Typical Issue: Scene numbering does not match TVDb numbering so Sonarr doesn't work. Well enter XEM which creates a map for Sonarr to look at.

  • Scene releases double episodes in a single file since that is how they air but TVDb marks each episode individually..
  • Scene uses a year for the season S2010 and TVDb uses S01..

XEM works in most cases and keeps it running smooth without you ever knowing. However as with most things, there will always be a black sheep and in this case there is a list of them.

This is a list of the known shows and how/why they're fu... Problematic!

  • American Dad
  • Arrested Development
  • Mythbusters
  • Paw Patrol
    • Double episode files vs single episode TVDb but also not all episodes are doubles so the map can get added wrong pointing to which ones are singles vs doubles
  • Pawn Stars
  • Pokemon
    • On thexem, Pokemon is tracking dubbed episodes. So if you want subbed episodes, you might be fucked.

Possible resolutions:

  1. TVDb adds alternate ordering to the API (Current status: They say v4 but dont count on it to work or be stable based on the history of v3)
  2. XEM adds a map to allow for alternate orders that sonarr can use (Current status: Unlikely)
  3. Sonarr allows for disabling of XEM maps when doing manual searches (Current status: Unlikely)

Sonarr side effects:

On top of the issues with the shows already, Sonarr also has some odd behavior so you may just need to overlook this as well. Example:

American Dad is currently on S17 based on TVDb or S16 based on Scene at the time of this writing. So searching in sonarr for season 17 will only return S16 results because of the XEM map. If you have a tracker with S17 episodes (because they use P2P and not Scene), you are SOL & sonarr will never see them or find them. Right click > Save as on the torrent and add it manually is your solution. However here is the odd part, if you use tags and you add it to your client with a tag that Sonarr looks for, it will see the episodes and when they download it will automatically import them to S17. So it wont find S17 because it is mapped to S16 but it will import S17 to S17 even though it is mapped to S16. Cant explain it & never got an answer for it so enjoy the inconsistent logic as it will save you having to import it.

This may or may not happen on other shows but i have only tested it on this one. Main point, if you have any issues related to these shows you are SOL and just have to deal with it.
