Frequent wierdness when importing Nova episodes

Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.6.1265
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 6.8.0.105
OS: Ubuntu 20.02 (in an LXC container running under Proxmox 7.0)
Debug logs:
Description of issue: I am frequently seeing episodes of NOVA being imported with incorrect episode numbers - and sometimes season, too - not correctly reflecting the SnnEnn information provided in the filename.

Some examples:

None have extracted the episode number correctly, and in one case in this example, even the season number is off by one.

These are just the most recent examples; I’ve been forced to correct the episode numbering manually as I watch them, based on the ‘and now, on Nova’ narration at the beginning of each.

I don’t believe I’ve seen the issue with any other TV series (certainly not to the same extent). The only thing I can think of that is different about ‘NOVA’ is that it has the shortest series title of all those being managed by Sonarr. In general, this one has me scratching my head, frustrated.

Any help here would be appreciated.

This is expected and nothing is wrong

If BTN group is releasing following TVDB and not scene submit a scene mapping request (see the sonarr faq) and add in the additional info that they follow TVDB not XEM and an exception can get added

Thanks bakerboy448, learned something new today :slight_smile:

I checked the FAQ and submitted an appropriate Scene Mapping Request, as you suggested.
