NZBDrone not recognizing episodes of The American after download

Help & Support
1

NZBDrone is able to find episodes of The American and then sends it to SABnzbd for download. After SABnzbd downloads and unpacks it, NZBdrone is not recognizing it as a valid episode, even though it is perfectly fine. I had to move it manually to the folder to get NZBdrone to recognize it. Here is the log:
[The.Americans.2013.S01E03.1080p.BluRay.x264-BiA] No files found eligible for import in c:\usenet dloads\TV\The.Americans.2013.S01E03.1080p.BluRay.x264-BiA

It’s happened on several episodes of The Americans. The other shows are processing and moving just fine. I’m not sure if it is just a scene naming issue, so I submitted it on the form linked in some prior posts.

No, a scene naming issue is when the release’s series name doesn’t match the name from trakt/tvdb, which in this case it does (the match ignores spaces and special characters).

This rejection means no files in that folder were considered for import, what is one of the files that was in there?

Debug logs should show why nothing was found.

Thanks for the quick reply.

This is the name of the file after it was downloaded and unpacked: the.americans.2013.s01e03.1080p.bluray.x264-bia.mkv

I unfortunately didn’t have full debug logging turned on. I’ve turned it on now so I will have additional detail if it happens again. SABnzbd gave a file rename error (file in use) on the same file so perhaps that is why.

Do you have samples being deleted? If not, that will cause that. I used to get that until I started using a script that deletes any media file smaller than 100mb (might increase to 200mb for BD)… Both nzbget and sabnzbd miss ignoring/deleting samples from my own personal experience… thus, the script.

drone will skip samples as well, but it uses the runtime of the file instead of size, if only samples are left after the import it will delete the folder.

Perhaps you are right. I have sabnzbd set to not download samples, but maybe it is just missing them and causing the problem. What script do you use?

I’m using the “nzbtomedia” set of scripts [https://github.com/clinton-hall/nzbToMedia/wiki]. I believe it’ll work with SAB but I’m currently using nzbget. SAB was giving me grief so I switched to GET, which gave me less grief. :smile:

I’m also thinking maybe the samples extracted after the main file did and possibly overwrote before Drone was even involved. Hard to tell really. I just know that’s happened to me in the past.
