Wrong series titles used with no results from indexer (Grey's Anatomy and Chicago P.D.)

Yea, 1337x supports raw search - Jackett/src/Jackett.Common/Definitions/1337x.yml at 4f14e4766f61a7ab9e26c69793bd4a76b905e3e8 · Jackett/Jackett · GitHub

Saw the same issue before:

I’m not sure either person followed that up, but you’d need to ask about it on Discord, as I’m not sure if this is intentional or a bug. Either way, let me know.

Thank you for your response, but I’m not sure if this is Jackett’s issue, I still think it’s Sonarr’s.

This is what I did today. After you pointed out the definition file, I disabled the updating of Jackett and changed the allowrawsearch to false. Restarted both services, deleted current Torznab indexer and re-created it. After that I checked Sonarr and Jackett logs.

Sonarr:

  • Chicago P D
  • Chicago Police Department

Jackett:

As you can see, Jackett searches for what’s provided, in this case both wrong serie name. So the issue must be with Sonarr. I’m also a bit puzzled why Sonarr only searches in alternative serie name and not in the original name.

Any ideas you can share?

Sorry, when I said ask about it on Discord, I meant the Sonarr Discord, as mentioned in Sonarr searching for different keywords across indexers. I’m saying the issue lies with Sonarr.

Thank you for your response. I don’t use Discord, so will ask elsewhere. Somehow expected that since this is an official forum, that developers might monitor it, so that I won’t need to create an issue on GitHub.

They do, but Discord is a lot faster. If you’re happy to wait, I’m sure @markus101 will reply when they’re free.

I don’t mind the speed, just that it will be resolved. I do understand that people have their own personal lives and other tasks that are more important, so I do not expect everybody to drop everything to respond to my inquiry.

Starts to feel like a shill for another account with a weird name. Same hostility, same expressions…

Indeed it does, fixed the glitch…

You don’t edit the DB you need to request a mapping on the form you’re referencing and provide additional details, a lot has changed in the nearly 4 years since those requests, but I’ve added them both now.

Same issue with Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head and 90 Day Fiancé (or was at one point, I haven’t rechecked since then, and am not really free now).

Should raw search be reworked in general, so as to search for both the raw and sanitised titles? I’m sure there will be many other examples where a tracker will support punctuation and diacritics, and some results may even be returned, but many others won’t.

We’ve disabled it for a few indexers in Jackett and Prowlarr, because it caused issues for some users, but I’m sure it being disabled then causes other problems which aren’t reported.

That was also my plan, to request a mapping but before I did that, I actually did search if mappings have already been added. Maybe I didn’t express well enough, but mappings were already there or a comment was added that the title “Grey’s Anatomy” is the same for Sonarr as “Greys Anatomy”, so I didn’t proceed by requesting those.
So if I understand you correctly, you have added mappings to the xem and it will be synced with my Sonarr? I checked and see that Chicago PD will be released tomorrow and Grey’s Anatomy in two days. After those are in the wild, I will report back if adding the mapping solved the issue.

And I thank you for removing that nagging user! Those can truly be found at every forum there are out there …

The best solution would be to allow manually adding or removing the alternative titles or even editing the original title, to tell the indexer what to search for exactly. Could be hidden under advanced settings, since not all users are computer versed and it will cause problems for some.
But did read in one of the GitHub tickets that this won’t be supported, was kind of hoping it would be. Then we could simply alter the title as we see fit and not add a numerous records into xem service.

The whole point of the xem replacements is that only one person has to request a change and then everyone benefits, no need for manual edits.

If you instead allow manual edits, many if not most of these would no longer be reported, and then everyone is just making manual edits.

I understand the idea behind it, but even you reported two series that are not picked up properly. So I would leave both: xem service and manual edit, for stubborn series. And then let the user decide on how to proceed. Since I do not see beneficial that right now my set up makes three queries (for Grey’s Anatomy) and is not returning any results, while manual edit would make one search. I assume that with added additional xem entry, now it will make four searches total.

Will report back in few days if updated xem service solved my issue or not.

People generally prefer the path of least resistance; if it’s less work and quicker to change it on their own system, they likely won’t search the wiki for a form and then wait a few days or longer.

I didn’t report the other series, I suggested those users should discuss the issue on Discord, and I’m not sure they did. I also don’t think the sanitised titles should be part of the xem alt list.

Take for example Grey’s Anatomy. Currently an indexer with raw search uses Grey's Anatomy and one without uses Greys Anatomy. However, if the sanitised title is added as an alt, then an indexer with raw search will use Grey's Anatomy and Greys Anatomy, whereas one without will use Greys Anatomy twice.

I do know that people will use the most easy path, so if you want to use the xem service, maybe add a support for it right into Sonarr? Since as you saw, when you mentioned Discord, even I was against it since I don’t have an account there and was not willing to create one just for this. After searching the xem service, the “Greys Anatomy” was claimed that it was already supported by Sonarr which I also assumed. That it cleans the title and sends it to the indexer.

But anyway. I can report that both series started to work! I appreciate the response and quick solution!

Not sure how it goes on this forum, but this topic can be closed.

There’s a link to the wiki in Sonarr, under the System > Status > More Info section. Linking to subsections of the wiki in Sonarr, when a popular issue arises, gets messy very quickly.

May have found an issue.

Just as examples I’m using 1337x, which supports raw search, and TorrentQQ, which does not.


Series & Sonarr search term:

Grey’s Anatomy (has sanitised xem alt title)

  • 1337x - Greys Anatomy
  • TorrentQQ - Greys Anatomy

Chicago P.D. (has sanitised xem alt title)

  • 1337x - Chicago PD and Chicago P D
  • TorrentQQ - Chicago PD and Chicago P D

Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head (has sanitised xem alt title)

  • 1337x - Mike Judges Beavis and Butt-Head
  • TorrentQQ - Mike Judges Beavis and Butt Head

Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist (no sanitised xem alt title)

  • 1337x - Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist
  • TorrentQQ - Zoeys Extraordinary Playlist

90 Day Fiancé (no sanitised xem alt title)

  • 1337x - 90 Day Fiancé
  • TorrentQQ - 90 Day Fiance

So as far as I can tell, when a sanitised xem alt title is provided, raw search no longer works, or rather works differently (note that for Mike Judge’s Beavis and Butt-Head the hyphen is still used but apostrophe is not in 1337x).

@markus101, is this a bug or by design? If by design, why?


Separate to this, and as mentioned earlier, should raw search be changed to look for both the raw and sanitised titles? We’ve come across the issue before were a tracker will have results for Grey's Anatomy, but more for Greys Anatomy, so despite raw search actually being supported, we have to disable it for the indexer.

I don’t think we’d ever want to filter what we search for, but I think I see why we are, seems like an edge case that wasn’t considered, so a bug.

I think searching for both should be fine, more requests, but at least we’ll get the best results.

Opened PR Fixed: Include full series title in episode search by markus101 · Pull Request #6844 · Sonarr/Sonarr · GitHub for both changes
