I think I'm gonna cry

every time i think this problem is fixed it just improves somewhat. no problem
getting lost but my feeds or filter in utorrrent did not pick up jericho.

again, everything set up the same in the filter. i added the legacy feed and
was able to pick up shows i had been missing, but how on earth could i still be
missing some shows?

i appreciate all your help. every time i try something it is helpful, i just
can't quite seem to get all the way there.

this is one of those eternal problems with automation ... *most* things
just work[tm], but as soon as you think you have ironed out all the
wrinkles, up pops an exception. 😉

in this case it's a `one off` type issue, to do with the syntax of the episode
name, rather than a feed problem directly.

the renaming of the episode for the proper re-release seems to have confused
the utorrent showname parser. once it cut out the `proper` string it got left
with `jericho -lol`, instead of plain `jericho`.
this could be countered by adding wildcards to the end of the showname filter,
but that has a downside of it's own.

you have to decide, based on your personal priorities and cir cumstances,
which is the bigger negative for you :- having to occasionally manually grab a
torrent the automation missed, or having the potential for duplicate downloads.

as with most things in life, it's never going to be a perfect system.
you'll always find somwhere down the line that an exception occurs and
you have to fine tune things a little. naturally, as time goes on this
happens more and more infrequently.
for what it's worth - once i had smoothed out most of my show issues within
the first couple of weeks using rss i have had a very low failure rate.
something like one or two mis-identified episodes a month need to be grabbed
manually (and i have a *lot* of shows automated 🙂 )



(incidentally - looking at the last few days of feed history the `criminal
minds repack` had the same issue)

thanks for all your help. i'm fine with occasional glitches as long as i know
i'm not just too dense to set it up right.

technology is amazing these days, and a few problems are to be expected. thanks
again.
