How to handle Missing search for newly added content?

[xinput]

Hello,

I just have installed huntarr for a while now but several times I have run into the following issue:

I add a show or a movie via Jellyseerr. Sonarr/Radarr searches for the movie as it's new and missing, the same time, Huntarr triggers a search when it's missing, so the show/movie get's downloaded twice, one time triggered by sonarr/radarr, the second time triggered by Huintarr.
Did i configured anything wrong or is this working as designed?

A couple of things can cause that to happen depending on your specific situation. Huntarr queries the arrs for wanted media on the schedule you configure, if the configured time is low it is searching frequently which increases the odds of a media getting selected. If you are well into the reset interval there may be few media not already checked so any newly added media has a much higher chance of getting selected and if there are no media left the next added media has a 100% chance of being selected. Same happens if your library has a low number of wanted, any add has a good chance of selection relatively soon.

So basically, things that increase odds of newly added media getting selected for a search by Huntarr are:

1. libraries with low number of wanted
2. most or all wanted media already searched for in the reset interval so any new add likely to be selected
3. rapid searching interval causes # 2 to happen rather quickly
4. High configured number of media to search each interval causes # 2 to happen rather quickly
5. a long configured reset interval will likely cause # 2 to happen
6. If there is a queue on the download client, the media will remain in wanted status until it reaches the top of the queue and gets downloaded and processed by the arr. The longer this time is the more likely Huntarr will select the newly added media from the wanted list.
