Help getting Whisparr to work with private tracker (lemmy.world)

Ahoy!

I'm a veteran pirate and pretty familiar with the standard *arr stack of resources, but recently decided to run Whisparr.

I also signed up for a new private tracker and got it setup through Jackett and confirmed working in jackett. The problem is, when I manually search for a release in Whisparr it comes back with no results, but searching the same release from jackett (or the tracker directly) I see the release is available.

I think I might know what's going on. I think the tracker has releases dated day/mo/yr and Whisparr is looking for mo/day/yr. This is totally a guess, but it's all I've found so far that might be causing the issue. Was wonder if anyone had a similar issue or a potential resolution.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: So, I think the issue is the date. Looking at the logs Whisparr searches for "release+yr.mo.d" and the tracker has releases listed with "release+d.mo.yr". I confirmed this by trying the search Whisparr was running manually through Jackett. I guess I'll have to see if I can add additional search terms or something or find a different tracker. I'll update with a solution if I find one

If it's indeed an issue then you may want to submit it in their Github so that it could be fixed in the future?

Interestingly someone did submit something similar a while back, but for some reason the submitter closed their own issue without any code being submitted to resolve it. Unclear what happened there or if it's related to your issue https://github.com/Whisparr/Whisparr/issues/58

I don't know if I'd consider this a issue with Whisparr or with the tracker. All the trackers I've used in the past use UTC standards on date format for releases. I think this new trackers standard is just different for some reason and that breaks Whisparr. Maybe I could put in a feature request to allow the date format to be changed in the query.

I don’t know if I’d consider this a issue with Whisparr or with the tracker.

Maybe a bit of both, you could reach out to both of them I guess. But overall I'd think the onus is on Whisparr devs to work towards being compatible with any indexer thrown their way. It is unlikely that any tracker admins will prioritize being compatible with Whisparr so tracker admins may not see it as an issue worth fixing on there end.

EDIT: Not sure if you can see this reply since Lemmy.world just started blocking piracy related communities (see https://lemmy.world/post/3175920), may be worth creating an account here or another Lemmy instance that isn't blocking [email protected]
