Not having a great series background, I turn to the wider world... :)
I need to find two sums:
$$sum_{m=1}^{infty}frac{sin^2(mpi)}{(m^2-a^2)^2}$$
and
$$sum_{m=1}^{infty}frac{m^2}{(m^2-a^2)^2}$$
I've seen some related series on here, but not close enough that I can figure out how to get these sums from the ones posted. Any help would be much appreciated.

What is $a$? If it is an integer then both series are undefined...

a is not an integer. For my case $a=n[1+frac{1}{4}cos(n)]$ where n is an integer

In more detail the first sum should be $sum_{m=1}^{infty}frac{sin^2(frac{mpi}{gamma_n}){(m^2-gamma_n^2n^2)^2}$ where $gamma_n=[1+frac{1}{4}cos(n)]$ and $n$ is a positive natural number

The first one is $0$ because $sin mpi = 0$ for any $min Bbb Z$.
For the second one, we split it into two sums,
begin{align*}
S=sum_{m=1}^inftyfrac{m^2}{(m^2-a^2)^2}&=sum_{m=1}^inftyfrac{m^2-a^2+a^2}{(m^2-a^2)^2}\
&=underbrace{sum_{m=1}^inftyfrac{1}{m^2-a^2}}_{S_1}+a^2underbrace{sum_{m=1}^inftyfrac{1}{(m^2-a^2)^2}}_{S_2}.
end{align*}
From this answer, we know
$$S_1=frac1{2a^2}-frac{picot,pi a}{2a}.tag{*}$$
Differentiate $(*)$ with respect to $a$ (we can do that because $S_1$ uniformly converges),
begin{align*}S_1'=frac d{da}sum_{m=1}^inftyfrac{1}{m^2-a^2}&=2asum_{m=1}^inftyfrac{1}{(m^2-a^2)^2}=2aS_2\
implies S_2&=frac{1}{2a}S_1'.
end{align*}
$$therefore S=S_1+frac{a}{2}S_1'=frac{pi^2}{4}csc^2pi a-frac{picot pi a}{4a}.$$
Thanks @Tianlalu ! For the first one, I had overly pared down the real problem, should read: $sum_{m=1}{infty} frac{sin^2(frac{mpi}{gamma_n)}{(m^2-gamma_n^2n^2)}$ where $gamma_n=1+frac{1}{4}cos(n)$ with $n$ a positive natural

@MichaelCloud: I don't think there is a nice closed form for that. Even if we take some simple constants such as $gamma_n=1/2$ and $n=1$, we will get a complicated answer $$sum_{m=1}^inftyfrac{sin(frac{mpi}{2})}{(m^2-1/4)^2}=G+frac 18zeta(2,frac{5}{4})-2-pi+frac{5}{8}pi^2,$$where $G$ is Catalan's constant and $zeta(s,a)$ is the generalized zeta function.

What is $a$? If it is an integer then both series are undefined...

In more detail the first sum should be $sum_{m=1}^{infty}frac{sin^2(frac{mpi}{gamma_n}){(m^2-gamma_n^2n^2)^2}$ where $gamma_n=[1+frac{1}{4}cos(n)]$ and $n$ is a positive natural number
