Drone vs Oznzb and missing info

Hi there

I am having a weird issue, which i think is more widely spread (will try and find more similar samples)
I use only one provider, since i had strange issues with others (passworded releases and/or fakes etc etc). thus currently stuck on Oznzb. Problem is, over the past two weeks, i had to frustratingly see that some shows is just never found - in most cases the SD episode is just never there.
switching quality to 720p all of a sudden produces results, but , i cant afford the 3 to 4 times increase in data.

I found and investigated now one sample. and it seems the cuplrit is the release id on OzNzb.
I have included my log file ( on trace), and a capture for a manual search on the website.

http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=16491

it seems like the SD release
( https://www.oznzb.com/details/c38c32aa38a4e5b182bea91bf5b6856c/Call%20The%20Midwife.3x02.HDTV%20x264-FoV )
only has a tvrage link, but nothing for thetvdb, and thus when Drone calls the API, the results is not provided.

is there a way for drone to adapt, or will i get better results from the OznNZB team to fix the API ( i am just not sure how to phrase my question to them…)

thank you for your help

update
checking through the API results :
720p
http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=16492
versus
SD
http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=16493

, it seems like the following two important attributes is not set for the SD variant
newznab:attr name=“season” value="S03"
newznab:attr name=“episode” value=“E02”

guess this is not fixable, since season and episode numbers is quite important :slight_smile:

Drone uses the tvrage id when searching (you can see the tvrage id drone has on the series details page by hovering over the TVRage link under the overview).

If manual search results don’t show the SD release its possible it doesn’t have the correct TV rage id associated with it on the indexer. Drone will show all the results it find when searching in the manual search results list and why it was rejected (which would prevent auto search from grabbing it).

If you compare that release with the 720p one, you will also see that the 720p one contains the season/episode number, but the SDTV one doesn’t, maybe it didn’t parse properly on their end?

You should change your oznzb API key because its in the URL you posted contains it.

yes - have to agree - seems like the shortage of data on the provider side is the killer here.

will try adding others in order to see if an improvement is noted

tv rage id seems fine for both episodes (removing the episode and season constraint on the APi request ,suddenly returned the SD episode.)

will try and find a few more samples, and then try to see if the Oznzb guys have ideas

Checked another newznab indexer and it has the proper information, oznzb will have to address this.

Oznzb is aware of this issue with some SD shows and is activly working on it.

thank you for the update!
will keep an eye out ( i prefer to stick with one provider, as this speeds up searches/ RSS scanning etc etc
