When Sonarr throws the error ’ * Found matching series via grab history, but release was matched to series by ID. Automatic import is not possible. See the FAQ for details.’ I understand the reasoning, but is it possible to just have a button to ‘Force Import Selected’ please?
99% of those I am getting the error for are just poorly named releases, not malicious, especially older releases. Manual import is a total pain, please just provide a button (even have a confimation dialogue with a link to the faq if you want) that lets us just process them anyway. Nobody has time for alias requests.
The point of aliases, if they’re not total shit / get accepted, is that it’ll be fixed for all future releases using that series alias, for everyone using sonarr…
I understand, but in practice how many people actually go through the alias process rather than blacklist & search? I’d bet in the low single digit percentage tbh. Build something for the lowest common denominator whilst also allowing those who wish to go through the alias request process. win/win
Yep, I’m referring to a bulk button, rather than spend time manually doing each one ie: select a hundred via the check boxes and ‘force import’ - when you set it and check back after a day and find 300 orange flagged files it’s beyond tedious to manually import every one
Hello guys. I finally got to develop my own code (which runs a batch process) to fix this issue. If anybody is curious about it, you can take a look at the solution here
