What is this error and if it’s pertaining to a specific show how can I find out?
What is the best way to correct this?
Thank you for your help,
Bryan
It means multiple episodes for one series have the same air date and Sonarr is looking for an episode by that airdate and can’t because of the duplicates.
((Debug logs)) should show you which file/series is the culprit and the episode would be in one or more of the seasons (maybe even as a special).
I’m having this issue as well, and I know which episode it is, how can I work around this issue and make it ignore one of the episodes? If I stop monitoring one episode, I get the same error.
Jumping in, as I have the same issue. I saw that this was marked as resolved a few months ago in e5cb8bb but the same series has the same problem.
Series: Judge Judy
As an example:
16-12-28 01:25:04.3|Error|ImportDecisionMaker|Couldn't import file. /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Media/Judge Judy/Judge Judy - 2016-11-22 - Malicious Call to Child Protective Services!!; Horrible Tenant!!; Intersection Collision! SDTV.mkv
[v2.0.0.4440] System.InvalidOperationException: Multiple episodes with the same air date found
....
16-12-28 01:25:04.3|Error|ImportDecisionMaker|Couldn't import file. /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Media/Judge Judy/Judge Judy - 2016-11-22 - New Boat Owner Fail!; Sister Fighting DUI SDTV.mkv
[v2.0.0.4440] System.InvalidOperationException: Multiple episodes with the same air date found
TheTVDB page for this series/season has them listed as eps 81/82.
That fixed it if the release is named in a way that Sonarr can ignore the air date in the release name and use the season + episode numbers. How the releases are named is important here, we may be able to handle that in parsing, but if Sonarr needs to rely on the date to match it that won’t work.
I understand, fair enough. I noticed this issue when looking through Plex, it would show these episodes as 2 media files for one ‘episode’ with no way to split them. I moved everything out of the folder to re-import via Sonarr and that’s when I found I couldn’t do so.
So really the preferred solution would be to have the actual S##E## in the filename?
