[Closed] BUG: Jackett search not working

[Roger D]

Using Quick Scan seems Jackett is no longer returning search results, I know for sure it had been working fine.

I have two shows missing episodes and during a quick scan they are not found, yet available via Jackett manual scan. Detailed logging doesn't show anything remarkable.

Maybe Jackett changed their code?

@Mark could you test and if working I'll try digging deeper, please.

See attached settings capture.

Will add a new option.

TVR used to ask Jackett for the show based on series Id, episode id and series Id. But seems to have stopped working. WIll add an option to look based on a text search "xyz S01E01"

Might the fact that you are using Jackett's All indexer (api/v2.0/indexers/all/results/torznab) have anything to do with it?

The Jackett docs say:

A special "all" indexer is available at /api/v2.0/indexers/all/results/torznab. It will query all configured indexers and return the combined results.

If your client supports multiple feeds it's recommended to add each indexer directly instead of using the all indexer. Using the all indexer has no advantages (besides reduced management overhead), only disadvantages:

you lose control over indexer specific settings (categories, search modes, etc.)

mixing search modes (IMDB, query, etc.) might cause low-quality results

indexer specific categories (>= 100000) can't be used.

slow indexers will slow down the overall result

total results are limited to 1000

I've setup all my indexers separately and I have not experienced any problems with Jackett, either with TV Rename or Qbittorrent.

@Mark, thank you for looking into it and the other thread resolutions. Looking forward to next release.

@Tom, appreciate the info/tips.
