**Description**
As explained on #322, MediaManager currently only matches torrents that
represent full seasons or season packs.
As a result, valid episode-based releases — commonly returned by
indexers such as EZTV — are filtered out during scoring and never
considered for download.
Initial changes to the season parsing logic allow these torrents to be
discovered.
However, additional changes are required beyond season parsing to
properly support single-episode imports.
This PR is intended as a work-in-progress / RFC to discuss the required
changes and align on the correct approach before completing the
implementation.
**Things planned to do**
[X] Update Web UI to better display episode-level details
[ ] Update TV show import logic to handle single episode files, instead
of assuming full season files (to avoid integrity errors when episodes
are missing)
[ ] Create episode file tables to store episode-level data, similar to
season files
[ ] Implement fetching and downloading logic for single-episode torrents
**Notes / current limitations**
At the moment, the database and import logic assume one file per season
per quality, which works for season packs but not for episode-based
releases.
These changes are intentionally not completed yet and are part of the
discussion this PR aims to start.
**Request for feedback**
This represents a significant change in how TV content is handled in
MediaManager.
Before proceeding further, feedback from @maxdorninger on the overall
direction and next steps would be greatly appreciated.
Once aligned, the remaining tasks can be implemented incrementally.
