Season requests are marked as approved, and not sent to Sonarr | Seerr | Page 1

version: 3.0.1 (Docker Compose)

I am encountering an issue where new seasons requested are erroneously detected as already existing, and therefore aren't being sent to Sonarr.
I was not experiencing this issue before upgrading from Jellyseer v2.7.3 to Seer v3.0.0.

From what I can tell this issue was recently submitted, and fixed (included in 3.0.0):
https://github.com/seerr-team/seerr/issues/2413 fixed in https://github.com/seerr-team/seerr/pull/2412 but I am still having this issue when I didn't before upgrading.

The issue happens when a show already has 1 successfully downloaded season and another season of that show is requested. It does not happen when requesting a season of a completely new show.

As with the referenced issue I am seeing this in the logs when requesting a new season that does not already exist in Jellyfin:

2026-02-15T11:27:40.750Z [warn][Media Request]: Media became available before request was approved. Skipping approval notification{"mediaId":6,"requestId":23}
2026-02-15T11:27:40.750Z [warn][Media Request]: Media already exists, marking request as APPROVED{"mediaId":6,"requestId":23}

The fix wont work

#

Automatically

#

You need to go to settings > jobs&cache

#

And run jellyfin full scan and sonarr scan

#

To fix the current broken statuses

#

So they change to PARTIALLY_AVAILABLE available from available when not all the seasons are requested

#

Its in the pr description as well. It was a bug present in old code

#

That broke statuses

#

And you should be running 3.0.1

Ah. I assumed I had missed something simple like that.
Thank you for the fast response!

I have been playing around with a couple of different things, but I can't seem to get the fix to work.

I tried running scans, and that didn't fix it. All shows are still "Available" instead of "Partially Available", and season requests are ignored.
I then tried deleting all Seer data for a show, and re-adding it by with a full Jellyfin scan, and it got re-added as Available.
Then I tried deleting a show in Sonarr, removing it from Seer and redownloading a season. After downloading a season it still gets added as available with the request bug happening.

I am going to try to add a completely new show as well to see if the same thing happens.

hmm

#

I cant seem to reproduce this

#

can you send screenshots of an affected tv show

#

and what metadata provider you have setup in settings>metada

#

as well as jellyfin library settings

#

Also paste in your docker compose

The show I have been testing with: Homeland
The metdata provider settings: Untouched from setup
Library settings: Do you just want settings under the Jellyfin tab?

Can you run both jellyfin full scan and sonarr scan and send me the logs

#

Also after you send the logs. Run media availability sync scan job too

And send logs

You need to setup your log_level to debug

#

Otherwise not reallt helpful for us to debug 😅

Right. Of course

Is homeland still available and not partially available?

pulsar vale Feb 15, 2026, 1:03 PM

#

Yes

last granite Feb 15, 2026, 1:03 PM

#

If so can you send network response

#

So we can check the data and see whats happening

#

Open browser console

#

Then go to network tab

#

Refresh in homeland details page

#

And send us the response

pulsar vale Feb 15, 2026, 1:04 PM

#

BTW. In the Sonarr scan logs, could it be because of the [Sonarr Scan]: Sync not enabled. Skipping Sonarr server: Sonarr part? Or is that unrelated?

#

I'm guessing this is the request you wanted to see?

actually yes

#

you will need to turn it on

#

which fixes the broken statuses

#

can you enable scan

in sonarr

#

THEN run sonarr scan
