Sonarr: UI Series Filter/Search Box autocomplete does not handle accents properly

Created on 10 May 2017 · 11Comments · Source: Sonarr/Sonarr

I've got a series called Bake Off Crème De La Crème in my series list, but the accents aren't being processed correctly. So for example, if I type "creme" in the 'Search for series in your library' box, I get no results ("bake" works fine). It's not really convenient to have to find the right unicode character to type in to search. Also, this is breaking the episode scan when looking for releases. Here's the output from the RSS feed scan - the release is rejected as being unknown.

Would it make sense to always try with the non-accented characters first (i.e., replacing 'è' with 'e' and so on) so that the GUI search works intuitively, and more releases are picked up?

Interestingly, when I added it manually to Download Station and the download completed, Sonarr automatically imported it from the Drone Factory folder without me needing to do anything. So clearly there's _some_ accented character translation going on somewhere!

You sure you did everything right? When I run this:

perl -MNCDR::API::Sonarr::Client -MData::Dumper -e 'print Dumper(NCDR::API::Sonarr::Client->new()->seriesLookup->get("bake off creme de la creme"));'

It returns the correct series:

        ];

The WTF8 characters are shown as code points as this is just a dump. But as you can see there are multiple titles in the returned information. Have a look at "cleanTitle".

So the API works quite well...

Episode Parsed. Bake Off Creme de la Creme - S02E05
Quality parsed: Unknown v1

It's not being rejected as unknown, it's saying the quality is unknown.
Also, that's about rss / search, not about the library query box. Those two are completely unrelated and the logic isn't connected at all.

Bug details:

Typing 'Creme' yields no results.

Taloth: I'm only going by the logs, and

17-5-5 07:06:50.1|Debug|DownloadDecisionMaker|Release rejected for the following reasons: [Permanent] Unknown Series

Seems to agree with what I'm saying - but perhaps that log message is ambiguous. Also, I have 'unknown' in my 'Any' profile, and this series is set up for 'Any' - and other series with unknown qualities are being pulled in from the same RSS feed quite happily.

I wasn't sure if the logic was connected or not - I haven't looked at the code yet.

Grimeton: I think you're doing an 'Add Series' search, and yes, in that case searching for 'creme' works (that's how I added the series). The problem here is matching the series from within an RSS search from my tracker, where the RSS search returns 'Crème'.

I've amended the issue title for clarity.

Hi,

ah I got that wrong. Sorry about that.

Grimeton on 11 May 2017

@Webreaper That logline is at the start of the log you posted and thus doesn't show which release it applies to. It doesn't mention the series. And thus is no evidence at all. That's the problem with truncated logs.

I also prefer that you post that particular problem on the forums. I'll keep this issue for the UI search box only.

Sorry, you're absolutely right. For some reason I was reading the log section from the bottom up, rather than top down (d'oh - the downside of developing on several platforms at once). It does indeed look like the problem is the 'Unknown v1' quality not being in my profile (although I do have 'unknown' in my profile, but I'll ask on the forums what is the difference between unknown and unknown v1. :)

Webreaper on 11 May 2017

The confusion is understandable, given that the timestamps are all the same.

PS: Unknown = Unknown v1 (v1 = normal release, v2 = Proper)
In all likeliness you have a different profile configured for that series. The episode is also not monitored according to that rejection.

Taloth on 11 May 2017

Yeah, I should have scrolled up to see the other timestamps.

Series/ep is monitored and profile definitely is 'Any' which has 'Unknown' so not sure what's going on. Will see if it works for next week's episode and if not ping the forum. Thanks for the help - and at least one part of the bug was valid. ;)

profile definitely is 'Any' which has 'Unknown'

Not by default. It isn't selected:

Taloth on 11 May 2017

Sure. I checked it for 'any' when I set up Sonarr a couple of weeks ago, and then applied 'any' to all the series I'd imported, because most of the releases on the private tracker I use don't include a quality.
