Issues with sample detection

Help & Support
#1

Sonarr version: 2.0.0.5134

Description of issue:

Media files are being detected as samples.

When I run mediainfo directly from the cli I can see that very little information about the files is being returned.

$ mediainfo --version
MediaInfo Command line,
MediaInfoLib - v17.12

$ mediainfo A.P.Bio.S01E01.Pilot.Catfish.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTb.mkv
General
Complete name                            : A.P.Bio.S01E01.Pilot.Catfish.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTb.mkv
File size                                : 1.08 GiB

Is there a way to disable sample detection? or at least tell it to use filesize or some other metric?

What is the file hash? (no guarantees you’ve got the exact same file, but check it)

$ sha1sum A.P.Bio.S01E01.Pilot.Catfish.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTb.mkv
6541bf3ec0bcdf79f7dd6f23e2f783eaa1f6f206  A.P.Bio.S01E01.Pilot.Catfish.1080p.AMZN.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.H.264-NTb.mkv

I got mediainfo on that with both 0.7.91 and 17.12. If you don’t it’s likely a bad file or bad mediainfo version/install.

As for your other question, no, there’s no way to disable that.

I think you may be right about this particular file. I wasn’t able to get it to play on any device.

I have however had another file fail to import and be marked as a sample which does give proper information from mediainfo.
