Script to refresh monitored downloads in Sonarr/Radarr

RefreshMonitoredDownloads.py

# Script to trigger the RefreshMonitoredDownloads task in Sonarr and Radarr
# Sonarr/Radarr only checks the monitored downloads every 60 seconds which
# means that your download could be done in 20 seconds but it'll sit there
# for an additional 40 seconds before Sonarr/Radarr check again. This script
# will run when a download finishes and trigger the RefreshMonitoredDownloads
# task.

Great @Warbs816! Yea what you posted is something I had in mind.

Maybe worth checking if you have some old version of SAB or some switch flipped in the settings that marks a download only complete after a the script finishes running?

But obviously if SAB waits for the script to finish it will also wait for the sleep call to finish hence rendering it useless. Triggering a second script might be the only way for you then.
