Never Results in Sonarr For Monitored or Manual Searches Yet Indexers Have Multiple Results Per Episode

Help & Support

Good Afternoon Guys -

I’ve been.using Sonarr for a while now and love it! I do have question for how to fix an issue I’m running into, though.

One thing I like to watch is documentaries therefore successfully added “Discovery Channel Documentaries”, “National Geographic Documentaries”, and others to Sonarr successfully. I’ve never had a Discovery Channel show download and thought it was because they simply weren’t ever posted / uploaded.

This morning, I took a look and found that there are actually multiple downloads per episode available not only on torrent sites, but usenet indexers. I know it’s the correct show as the title of the most recent Discovery Channel Documentary matched the result on OZNZB - which had 4-5 results for the episode. Manually searching for the show as a while or per episode in Sonarr doesn’t yield a single result, though. All other shows seem to work as they should.

Why is Sonarr cannot find any results? Would it have anything to do with them being in “TV - Documentaries” category on OZNZB perhaps? I’ve read how to fix shows where the episodes numbering wasn’t matched up correctly before, but not for issues like this.

Is there anything I can do to make Sonarr monitoring and/or manual search work for this and other shows? Below are a few environmental specs:

  • Sonarr (Develop) - 2.0.0.2037
    • Indexers (Prefer Usenet but have torrents added, too
      • OZNZB
      • Usenet-Crawler (via their IP currently)
      • Kickass Torrents
  • Downloaders
    • SABnzbd for NZB
    • Deluge (installed remotely on an Ubunut Linode) for torrent - Use SyncBackPro to monitor & move downloads to watched folder after Deluge finishes
  • Windows 8.1 Pro x64 (Fully Patched)

Any suggestions would be appreciated - Thanks!

Do you have RSS Sync Enabled? And also set a decent enough RSS Interval in the settings.

I think this is the category indeed.
Go into your Sonarr settings, enable advanced settings (top right, next to the Save button), go into the Oznzb indexer definition, add the category 5080 ( = documentaries).

Thirrian,

Where did you find this category number? I’ve seen these in the settings, but couldn’t figure out how they correlate to my indexers…

Thanks.

If you browse TV > Documentaries on oznzb, you can find it in the url: https://www.oznzb.com/browse?t=5080

Thanks Thirrian. I noticed this, but thought maybe there was a universal list somewhere…

I’d like to +1 bzowk’s original question, I hadn’t even realized my indexer’s kept track of these. I’m guessing that without a season or episode # Sonarr probably won’t be able to handle these; but still interesting none the less.
