Description of issue:
For some reason, when I click on the automated search button next to season number, it will not perform the automated search. However, if I do it individually for each episode, there are no issues. The TV series are unmonitored.
Single episode searches ignore the monitored state (both series and episode level), season searches do not do that, both the series and episode(s) need to be monitored. We should disable the season search if the series is unmonitored to reflect that.
You can either monitor those series and use automatic search or leave it and use interactive search.
is there a functional reasoning behind that limitation?
just that i cant work out why a manual search would care about monitored status (as thats for automated searching)
plus you then have opposite functionality between season and episode searching. ie why allow it at the episode level but not the season level? especially with streaming series that come out on the same day so tend to have season packs and not individual files.
or you could allow manual searching regardless of monitor state?
I had a feeling this is the case, sorry for not testing it prior. So to fix this, I just enable the monitoring for the series, then perform an automated search and it should address the issue? I only keep the monitoring enabled for series who did not ended.
Yup, if you’ve unmonitored some episodes for any reason you’re indicating you don’t want them, the exact reason (was originally a thread here) was a parent unmonitored a particular episode of a show for their kid, they didn’t want it period, a season/series search would otherwise keep grabbing it.
Season level searches happen for season, series and missing searches with more than 1 episode missing in a season, lots of places something unexpected could be grabbed, whereas if you click search on a specific episode you must want it.
Not sure what this has to do with searching.
No, this behaviour is not going to change.
Correct.
