Docker Errors & Solutions​

The troubleshooting steps documented here are for the non-docker version of Recyclarr (running it directly on a host machine). The Docker page has troubleshooting steps as well.

Failed to create CoreCLR, HRESULT: 0x8007000E

This means "Out of Memory". Ensure you have enough memory on your system. If you do, try setting the DOTNET_GCHeapHardLimit environment variable to 10000000 and try again.

  • On Mac or Linux OS, you may see the following error when you run recyclarr:

    Failed to map file. open(/Users/foo/Downloads/recyclarr) failed with error 13
    Failure processing application bundle.
    Couldn't memory map the bundle file for reading.
    A fatal error occurred while processing application bundle

    This cryptic message is actually a permissions error, likely because your executable does not have read permissions set. Simply run chmod u+rx recyclarr to add read + execute permissions on the recyclarr executable.

  • When communicating with Radarr or Sonarr, you get the following exception message:

    FlurlParsingException: Response could not be deserialized to JSON: GET http://hostname:6767/api/v3/customformat?apikey=SNIP ---> Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Deserialized JSON type 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JArray' is not compatible with expected type 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject'. Path '', line 1, position 2.

    This means your Base URL is missing from the URL you specified in the YAML. See issue #42 for more details.
