HOW TO: Change Episode Match

Help & Support
1

Sonarr version (exact version): Latest
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): Using Docker
OS: Docker
((Debug logs)):
(Make sure debug logging is enabled in settings and post the full log to hastebin/pastebin/dropbox/google drive or something similar, do not post them directly here)
Description of issue: I’m getting a bunch of episodes of various shows matched incorrectly and I need to fix them. For example:

“I Love Lucy\S00E01 - The Lost Pilot.avi” is being matched as S00E15 - Christmas Special and wants to rename it as such.

How can I tell Sonarr that it’s wrong and the episode is indeed what it’s named?

That’s not a version, we need the exact version number. 2.0.0.x.

Docker can have different mono versions…

Sonarr gets alternate episode number information using thexem.de (mention in the ((FAQ))), but this show is not included there. We’re going to need ((debug logs)) to troubleshoot further.

2.0.0.4928

You need debug logs to figure out why the software is improperly coding an episode? Don’t you have any ideas off the top of your head?

Yes, I’m not going to guess at what it might be based on the limited information available to me beyond it’s a poorly named file or release.

I found the answer to the second part of my question for anyone that wants to know.

  1. Move the file out of your managed folders (I use my download folder)
  2. Go to the Wanted tab at the top of Sonarr
  3. Click Manual Import
  4. Put the folder that has the file and click Manual Import
  5. From there, you can change the episode or season by pressing on those fields and even the quality if it detected any of those incorrectly.

It’s still a mystery why it thinks some episodes are other episodes even when named what it would’ve named the episode to begin with, but at least some human intervention solves it.
