How is Sonarr handling the Tick? Sickbeard see's it as 'The Tick 2016' from tvdb (although it has in fact only just aired) - but dumps the new episodes into the old 'The Tick' folders, with the old episode names. It's just a pain in the rear end to clean up.

It handles same name releases very well. It places higher priority on the year when those happen so you don't get mix ups like that.

Just go to Sonarr.

Also, it's marked at The Tick 2016 because that's when the pilot came out originally.

I can't speak for that show in particular but I've used Sonarr on plenty shows that are "<Show> <Year>" in TVDB and it works perfectly. I don't think I've ever had an episode show up in the wrong folder.

About my biggest issue with Sonarr is it not post-processing stuff from Deluge at random. Got the Hard Link instead of copy option turned on, file completes but Sonarr's insisting it's still at 99% despite being done for hours. :shrug:

You can manually set the folder for the episodes if Sonaar is dumping them into the wrong folder.

Couldn't be more timely as I was just thinking of dipping my toes back in Usenet after forever and a block account makes the most sense.

Time to read into how to make all of this work again. Back in my day, the ISP you had made you bleed for anything you wanted to download, hand stitching them together into bespoke bmps that had grey bars along the bottom 5% to 85% of the image.

Is there any reason to look for different indexers if I'm happy with my current one? I've been using nzbsu for the past few years, uptime etc all seems to be okay. I'm just wondering if different indexers offer anything different or if it's all much the same? Like can other indexers find files that others can't?

Thanks yeah, I signed up for a dog account after my first post and managed to find a bunch of episodes of a popular sitcom which I've not been able to find on nzbsu (or elsewhere) and had always thought it strange I couldn't find them.

I've always found nzb.su to be pretty good for that kind of content. Any time I forget to sub for awhile, I hear about it from the woman. She loves that stuff like Property Brothers and etc.

Edit: to the guy below, casual search has a few on the above. Remember to set quality to Any for these shows, they aren't always tagged properly and some are capped only in SD. Also don't forget torrents, Sonarr supports them.

Yeah I would say set quality to Any and make sure to use Sonarr. I am seeing a lot of these on NZBGeek especially. Then maybe Tabula Rasa, NZBNdx, ABNzb... Doesn't look like a lot of these are complete archives though.

And if nothing's popping up, check your Sonarr debug log file.

Worst case scenario, it's available on Sling. Cheapest w/o ads would be Hulu Plus for 12/mo

I am a giant assfuck who needs to harden the fuck up.

I assume you're talking about nzbgeek.info and nzb.su here (just making sure, I imagine the scammer copycat potential is high for this class of sites)?

They both appear to be open signup? Are there restrictions to the accounts there? And, I guess, are they decent indexers?

Are there any nZEDb installation guides that actually work? I've been trying to spin one up in an Ubuntu VM on and off for a couple of weeks, and no matter what OS version and guide I try to follow, I always end up running into a seemingly unsolvable problem. Googling for solutions generally leads me to other people asking the same questions with no working answers. I'm no Unix guru, but I've had Newznab up and running strong under both Ubuntu and Windows in the past, and I'd really like to try something similar again.

edit: Hell, never mind, I guess posting about it magically made it work. There's some fuckery about manually adding the time zone value into the database, and using nginx you have to edit some stuff in the php.ini files in both /etc/php/7.0/cli and /etc/php/7.0/fpm/, but it just pulled a couple of releases down on a quick test. Now I just have to re-learn everything about the configuration...

Ugh, looks like the house hunters shows (which are indexed on nzbgeek!) don't match up with thetvdb at all so of course Sonarr doesnt do poo poo with them.

That's another problem I run in to like every time with these shows that aren't exactly mainstream usenet material.

In that case try using NZBGeek's TVSeek feature. I haven't personally used it, but it would seem to supersede Sonarr/TVDB problems.

You could always submit a translation map of the episodes on tvdb/scene listings to TheXEM. Sonarr uses this automatically and should fix your woes, and it's a loooot easier than trying to convince the people at tvdb that they're wrong about yet another thing.

This is a bit of a gag, but it is an issue that the scene is (or appears to be) somewhat homogeneous. I'm sure there are some groups that just strip everything out there, but it's always going to be easier to find something from Adult Swim or VICE than something from OWN or BET or HGN (regardless of actual viewership), or even something similarly "niche" from a mainstream network.

Totally dumb to say "My :filez: aren't diverse enough!" but it's something I've noticed.

Can someone tell me why Sonarr wont manually import some video files?

firstly I have one ep that Sonarr still thinks is downloading. it definitely is not still downloading, and I am unable to manually import it until the purple progress bar goes away. it just says 'import completed' and then doesnt do anything else.

secondly. I have some other completed episodes that wont allow manual import because it does not see .mkv files? this is happening in Radarr too. can see the completed file, it did complete successfully, but a manual import says there is no video files found in the folder.
