Episode numbers for downloads off by 1 or more = Episode 14 download should be Episode 15

Help & Support

So far I am only noticing this problem for my show Alaska: The Last Frontier, but I am sure it happens a lot to different shows.

My idea to fix this is to have Sonarr recognize the episode it grabbed for manual searches and then rename download to that episode it was downloaded for.

The problem is that when I download the episode that I know is correct it has the incorrect episode number in the name. When Sonarr processes the episode it uses the incorrect episode number and either replaces good existing episode or puts it with wrong episode number and shows incorrect episode as downloaded and of course the wrong episode will play on your media player i.e. Plex.

Example:
Available download = Alaska.The.Last.Frontier.S04E14.HDTV.x264-KILLERS
Actual episode it is for = Episode 15

Thats what thexem.de is for… https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wiki/FAQ#how-does-sonarr-handle-scene-numbering-issues-american-dad-etc

http://thexem.de/xem/show/1889 - looks like there is only an incomplete draft at the moment, that will need to be fixed before Sonarr can manage it properly.

I was the one that added the show as best I could without really fully understanding how to set up a show. The one thing I don’t know how to do yet is put in corrections to episode numbering issues.

Is there a tutorial online that walks you through step by step for things like how to add a show and make edits for scene numbering issues?

Thanks for all of your help.

Not aware of one, but the people in #xem on freenode (IRC) are able to help out.
