I attest that there is not an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing open and closed issues

I attest this is not related to a Cardigann YML Indexer.

  • I confirm this is not related to a Cardigann YML Indexer

Current Behavior

Torrentday indexer searches releases using only IMDb IDs along with season/episode numbers. According to a tracker SysOP's forum post, they migrated to TMDB tagging of releases after IMDb servers blocked them from scraping data, this leads to not return most episodes when Sonarr queries that indexer.

Expected Behavior

Indexer should search episodes using the working IDs or with multiple methods like other indexers (eg. different databases IDs or just the show name).
