EXTENSION SCRIPTS

Depending if you're using some NZBGet script here you can change the order or when it should be used

Recommended Sonarr/Radarr Settings

The following settings are recommended for Sonarr/Radarr, else it could happen that Sonarr/Radarr will miss downloads that are still in the queue/history. Being that Sonarr/Radarr only looks at the last xx amount in the queue/history.

Sonarr

??? example "Sonarr"

`Settings` => `Download Clients`

![!Sonarr: Settings => Download Clients](images/sonarr-settings-download-clients.png)

Make sure you check both boxes under `Completed Download Handling` in step 3.

Select NZBGet in step 4 and scroll down to the bottom of the new window where it says `Completed Download Handling` and check both boxes.
