Firstly, let me say I love NzbDrone and have about 30 shows being monitored by it, almost all of which work perfectly.
One which doesn’t is 7 Days, known as 7 Days (2009) on TVDB (ID 132591). It has an alias on TVDB of 7 Days (NZ) and in NzbDrone has a scene alias of 7 Days NZ which is correct.
So, here’s the problem:
When searching for last week’s episode (and this seems to apply for all episodes that I have tried), the search string used in the log is ‘7 Days NZ : S06E05’. When I manually search on oznzb and usenet-crawler with that string I get one or two correct results.
However, searching automatically or manually in NzbDrone fails to return the same results, and in the case of usenet-crawler it actually returns a bunch of old episodes instead.
The upshot of all this is that I have to manually search for and download the NZB for this show every week. Any ideas what can be done to get NzbDrone monitoring this accurately?
Trakt doesn’t have the tvrage ID for that series so its falling back to searching by the name (less reliable), I get results for that series via those search terms within drone, so it looks like your indexers are not returning results via the API as requested.
I think I’ve figured it out. According to my debug logs the API call includes a restraint on categories to 5030 and 5040 which I understand are SDTV and HDTV respectively. Unfortunately it looks like the 7 Days NZBs are being posted to the TV>Foreign category, 5020. If I remove the category restraint from the API call then I get the results I would expect.
It looks like a similar fate might befall searches for Anime (5070), Documentary (5080) and Sport (5060) shows as well, as these all have their own categories, at least on Oz and usenet-crawler.
I’ll let you decide what, if anything, can be done to help
