How to resolve season mismatch between tvdb and imdb

Help & Support

Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.8.1507
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 6.12.0.182
OS: Linux Mint Una 20.3
Debug logs:
Description of issue: Sonarr is matching two seasons of a four season show

Additional Information: The show ‘The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’ has four seasons, as listed on imdb.com: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7569592/
All torrent indexers I have searched have the show organized into four season packs. Individual episodes are difficult/impossible to find
TVDB on the other hand shows it with only two seasons: https://thetvdb.com/series/chilling-adventures-of-sabrina

When I add the show to Sonarr by name search, it grabs the meta information from TVDB and expects/searches for only two seasons. If I try adding it instead using IMDB:tt7569592, it still loads metadata from TVDB. As such, I cannot get Sonarr to download all four season packs, so I will have to download them manually with my torrent client in the meantime, and import them manually into my Emby server.

Am I missing a way to force a show to use the IMDB metadata instead of TVDB?

Sonarr only uses thetvdb.com for metadata, if applicable thexem.info for scene mappings.

You can only use TVDB. That said this show is a odd one. Best you can do is manually rename the episodes. See the wiki.

Thanks fellas for this. I figured this might be the case but wanted to be sure. I manually added the seasons to deluge and manually moved them to my media library :slight_smile:
