Series Type: Daily searches with a "/" in date and not " ". This means nzb indexer doesn't find specific one

When searching for (at least manually) an episode that is from a show that is set as a Series Type: Daily it will search with a / in the date (eg The Daily Show With Jon Stewart - 06/17/2015 - Bill Clinton). This however finds 1000+ episodes as the / breaks the search and thus it only search for “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart - 06”. This causes NZB indexer selection to not occur and fall back to torrent.

This has been replicated on the indexer site by searching for “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart - 06/17/2015 - Bill Clinton” and it only searches for “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart - 06”. When the “/” are replaced with " " (removed) the indexer finds the specific item.

Is there a way to remove the “/” from the manual (and maybe automatic) indexer.

Please haste bin debug logs of the search and let us know which indexer you are seeing this with. Newznab indexers are searched using the season and episode parameters, which is how they best support it.

Extract of the debug log the line |Warn|ParsingService|Found daily-style episode for non-daily series: [71256][The Daily Show with Jon Stewart] went for ages. This occured because I had just switched from Daily to Standard series type to check if that would work. I use OZNZB as my indexer and SABNZBD as my search client.

As discussed before it appears to be due in part that the search criteria of the daily episode includes forward slashes. I have taken some screenshots to demonstrate what i mean. http://imgur.com/a/fTkXi

Sorry about posting the wrong log. I though i had selected Trace and saved, but it may not have saved.

Reviewing the debug trace, it seems to be an issue with OZNZB, as i have looked into the api call and it is right, just that for some reason it doesn’t like do q= and season= in the same line.

I believe its because season= gets thrown out and not added to the SQL query, I believe there is a fix for that in later releases on the code they run for it, but I don’t know that first hand, a thread on their forums might get them to take a look and correct it.

Thanks for that. Will push them along. The daily episodes seem to be getting captured during the rss which is 95% of the my usage. any backlog i will get off the site directly til they fix it.

BTW keep up the good work. Much appreciated.
