Thanks for the issue report! Before a real human comes by, please make sure your report has all the below criteria checked

• [ ] Include basic information: Branch/Commit, OS, What you did, What happened, What you expected
• [ ] Enable debug logging (be sure to disable after the bug is fixed)
• [ ] Post debug logs, either inline (for smaller logs) or using gist

Please make sure you also read how to create an issue and followed all of the steps.

The title should describe your issue. Having "SR not working" or "I get this bug" for 100 issues, isn't really helpful. We will close issues if there isn't enough information.

Sometimes the devs may seem like grunts and respond with short answers. This isn't (always) because the dev hates you, but because he's on mobile or busy fixing bugs. If something isn't clear, please let us know, and this bot may get updated to automatically answer you.

Thanks!

Its indeed a brand new function. Thanks to @Elettronik 's hard work. :)
There is a small descriptions in the PR.

[Rouzax]

Will it also use the releasegroup metadata?

[neoatomic]

Hopefully @Elettronik is able to provide you with that info, as i have to admit that i haven't used the function yet. :)

[Elettronik]

Hi all,
the metadata passed to subliminal are the following: (scraping from code)

episode, release_group, season, series, series_imdb_id, size, title, year, format, resolution

other metadata discovered by subliminal are processed in the usual way

[Rouzax]

Last question ;)
What would be the use case to enable this?

[Elettronik]

The use case is when you enable subtitle download, and SR download the wrong series subtitle, or when the format (dvdrip, webrip, webdl, etc) is wrong because subliminal can't detect it correct.
Usually the user know is the wrong subtitle, because he/she find out of sync with video.

[Rouzax]

So it gives better reliability than the default subtitle search?
In that case can we create a mass edit option to enable this, Right now I need to open each show and edit this.

[Elettronik]

The default subtitle search is ok, for most series. You should only enable this if the default metadata search method fail.
