Sonarr automatic searching for anime

Help & Support
1

I have every Anime from the Spring 2015 season setup in Sonarr, but it has yet to match and download a single show. So far if I select an aired episode from the calendar and perform an automatic search then it down loads the show no issue, a manual search finds many matches, in most cases. The shows are “Monitored”, so why is Sonarr not automatically downloading the shows, unless I force a search? Second why is it even after downloading a show it still shows in red “missing”, yet under Activity it shows as having been downloaded?

In settings I have:
min age 90
retention 1200
rss sync 120

I do see a few (very-very few) messages for something like:
NzbSearchServiceSearching 5 indexers for [TITLE HERE : 01], but nothing was downloaded, if I manually force an “automatic” search on the same title it starts a download, a manual search finds 7 matches in this case more or less in others, so why did it not do download anything only 2 minutes earlier?

Thanks for the software, just trying to workout what I’m doing wrong,

Ok I figured out part of my issue is likely the 120 minute interval, I set this back to 20 minutes, in the hopes that will help with episodes on the RSS feeds, had it at 120 to be nice. It will take a while to see if this helps, but it should from my extended readings, but that still does not explain why manually grabbed shows are still listed as missing.

I’m on the March 17th build FYI,

The first thing to look at would be: https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/wiki/FAQ#how-does-sonarr-find-episodes

RSS must be enabled on your indexers AND your indexer must be returning results via RSS (too many indexers these days have been having issues, some for months and it causes Sonarr to miss episodes).

Activity: Queue or Activity: History? If they’re still in the queue then they haven’t been imported and are considered missing.
