Behaviour of manual download and monitoring

[darktanker89]

Hi, here is my case.
What happen :
I let my server download shows during the day only in 1080p (profile bray1080, webdl1080,hdtv1080, cutoff webdl1080)
When I get home and I want to see a show, sometimes no 1080p has been release so I manual download the show in 720p).
Since the cutoff is unmet sonarr will download a 1080 the next day.
I don’t store my show, I just watch them and delete them.

What I am expecting to happen :
When I manual download a file I want it to be unmonitored after, ignoring cutoff.
The actual behavior target the person who want to keep file and store them. I think majority of people just download their daily show, watch and delete it after.

Maybe I am missing something.
I have been looking in the settings but I haven’t found an option to bypass quality check after a manual download.
I can’t lower the cutoff because you need to activate a quality to be able to select it as cutoff and I don’t want to activate 720p because I will end with nearly only 720p shows (since they are often released a bit early).

Best Regards

Turn on ignore deleted episodes to have Sonarr ignore it when the file is deleted (and the disk scan is performed, every 12 hours) or unmonitor the episode after you grab it manually. You could also setup a custom post processing script in Sonarr to ignore the episode after its imported, through the API.

post processing script in Sonarr

I tough about that but after taking a quick look, I haven’t see any flag allowing to differentiate an auto grab and a manual download. Will look if I can trick with show tag or something.
