I have two TV series that are not being automatically downloaded. I have to go those series and select “auto search” next to the missing episode. The missing episode is promptly downloaded. I was thinking that if I delete the series and re-add it that the process may fix it. Anyone else have a better solution?
Just to be sure - it is monitored, yes? The little ‘flag’ icon is filled in/dark?
No it’s not. But most of the series are not monitored either and they download just fine. Should they all be monitored?
If you want them to be picked up automatically the series and relevant episodes must be monitored.
Search ignores the monitored state of both the series and episode searched for.
can i ask what the shows are as i have some that don’t download but that is down to the fact that the namings between the scene and tvdb and trakt are all over the place so i simply download these manually and rename them accordingly

Gray’s Anatomy and Once Upon a Time are the two.

That’s odd. Most are not marked as monitored but download anyway.
More information. All of my series have the switch set to monitored. When you look at the listing of episodes, the flag to the left is white, not black.
the flag being white indicates that they are not monitored when they are black then they are monitored
Ok. So should I go to every series and make sure I select “Toggle season to monitored”? What will happen to episodes I’ve already downloaded?
well unless there is a proper or repack out for that episode in the last 24 hours they should remain untouched however just as a precaution only enable seasons that are the most recent i don’t think it will do anything but i remember a long time ago on Version 1 of NzbDrone i had an incident where i had like 30gb of episodes queued up in sabnzbd
I don’t expect this to happen as that issue was sorted long ago and on a different version NzbDrone has been re-written from scratch since then
All this aside if you don’t need any episodes from previous seasons you might as well leave them unmonitored so (A) they are left alone and (B) there is less items to scan through when performing RSS Sync so i would start off with the two seasons you are having issue with and go from there i can confirm though the two shows you mentioned i also get and NzbDrone does download them just fine
for a visual reference here is a couple screenshots of mine in NzbDrone noticed the white flags on older seasons and black flag on latest season only with this setting NzbDrone only checks for that seasons episodes and skips over the earlier seasons
also in case you didn’t know the green dot indicated that the whole season has been downloaded in full
