Incorrect episode numbering

Is there a way to provide a remapping of episode numbers, a bit like scene names do for names.

For example, Ultimate Spider-Man (TVDB 257645) Sonarr is repeatedly downloading incorrect episodes and overwriting good ones with bad. There seems to be great confusion out there as to the numbering scheme to use, due to some special episodes.

It also seems that the search mechanism can identify a file as one episode, but when it is finished downloading and imported it gets imported as a different episode - which is strange :smile:

Here’s an example:

“Ultimate Spider-Man - 3x14 - Rampaging Rhino” is shown in Sonarr calendar for today.

The file automatically queued to Sabnzbd was then imported as what Sonarr identifies as “S03E11 - The Spider-Verse (3)”, deleting my previous copy of this episode.

However, the actual contents were what Sonarr identifies as “S03E13 SHIELD Academy”.

So, I lost episode 11 and did not gain episode 14.

I realise this is as much to do with inconsistent numbering between sites/uploaders, but the name of the episode was correct for its contents in the Nzb.

Is there a way to somehow flag a series that suffers from the problem, and potentially provide alternative numberings and pay more attention to the given name to try and get the right one?

Or have you got any great ideas on how to deal with this?

The last thing I want is silent deletion/replacement of good files with bad ones :smile:

Cheers

This series is mapped on thexem.de (used to fix numbering issues), it will take the episode numbers used in the release names and map them back to what matches on TheTVDB.

So, are you saying thexem.de is wrong?

Because clearly something doesn’t work right with this show :smile:

No, I’m not saying its wrong. It shows the mapping of Scene 14 to TVDB 11 for season 3, according to you thats wrong. I suspect its right and your existing episodes are wrong, but you’ll need to take this up with the mods on IRC: http://thexem.de/faq
