Choose specific indexer re downloaded vs streaming NZB

I know this has been requested before but then there was no real specific use case for it, apart from saving milliseconds. I believe that I have found a use case for it, although I am open to being corrected if there is a better way.

  • Give the insane costs of hard drives recently I was looking into using NZB streaming in Plex through eg Altmount.
  • I don’t wish to move everything over to streamed files but just part of my collection.
  • I believe that in order to choose whether to download the file locally or create a file for streaming I would need to choose between my usual indexer or eg Altmount setup as another indexer.
  • Currently I would either have to manually switch each time between indexers by going into settings (a bit of a pain) or run two separate instances (one pointed at my usual indexer and one at Altmount or similar)
  • If there was an option to be able to turn on selecting an indexer when adding a show, to allow me to choose whether to download the file or set it up as a streamed NZB file in Plex it would be great
  • If there was also an option to select the indexer in a current TV show (ie switch to a NZB streamed file) and force an update that would be fantastic too.

You can do it with Release Profiles, you specify the Indexer on the Release Profile and then link that Release Profile to series where you want it to apply with tags.

Thanks Markus for the swift response and solution. :slight_smile:
