"Episode does not exist in Trakt!", but it does

[IDeserveToBeWrited]

Script worked great for most of my episodes and I'd like to thank all the contributors very much.
But for the other I've run into a weird problem where the script tells me an episode does not exist in Trakt.tv and provides a valid link for that episode.
I've modified a logging setup to log all those warnings into a file and this is what I got, maybe you'll manage to find a connection, if there is one.
trakt.log

I have the same problem in here, any solution?

same here but I already marked them as watched so no big deal

Same issue for me, occurs really randomly and right in the middle of a season for some reason.

I think I figured out the issue. Those warnings come on all of the series that DO NOT MATCH properly. So for example, for Yellowstone, they matched to some random 3 episode show instead of the proper yellowstone series. So it can't mark any of the episodes as seen past S01E03, because nothing else exists in the improperly matched series.

So honestly, on import now (after 1000's of shows imported), I'm realizing that a good 20-30% were matched wrong without asking me. So I have a ton of tv shows marked as watched that shouldn't be. And a ton of missing shows that aren't marked watched. I guess this effort is in vein, I'm going to have to revert it all somehow or manually fix, not sure what I'll do.

Any ideas welcomed.

Is there a log file that shows all of the warnings in one place? Then I could at least see how many were effected. The CMD prompt log entries (I'm in windows) are not saved (they overwrite themselves over time).

Isn't it better yo use more info for the matching beside the title and year like runtime, season number, episode number, actors name, genre? The matching system should decide the show with most matched data and these extra matching only happens if the title, year couldn't hit a match

[shackrock]

Agreed, I think there's some easy improvements that could be done.

but in the meantime, need to figure out how to correct what's completed too in these cases - at least that's my problem for now! =)
