Seems that a lot of people don't understand how the remote path mapping works for Radarr. I will try to explain it with some screenshots and a short description.

Remote Path Mapping acts as a dumb find `Remote Path` and replace with `Local Path`
## Do I need Remote Path Mappings
## When do I need remote path mappings
- If Radarr and your download client are not on the same server/system.
- If you use either merged local/remote setups using mergerfs or similar
- You run dockers and **DON'T** have Consistent and well planned paths.

!!! note
If you run dockers it would be smarter to fix the problem at the source what's causing the actual issue.

### Local Path
To find what you need to put in in your local path you need to know how Radarr is able to access the files your download client downloaded. And this can be done in different ways. Mounting/Network share whatever but Radarr needs to have local access to it so you need to figure this one out your self what's the best way for Radarr to access the download clients downloaded files.
