Sonarr Auto Search - Blocklisting
Hi folks,
I've just rebuilt my arr libraries but I've ran into an issue with the search function. I think this is limited to the auto search. It seems to aggressively Blocklist a lot of results and I'm not sure how to fix it. It will end up either with missing episodes or a lower quality one than what is available. For example, there may be 9 of the following available from 3 different indexers, all with different ages:
52 days TVshow.1080p.TrueHD.5.1.AVC.REMUX-FraMeSToR
148 days TVshow.1080p.TrueHD.5.1.AVC.REMUX-FraMeSToR
656 days TVshow.1080p.TrueHD.5.1.AVC.REMUX-FraMeSToR
Sonarr will blocklist all of them and either fail to find an alternative or just grab a lower quality version. The auto search can also be incredibly slow, even when it is importing content (the download icon turns purple). The strange thing is, if I manually grab the blocklisted release, it nearly always works fine and inputs within a few seconds. Do I need to set a delay of sorts for the auto search to function better or how can I improve it? I don't think it is related to the release name as one would suspect (block one, block them all) but I cannot be sure. It also seems after a while that Sonarr fails to communicate with download client and I have to restart Sonarr for it to work again but this is much less common than the search blocklist issue.
I use exclusively NZB Indexers and they are all unlimited APIs. The indexers connect to Prowlarr. I also use symlinks and NzbDAV. Apologies if I've missed a load of info but please let me know if there's anything more I should add. I really appreciate any help. Thank you!
