Issue where tv show is missing episodes (tvdb data) on freenas but works on windows

I’m trying to add the anime “Initial D” to Sonarr however whenever I add it as a new show it only shows that there are episodes 5 to 26 rather than 1 to 26. I’ve tried deleting the show and adding it again, restarting my NAS and they all still have the same issue. The strange thing is that it works perfectly when I try it on my Windows PC which makes me think that it is an issue with the freenas plugin. I’ve also tried installing previous versions of Sonarr but they come up with the same issue

The data comes from the same place and if Sonarr is the same version on both systems then Sonarr itself is the same.

The issue is with the specials (Season 0), the first four specials have been given the absolute episode numbers of 1-4 which eliminates conflicts with the first four episodes of season 1. In the next release of Sonarr the specials will be given less preference in a conflict so season 1 will be intact, but the specials will not be visible.

Two reasons why you would see this difference:

1. develop version running on Windows (where this is accounted for)
2. Series type is set to Standard where absolute number comparisons are ignored

So it turns out TVDB considers Initial D as a standard show rather than anime which fixed the issues. I must have just added it on Windows under default settings. Thanks so much

The issue is someone altered it on TheTVDB in a way that won’t work when the series is set to Anime in Sonarr, while setting it to standard will let all the episodes appear, Sonarr won’t be able to grab any episodes for it. To properly resolve this, it needs to be fixed on TheTVDB, since the series is locked it will need a mod to fix it (which would need to happen through a forum post on their forums).
