The Seedbox is just a remote download server I use to download from Usenet/Torrents via Sonarr/Radarr. It then moves off that server to my Plex server via Syncthing. I was able to successfully connect to my Plex server via "Connections" in the settings, but I can't seem to get it to see what I have there. I have several instances where it downloaded the same movie four times in different formats, even though I have it set to only 1080p. Maybe I'm just missing something in the setup or a true understanding of how those apps work. I'm pretty new at this.
Gotta manually import everything.
Radarr doesn't work with Plex, it works with files.
It could be downloading the same movie if it's having connection errors with your seedbox. I have everything running locally and run into this occasionally. The radarr logs should tell you what happened.
The other possibility is your quality profiles aren't setup properly. When you view a profile, the way the formats are sorted (4k remux, 1080p Blu-ray, 1080p Web-DL, etc) tells radarr the priority of qualities you want and it'll keep upgrading until it hits the cutoff. With brand new content, there's also a delay setting so that it'll wait a set amount of time to download something when it first hits the internet (e.g. wait 30 minutes before choosing a file to allow for better quality uploads).
And as the other user said, with media that you already had when you setup radarr, you'll need to manually import it.
