Release Rejected unknown series or episode | Interactive Search to just work on episodes that are not in the correct naming syntax

Feature Requests

I am not sure if this is a feature request or whether I am using Sonarr incorrectly. However there are times when I’ve added a series to monitor and its episodes cannot be downloaded due to the release being rejected. I understand the “why” behind this, but what I don’t understand is when I click on “Interactive Search” and it finds the episode correctly, why can’t Sonarr use the metadata of where the search has been triggered and automatically rename it accordingly rather than having to do a manual import or the likes? For example, if I select the Series “Panorama”, “Season 1”, “Episode 1” and I have clicked on the interactive search from Episode 1, can’t Sonarr take this metadata and download it successfully without complaining? This would be way more intuitive and reduce the overhead, as I find it easier to skip sonarr and download it manually from the nzb download client → library.

Again, maybe the above is already there but I’m lacking the intel on how to achieve it :).

Thanks community!

Definitely not. Indexers return the wrong things a lot, if we just trusted everything returned in a search was valid for what was searched you’d end up with files getting replaced by completely wrong things.

If releases are named in a way Sonarr can’t understand them then Sonarr can’t process them.
