Indexer "Bitsearch" doesn't sync to the Apps even though it's enabled

[lpapadakos]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

During Indexer Sync in the Prowlarr UI there is nothing out of the ordinary, however in the indexer settings of Sonarr and Radarr the index is not being added. I think this is because Prowlarr expects the indexer to return some categories that its not returning?

The fact that the indexer is inside the list when adding a new one, indicates that it's supported and it at least used to work at some point.

Expected Behavior

Sync finishes and the Bitsearch indexer is visible in Sonarr and radarr Indexer settings.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Add Bitsearch indexer and enable it
2. Click "Sync App Indexers" and wait for it to finish
3. Go to Sonarr/Radarr Indexer Section. Bitsearch is not there.

Environment

- OS: Arch Linux x86_64
- Prowlarr: 1.23.1.4708

Please read the instructions when adding a new indexer.

@mynameisbogdan Ok I didn't know such a buried place inside the modal could have a message, thansk for the answer

The message itself doesn't really help users regarding what to do next. I added it manually though Torznab on Sonarr but from what I can see, I went into Settings > Apps and on the categories for Soanrr and Radarr, added the Other (8000) Category as a valid sync category, and now it syncs correctly. I think the message should mention that this can be done in Prowlarr's settings.

And the location of the message should be on the top of the modal

[mynameisbogdan]

Sure, please open a pull request with the recommended changes and we'll take a look at them.

Honestly I might that's a good idea. At least the text.

I had the same issue. Solved adding category 8000 in Prowlarr/Settings/Apps/Radarr/Sync Categories (must enable advanced settings). BitSearch synched immediately. TorrentsCSV still does not appear in Radarr, despite it having (only) category 8000.
