Custom quality/HEVC

I have a series of which I have downloaded WEBDL-1080p. Most of them are AVC/AC-3 and around ~900MB each.

There’s now many episodes available in HEVC/x265 at around ~175MB.

I’d love to be able to either have a quality of “HEVC” or somehow figure out how to basically say “upgrade all these to HEVC”.

Background:

Profile of WEBDL-1080p, HDTV-1080p, Bluray-720p, webdl-720p, hdtv-720p. Cutoff of WEBDL-1080p.

When I manually search for an episode I see

Existing file meets cutoff: WEBDL-1080p
Quality for existing file on disk is of equal or higher preference: WEBDL-1080p v1

So it won’t automatically grab it. I’ve tried adding ‘x265’ in tags but that also does not address this. New episodes are rather quickly available in HDTV/WEBDL, it takes a couple weeks for the HEVC to be released. I actually prefer it this way. The HEVC is great on size for archiving but horrible CPU intensive for me.

Besides deleting these shows and re-searching for them (something I really don’t want to do), is there any way to basically say “find these episodes in x265 if available and download”? or possibly create our own “qualities” using size and tag restrictions?

Perferred words might be able to do this, but we haven’t completely decided if they will overwrite existing files or only used when comparing otherwise equal releases.
