I’m trying to complete my collection of a show and up until maybe a year ago the season and episode # in the torrent name has been completely wrong. No idea why. For example if I’m looking for season 18 episode 17 and I find a torrent for that episode chances are pretty good the episode I download isn’t actually for S18E17.

So if you make torrents and include the episode title in the torrent’s name, thank you.

    Unfortunately this show hasn’t had any DVD/Bluray releases as far as I know.

      Could also be a discrepancy between aired order and episode order. The TVDB are Nazis about this stuff and often cling to their own “method” despite it not aligning with anyone else including the show’s own production team.

        Another situation is multi-episode releases. I remember first encountering this with LOST where the 2h season finale would be listed as two separate episodes, which for a season finale wasn’t too annoying. More recently, later seasons of The Good Place would air two episodes at a time, and that always caused a mess as well that required manual intervention sometimes.

          Mine is NOVA where TVDB decides that some episodes are “specials” and puts them in the season 0 folder despite PBS, NOVA, and the uploader listing them as normal season episodes. Sonarr doesn’t know this so they get relabled as the wrong episode which I then have to go back and fix along with every later episode typically as I’m getting to watch that specific episode.
