Radarr: Failed to find movie title in release name

[dposs]

Describe the bug
Radarr isn't able to identify movie title in a specific case.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Set up an Indexer that does not use quality, language, and year in the release name.
2. Add a movie.
3. Do a search.

Expected behavior

I did all the following configurations...

• Radarr set up to use "Lenient Mapping" as Parser Leniency.
• Indexer set up to Search by title.
• Indexer set up to Remove year from search string
• Quality profile set up to allow Unknown quality.
• Quality profile set up to allow Any language.

... so, a release with only the movie title should be found.

Screenshots

Trying to find "Hellboy" movie. The indexer returned some results, all of them with the title "Hellboy", but Radarr wasn't able to identify movie title.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows
• Chrome 75.0.3770.142 64 bits
• Version 0.2.0.1358

You're missing a year, it just isn't likely to work.

[dposs]

And how about this option?

Shouldn't radarr search work without year when I enabled it?

[Krandor1]

There are two movies called hellboy. Without a year how is Radarr to know which one it is?

[dposs]

Just mark both as accepted releases. Instead of "Release Rejected".

"Remove year from search string" option must be there for some reason.

[Krandor1]

It stills needs to tie the download to a movie. It can’t tie it to two. I have no idea how you expect this to work.

If there is only one version of a movie by that name then I’d expect remove year to work but not when there are two movies of the same name in different years. At this point without year you can’t tell them apart so I don’t know what movie this is would be the appropriate response because it doesn’t and can’t know.

Problem usually occurs because Radarr expecting {Movie Name} {Movie Year} format only, while trackers (and indexers with Jackett as well) list film as {Movie Name} ( {Producer Name} ) {Movie Year} so release will be rejected.

[dposs]

I understood that Radarr won't be able to identify what "Hellboy" movie is the correct in this case, because there is a 2004 release and a 2019 release, with the same movie name.

But, in the manual Search (see the screenshot below), Radarr is showing all Hellboy movies (2004 and 2019 releases). Which is fine, because I set up to ignore release Year. So it's showing to me all Hellboy movies regardless of year:

But.. Radarr don't let me download any of them.
As it is a manual search, I want to tell Radarr which of these versions I want to download.

[Krandor1]

Then you should open a request for that feature then.

But even if you could it still isn’t going to be able to import the movie either for the same reasons.

For me It still a bug, because I set up Radarr to ignore the year.
Radarr is telling me that I can't download "Hellboy" because it is different from "Hellboy".

But ok, maybe some day I'll open a feature request, as you said.

Anyway, thanks for you attention.
Regards.

[Krandor1]

Open it as a bug then but either way your original request in this one wasn’t clear that you wanted a manual download button on a search like this. It read like you expected Radarr to auto grab it which it can’t.

So if you want your “bug” fixed you need to be more specific on what you want.

This is already allowed in v2 Aphrodite, however to Krandors point you'll have to manually download and manually import because there is no possible way for Radarr to know if it's ignoring the year.

[dposs]

Qstick, I can't manually download it. This is the reason why I opened this issue. Radarr is blocking the manual download.

But I agree my issue was poorly described. Mainly the "Expected behavior" description.

[fryfrog]

Qstick is saying that it is (or will be) possible in v2, but that even there you'll need to manually download it and manually import it.

[sliddjur]

@Qstick I added movie https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/625957 to radarr v2 "aphrodite".

When I search for it, I successfully get some results, because I am searching without release year. So far so good. But radarr wont add the movie to deluge.

I manually press search result and I get this.

Radarr was unable to determine which movie this release was for. Radarr may be unable to automatically import this release. Do you want to grab 'UFC 242 Inside The Octagon Khabib vs Poirier 720p WEBRip h264-TJ [TJET]'?

Then I press grab. And the cloud icon changes to tooltip Value can not be null. (Parameter 'remoteMovie.Movie'). Is this supposed to work to add to deluge?

[Qstick]

Thanks, I'll look at this tonight. Manual grabs was one thing I hadn't looked at yet
