Jackett integration - search not working

[brainstormi]

Hi... When launched a manual search from Medusa using Jackett as service provider (Torznab) no results are given although manual search in Jackett works properly. The same search executed from Sonarr works properly, the only difference in the http request launched is that Sonarr pass as query URL parameter: q=SerieName&season=1&ep=1 Meanswhile Medusa for the same query: q=SerieName+S01E01 Modifying the Medusa query for using the same query format than Sonarr works properly with Jackett. Also it works if Season and Episode reference is passed in the URL with '&' instead of '+' symbol. Example that works too: q=SerieName&S01E01 Regards,

[brainstormi]

The last format q='SerieName&S01E01' is not totally correct, because search outputs all the episidos for that serie instead only the one searched. It seems than the only correct format that Jackett accepts when using Torznab is writing explicitly season an episode numbers: q=SerieName&season=1&ep=1

[brainstormi]

I already tested creating a Newznab for Jackett with the same outcome. Integrating Jackett in Medusa as Torrent RSS feed doesn't work at all, so I suppose that search with Jackett is not possible for now.

Is this a format that can safely be applied to all torznab providers. Does this also works with prowlarr? Btw we recommend the usage of prowlarr above jackett.

[brainstormi]

Not sure how the rest of the ZNAB providers should work, but Sonarr does it in the same way than Jackett for these kind of providers. Unfortunately prowlarr is not an option due to the lack of indexers in my language.

[brainstormi]

I tried to setup prowlarr, creating a generic torznab provider pointing to jacket one. Unfortunately when doing a search from Medusa, prowler doesn't process the query received and it simply forwards it to Jackett, so no working neither.

The issue here is that medusa doesn't have a specific type provider for jackett or prowlarr. It uses the newznab and torznab specs. So any change I make here to Torznab, would then change the search queries towards jackett and prowlarr.

I'll inquire with sonarr and radarr guys, to see if this is the prefered search query format.

@brainstormi you said the only difference is this: q=SerieName&season=1&ep=1. But if i'm going through the docs this is part of the t=tvsearch api. Opposed to the t=search api, we use by default. https://newznab.readthedocs.io/en/latest/misc/api/#tv-search

[brainstormi]

@p0psicles When I said "the only difference", I mean comparing the query Sonarr launched against Jackett vs what Medusa does. As said not sure which is the correct one and if any of them adheres to API guidelines, but Sonarr "way" works for me. Maybe the issue it's not only API related and could be around the indexer implementation too, in this case Dontorrent indexer was used from Jackett side. But in my experience, that could be limited, Sonarr query format seems to be more compatible across diferent providers in Jackett.

@brainstormi : The search with Jacket is working here fine... What is the exact/full URL you are using for your Jackett as "provider" ?

BTW, I am not able to edit/change the URL and some other edit fields, so I needed to add and remove the whole provider, @p0psicles - can this be fixed [added to #10549]?

[p0psicles]

Newznab and torznab works with capabilities. So a torznab could show the capability of being able to handle the tvsearch API. And in that case we could use that in stead of the search API. I'll take a look at that.

[p0psicles]

@rafi-d yes you'll have to remove and add

[rafi-d]

@p0psicles why? The "key" field seems to be editable, so the rest should be too...

@brainstormi i've been looking into this. But i really need to know which provider your testing this with?

[brainstormi]

@brainstormi i've been looking into this. But i really need to know which provider your testing this with? I was using Dontorrent indexer, configured as torznab provider with the URL string given by Jackett.

I have the same problem with dontorrent and mejortorrent. If we would have spanish trackers in prowlarr maybe it will not be a problem to change but not our choice. Any solution to this?

[p0psicles]

Have you tried requesting it at prowlarr?

[Urkov]

Have you tried requesting it at prowlarr?

How can I do it? You mean connect jackett with prowlarr and viceversa?

[p0psicles]

No i mean. Have you asked the prowlarr devs to add the provider/indexer you need?

[Urkov]

No, but i will do it. Thanks
