Skip not-yet-aired episodes when searching for monitored episodes

[evie-lau]

Whenever a season/series search is initiated for monitored episodes, sonarr goes off to search for every monitored episode, including ones that have not aired.

System Information/Logs

Sonarr Version: 2.0.0.5163

Operating System: Windows 8.1 64-bit

.NET Framework: 4.6

Feature Request

It would be nice if in addition to being a monitored episode, a check was added to see if that status is not TBA or not-aired, or if an air date exists before sending a request to search for it.

Optimizing the season/series search by reducing unnecessary requests

[ghost]

Sonarr doesn't search episode per episode when performing a season or series search.
Series search: season per season, as below.
Season search: one api call to each indexer to get all results for that season.

Just to clarify, it's one or more API calls per season, more being used is additional results need to be fetched because the indexer returned the maximum number of results (up to a maximum of 10 requests per indexer for a single season).

Oh, I didn't realize it was all handled under one api call per season. From the slow-rolling notifications and the log of the api calls, it seemed as if they were per episode.

In a test run season search, it took a little over a minute for 11-12 episodes, according to the logs.

Ahh, Anime, that'll use individual searches since there often aren't season packs, just batches which aren't always for the full season.
