Nzbdrone replaced all my ~2.5GB 720p bluray episodes of a show with a recently released ~1.2G 720p BRRip. Obviously these rips are of lower quality and should be excluded from the 720p Bluray category. This is my first time seeing BRRip on a TV show, it’s mostly used for movies. Here’s an example:
They’re closest to bluray when they are at 720p resolution.
You can add a release restriction to reject all brrips if you want, its an advanced setting, I believe on the media management page. You can also set up drone’s recycling bin to prevent deleted files from being permanently deleted immediately.
The underlying issue is drone didn’t recognize your bluray files as such, likely because it fell back to the extension when it imported them as the quality was not in the filename.
I did find the option to blacklist BRRip after so posted so I guess I’m fine. The funny thing is that the files had 720p bluray in the file name as they were previously obtained via sickbeard.
No worries though i’m able to re-download the full bitrate files. I’m just happy I was able to solve my cifs on linux incomplete copy issues by switching back to NFS. In tandem I was working on getting a windows 2012 server VM up and even getting my old sickbeard VM back up, which I’m glad turn out to be busy work. Just have to dig deep into my sab history to re-DL any archive quality items that I downloaded after switching to drone.
Thanks for the quick reply and the outstanding work on this project.
Do you recall if drone detected them as BR 720p? If not and you have a previous filename we can take a look at why.
Drone should never replace a file with the same quality (it will re-import the same quality, but won’t actually grab it), unless is a proper and its something drone recently imported (and likely grabbed), so I suspect drone was unable to figure out the quality.
