Thanks very much everyone

From what I can gather from the pull request I mentioned from GuessIt, they say pretty much exactly what you are describing, i.e. 'Promote "episode_title" to "episode" when the title is in fact the episode number'. So if what you are suggesting in sabnzbd, matches pretty much wha...

I see someone already mentioned this problem 4 years ago, and they only catered for it (https://github.com/guessit-io/guessit/pull/778) in something called Kyoo last year. So it seems they do know about it, but the version used by sabnzbd does not. Perhaps that version would be more suitable for sab...

Ah, I did not realise there was such an option (there are a lot of them), and yes, and it does exactly what I have been suggesting regarding the handling of Smart Duplicates, so thank you. And apologies for ranting on about something that was already there!

Agreed, or like simply allowing the user to download the file anyway, instead of simply rejecting something and therefore not giving the user any choice but have to find some other way of downloading the file. Remember, we don't just download TV episodes or movies on usenet, we download anything now...

I presume that means fixing GuessIt since we cannot rename the thousands of existing anime filenames. There should still be an easy way to download files found to be "duplicate". Just like the function name says, it is guesswork, and when it guesses wrong, the user should be able to say do...

Sorry about that, I added the wrong nzb file, I think this is what you were looking for: 2025-09-11 21:07:37,357::DEBUG::[nzbstuff:1987] Duplicate checking NZB [SubsPlease] Kakkou no Iinazuke S2 - 10 (1080p) [6A7D01C9] (md5sum=14c03ea37a0f7f4919220088100ac64a) 2025-09-11 21:07:37,358::DEBUG::[nzbstu...

I have realised why only now has this come up. It is because I have increased the number of days History will keep, it was previously 3 days, now it is 14, and since the episodes are released weekly, that is why they are suddenly being seen as duplicates. I enabled debugging, but the logging doesn't...

This forum is for bugs, so the duplicate detection problem.

I tried 4.2.3 with the same problem, so this bug appears to have actually been there for quite some time.

Ah, seems that part is something I saw when doing general checks for how to handle duplicates when searching the internet, and obviously reddit is a common place for having questions asked and answered. In typical fashion, on trying to find them again on the internet, I don't get much! So the only p...

Since upgrading to 4.5.2 on Windows 10, the duplicate detection no longer works properly. It is indicating an anime episode is a duplicate, when it is not. E.g. After downloading "[SubsPlease] Kakkou no Iinazuke S2 - 10 (1080p) [6A7D01C9]", if I try download "[SubsPlease] Kakkou no Ii...
