Hi There
I’m coming across one particular problem with a Weekly show (The Football League Show) whereby the torrents are named like “The Football League Show S06E32 2015.04.11”.
When my torrent client puts it in the Drone Factory, it doesn’t get picked up unless I manually remove S06E32 or set it to S2014E32.
When a show type is set to Daily, is it possible just ignore SxxExx and look at the date?
Thanks
Silent
If the SxxEyy was skipped it would break the parsing because that would be jammed into the title and Sonarr wouldn’t find a matching series.
To clarify, Sonarr is able to send it to your download client, but not import it?
Trace logs would be needed to see what its doing and the Sonarr version.
Thanks for the reply.
My client just grabs it from RSS as Sonarr doesn’t find a match.
For example on Kickass at the moment, todays is named “The Football League Show - S06E32 - 11th April 2015 - 468p x264”
When I look at my log, Sonarr is trying to match:
Searching 1 indexers for [The Football League Show : 2015-04-06
I don’t know how the date searching works, but obviously 2015-04-06 won’t match directly. I suppose it’s a bit of an annoying scenario where if you wanted to try many different date formats it could be 10 searches or so per episode.
When Sonarr parses the name and there is a series and a date, does it take both? What I meant was you would then have Series: “The Football League Show” Season: “06” Episode: “32” Date: “2015-04-11”. Could it not just use the date if it is set to Daily? Or if a date is present, does it not parse the date?
My only thought at the moment is to continue using a different RSS and do a Powershell script to match and strip “S…E…”
If you change the series type to Standard instead of Daily it should work fine and let you search properly. We have no plans to support “11th April 2015” style date formats.
Sonarr attempts to parse SxxEyy before the date, so thats what it will find. Its completely valid to use SxxEyy for naming a Daily series episode so we’re not going to toss it out, plus the parser has no knowledge about the series its parsing, because it can’t know that until after its figured out what series it is, which is a separate process.
Fair enough. However it won’t work as it searches for S2014E32 instead of S06E32 which is what I’ve seen on a few other threads as well.
I’ve done a Powershell script to strip the series which gets executed on completion (after copying/extracting to the drone factory). Below for anyone that comes across similar issues (e.g. same happens with Pawn Stars, on torrents as S12 but thetvdb is S2015).
Strip SxxEyy:
Get-ChildItem *The.Football.League.Show* | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.Name -replace ‘S…E…’,‘’ }
Replace Sxx with S2015:
Get-ChildItem *Pawn.Stars* | Rename-Item -NewName { $_.Name -replace ‘S…E’,‘S2015E’ }
The numbering can be fixed by using thexem.de in this case (the same thing that is done for Pawn Stars), it needs to be kept up to date there, but auto-grabbing with Sonarr would be successful then.
Great, thanks Markus. I’ll add it to there and see how it goes on Sunday morning.
