Symptoms
Cause
Some releases come packed in archives. rtorrent seeds them as they are, so the archives stay. While the media library is on, Unpack archives first (on by default) lets Movie Agent unpack a film or series automatically when its archives hold only video, pictures and an .nfo file, and the volume has room for their contents. It then files the video. A disc image, other files in the archives, a password or a broken archive part leave the release packed, and the row says why. With the media library off, nothing is unpacked automatically.

- A finished film or series is a set of .rar files (.r00, .part01.rar and so on) instead of a video file.

Cause

While the media library is on, Unpack archives first (on by default) lets Movie Agent unpack a film or series automatically when its archives hold only video, pictures and an .nfo file, and the volume has room for their contents. It then files the video. A disc image, other files in the archives, a password or a broken archive part leave the release packed, and the row says why. With the media library off, nothing is unpacked automatically.
Resolution
- In Quick access, press Unpack (the open box) on the finished torrent's row. The button shows only for a complete torrent with archives among its files.
- In the prompt, check how many archives there are, how much space the files need and how much is free. Press Unpack. Once the files are unpacked into the torrent's copy in the completed folder (the Master Folder on the Media library page), a second question offers Delete after unpacking. This permanently deletes that copy's archive parts without sending them to the trash. The torrent keeps seeding from its own files either way.
- With the media library on, open Scraper, find the release's row in Scraper history and press Re-run: organise this download again (the round arrow). Movie Agent files the unpacked video.
- To unpack future releases automatically, keep Unpack archives first on. Find it in the library settings on the Media library page, under Organising and identification.
Notice & Advise
- A dimmed Unpack button means unpacking is blocked, for example because a program contains many separate archives. Press it to see why; Unpack anyway bypasses that check.
- Organise a folder manually does not unpack archives. Unpack first, then organise.
