#### How does NzbDrone find new episodes? #### ### How does NzbDrone find new episodes? ###
NzbDrone doesn't actively search for any episodes on its own, it uses RSS feed to find recently posted episodes (sometimes older episodes are posted). Typically the indexer returns the last 100 releases, which isn't much, so be wary if you shut your system down for an extended period of time you might miss some newly release episodes.

1. The remote server requires authentication and NzbDrone runs under the SYSTEM account by default so it doesn't know what the credentials are for that share. 1. NzbDrone runs under the SYSTEM account by default which doesn't have access to protected remote file shares.
**Solutions:**

#### How does NzbDrone handle scene numbering issues (American Dad!, etc)? #### ### How does NzbDrone handle scene numbering issues (American Dad!, etc)? ###
NzbDrone relies on TheXEM (http://thexem.de/), a community driven site that lets users create mappings of shows that the scene (the people that post the files) and TheTVDB (which typically follows the network's numbering). There are a number of shows on there already, but its easy to add another and typically the changes are accepted within a couple days (if they're correct).

NzbDrone relies on being able to parse the series title of the post into something it knows about, during that process it removes special characters and spaces and converts the name to lower case, for example: *CSI: Crime Scene Investigation* would be *csicrimesceneinvestigation* often the scene posts episodes as just *CSI* so NzbDrone can't match the names without some help. NzbDrone maintains a list of problematic series which lets us solve the issue for everyone at once. To request a new mapping: NzbDrone relies on being able to match titles, often the scene posts episodes using different titles, eg *CSI: Crime Scene Investigation* as just *CSI* so NzbDrone can't match the names without some help.

NzbDrone use trakt.tv for series/episode information and for images (fanart, banners, images) and there are two reasons why you may not be able to add it: NzbDrone use [trakt.tv](http://trakt.tv/ "trakt.tv") for series/episode information and images (fanart, banners, images).

NzbDrone was unable to read your config file on start-up as it became corrupted somehow. Because this config file stores the port NzbDrone runs under as well as whether or not you require a username and password to access NzbDrone via the browser, we do not want to automatically delete and recreate the file. In order to get NzbDrone back online, you will need to delete Config.xml from C:\ProgramData\NzbDrone\ (Windows), once deleted start NzbDrone and it will start on the default port (8989), you should now re-configure any settings you configured on the General Settings page.
