Anime search result not parsed with absolute number

Sonarr Version: 2.0.0.4230
Mono Version: 4.2.2 (Stable 4.2.2.30/996df3c Thu Mar 17 11:46:47 CET 2016)
OS: Synology DSM 6
Description of issue: I have trouble searching for anime episodes (In my case it’s Naruto episodes).
I have configured the show as anime, Sonarr search the torrent with the absolute episode number . But when results are found, it try to parse the episode number with “SxxExx” and not the absolute number.
So Sonarr found torrents but i can’t download any of them because of “Unable to parse episode number from release name” error.

The parser think i’ve got S04E67 istead of E467…
Is there a specific configuration to enable so it’ll parse with absolute episode number?

NB: I try to search for similar post but didn’t find anyone, sorry for duplicate post if one exists.

Oh… I’ve just found someting:
Sonarr Post: Saving Anime Name with just Absolute Episode

The problem is not the same, but maybe i’ve found an answer with “markus101” answer.

Yes, same issue, slightly different circumstance.

Well, that’s odd… I’ve found something that i cant understand… After addind “Nyaa” in indexers, i’ve got some differents results:

So with Nyaa results, it’s parsing with , but with T411 results it’s still parsing with +… I’m confused…
Is it related to the anime category parameter? or is this because T411 is a torznab indexer?

I’ll try to play with the category parameter tonight.

After few research with api commands, i’ve found this:
My Nyaa torrents got “isAbsoluteNumbering” value to true
While my Torznab torrents “isAbsoluteNumbering” value to false

I can’t find anything on the api wiki: https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wiki/Release

I’ll try to find how this is defined, but i think it has something to do with the torznab indexer.

It’s not the indexer, its how the release is named as they are completely different releases:

Naruto Shippuden 467 VOSTFR 720p HDTV x264-Resistance does not follow typical anime naming formats, where the sub group is at the beginning of the name (or sometimes the end) in square brackets and doesn’t have a hash at the end in square brackets.

[HorribleSubs] Naruto Shippuuden - 467 [480p].mkv works because the sub group is at the beginning in square brackets

At this time Sonarr has no way to differentiate between the 467 in the first release name being absolute episode number 467 or Season 4 Episode 67 as that format is used by some release groups in file names.
