"Release Rejected: Series Unknown" when missing year in release name

Server 1:
Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5344
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 6.8.0.105
OS: Debian testing

Server 2:
Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.5344 (in linuxserver/sonarr docker container)
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 5.20.1.34
OS: OpenMediaVault (Debian)
Debug logs: https://pastebin.com/U2wFkRSy
Description of issue:

I have two similar servers as per above. Server 1 is an installation I have had for a while and is an apt-get installation on Debian, and the other is a brand new installation via Docker on Openmediavault. The main difference I can see is that Server 1 has a new Mono version.

The following happens on all series (not just the grand tour, but for all series)

On server 1 I have added Amazon’s ‘The Grand Tour (2016)’ as one of my series. If I do a manual search on S04E02 I get about 40 releases and all are downloadable (i.e. they have the little download icon). This is the behaviour I would expect.

On server 2 if I have also added the same ‘The Grand Tour (2016)’ . If I do a manual search on S04E02 I get the same 40 releases but the majority of them are “Release Rejected: Unknown Series.” The two releases that are downloadable start with:
The.Grand.Tour.2016.S04E02...

The 38 that are not downloadable start with:
The.Grand.Tour.S04E02...

i.e. the difference is that the downloadable ones include the series year in the release name.

I see lots of requests to override this behaviour (which I see has implemented in v3), but what I don’t get is why Server 1 works perfectly and Server 2 does not. They are using the same indexer, I have checked that the config is identical. I understand that there are multiple shows called “The Grand Tour” so the scraper is getting confused on Server 2, but AFAIK I have never had to specify which show it refers to on Server 1.

Log files are attached but it doesn’t seem to show anything useful, just lots of:

20-12-28 13:28:23.3|Debug|ParsingService|No matching series The Grand Tour
20-12-28 13:28:23.3|Debug|DownloadDecisionMaker|Release rejected for the following reasons: [Permanent] Unknown Series

Any ideas?

OK, figured it out! I noticed that on Server 2 the series hadn’t been tagged/labelled with the series name. In System–>Tasks, I clicked on these three:
Refresh Series
Rss Sync
Update Scene Mapping

Once I returned to the series I saw that it had been tagged/labelled and then a manual search revealed the correct downloads. So it is all working as expected now!
