Hi!
I have trouble with Sonarr finding Countdown (1982). TVDB: 72480
My indexers can all find the episodes when serching for them, but Sonarr cant find them. I believe that this is because the episodes are name with {season:000} and not {season:00}. An example Countdown S093E90 instead of S93E90.
(And if I manually add them they aren’t recognized correctly.)

Is it possible to change this within Sonarr? Or is there any solution to tv show with this kind of problem?
Thanks,

Please provide the full release name, we can likely fix the parsing, but searching will depend on the indexers and how they are queried/how they handle them.

That would be super!
When I look at it seems like the extra 0 at the episode name also can create problems.

The full release names looks like this:
“Countdown S093E081 1080p ALL4 WEB-DL AAC2 0 H 264-JJUNAHJAMESON”

Are there always three digits for the episode number or is it sometimes just two digits? If there are some with just two digits an example of that would be useful as well.

There seems to be lots of seasons and episodes missing or perhaps i need better indexers:

But here are some other exampels that i found (sonarr can’t find these either).

  • Countdown S87E136 1080p WEB-DL x264-NGP
  • Countdown S092E001 1080p ALL4 WEB-DL AAC2 0 H 264-JJunahJameson
  • Countdown S092E053 1080p ALL4 WEB-DL AAC2 0 H 264-JJunahJameson
  • Countdown s90 e43 1080p HDTV AAC H264
  • Countdown s90 e32 1080p HDTV AAC H264-NoGroup

As you can see there are some differences. Many seasons seem to reach above 100 episodes.

I also found a couple that for some reason are namned after the year they were released. (I guess these never can be found correctly by Sonarr, and would have to be added manually.)

  • Countdown.S2024E140.1080p.ALL4.WEB-DL.AAC2.0.H.264-HiNGS
  • Countdown - 2006.12.21 SD X264-TRQ
  • Countdown - 2000.12.26 SD X264-TRQ

These formats are already supported, but Sonarr not being able to find them falls into how the search is being processed by the indexer.

This would need a mapping on XEM, but probably not something they’ll add for a few random episodes (if it’s not consistent).

Setting the series type to Daily might yield results for these.

Opened a PR with a fix for this, it’ll be in v5 when it’s released. New: Parse releases with 3 digit season number by markus101 · Pull Request #8657 · Sonarr/Sonarr · GitHub
