Okay so, I don't know if it's because I have baby brain or not but I'm struggling to wrap my head around this.

I already have all my automation setup but have now decided I want to transcode any new media that is downloaded BEFORE it is added to Plex. I just can't seem to work out how I would do that.

Currently Sonarr / Radarr do their thing, then the media is moved into the directory of the Plex library.

I feel like the media would need to be downloaded and placed somewhere else for Tdarr to pick it up, them have Tdarr move it to the Plex directory, however, I can see this causing issues in Sonarr / Radarr as it would think that the file is in the Tdarr directory. I'm not aware of any communication between Tdarr and Sonarr / Radarr.

Am I being a smooth brain? Is there any easy way here that I'm not seeing?
