Daily processing of portion of backlog

Feature Requests
1

Currently, when a show is added, the existing episodes are generally ignored unless a new release comes out for them after the date it is added to Sonarr (or unless it is added + searched when adding).

This leads to a situation where a large backlog sits and grows.

There is a button to search for all missing, but in a case like mine where I have about 3k backlogged episodes, that would start off weeks of queues and burn through my allotment on indexers, my ISP, etc.

It would be neat to have some background job that had a configurable number of episodes to look for, and daily (3am or whatever) it would search for episodes until it hit that daily number (say 5). This way the backlog would be eaten in to without hitting it all at once, or doing it manually.

Obviously not a very important feature, but would be a neat nice-to-have.

Thank you!

Out-of-the box thinking, If you know a little programming, you could use the api to have each series search for missing episodes.

If you know a little more, you could make a missing episode dump through the api, and then have have the api search per available episode.
