qbittorrent webui v4.5.4 Force Recheck not working
qBittorrent & operating system versions
qBittorrent: v4.5.4 WebUI Operating system: running the linuxserver/qbittorrent container which i believe is alpine linux, runs on my synology nas Qt: 6.5.2 libtorrent-rasterbar: 2.0.9.0
What is the problem?
When adding torrents to cross-seed, sometimes they will get stuck in the paused state and do not recheck. This happens due to them importing with a specific save path that is incorrect, and then me manually switching the location by using set location to the correct one. Even though I am 100% sure it is correct, they will not start re checking. The only work around is to remove the torrents, then add them with the correct location initially.
This wouldnt be a huge issue, but im running into a use case where some of my automation from cross-seed is causing issues, and a subset of my files (i wont get into specifics here cause i think its irrelevant to the actual issue). They get imported with a different location than where the files live. Im fine with just manually changing this subset using set location and rechecking them myself, but it doesnt work. The volume is getting to a point where its not feasible for me to reimport them with the correct location all the time. Ideally id like to just adjust the set location and be able to force recheck.
Steps to reproduce
- Have the full file for a torrent saved in PathA
- Add a torrent but have the path set to PathB (it wont work and will just stay at paused, since thats not the correct location)
- Right click the torrent and select set location and set it to PathA
- Force Recheck (it wont do anything)
Additional context
Ive read other topics about some similar issues but I think this one may be different?
I've never had "Append .!qB extension to incomplete files" checked, so thats not the issue here. I've tried restarting qbittorrent after doing set location, still does not initiate a recheck once restarted. I've tried unchecking the "Keep incomplete torrents in" option (and then restarting qbit). Still does not initiate a reche
