Description of issue:
I can’t get the parser to accept this file. Does anyone have any suggestions. The folder and permissions are fine. The parser sees the right file. The file name “Die Sendung mit dem Elefanten - S01E02 - Hund.mp4” should be detected, right?
My standard episode format is as follows: “{Series Title} - S{season:00}E{episode:00} - {Episode Title} {Quality Full}”.
Is the parser also looking at tvdb date to parse the episode? Just in case; this would be the episode https://www.thetvdb.com/series/255779/episodes/4254135

I would appreciate any hint,
Daniel

It looks like Sonarr doesn’t know which series it’s for (the name itself looks parsable), but because it’s just a log snippet I can’t tell exactly what it’s trying to do. Next time please post the full log and link it here.

Only if it has a date in the file name and the series is set to daily.

Is this a series you’ve already added to Sonarr at this path? Or files you’re trying to import into the series?

I added the Series to Sonarr and later added the episode files to the folder. The logs are the result of hitting the “Update series info and scanning disk”-button for that series.

I had more files in there so the logs where convoluted but I rerun the disk scan with just one file.

I just saw in this run I tried a S01E002 bc the series has more than hundred episodes per season. But same issues as with a filename with S01E02.
