I dont say what i think is 100% correct for all people. - Thats why we have options - and everone can take what he wants.
I just say that the majority of non english speaking people PROBABLY want their language before quality (the qualities are nowadays mostly ok anyway, if i think about the quality 10 years ago ).
IF any GERMAN release is avaible, grab it in the highest quality. (or highest cutoff, like before)
IF no german release is avaible, grab the highest english release. (or highest cutoff, like before)
I think thats the best way to do it.
What you descripe, is, if i understand it correct, what i suggest to add/change. Yes. Besides that i also would want that for new files. (like if u dont have already a german file)
Im very happy with sonarr - and radarr.
You know, the problem for e.g. german (and i think most foreign) is that there are 99% english releases out there and 1% in your language. We have alot smaller communitys and its (probably) more dangerous then for US (or other english speaking countries) to upload things.
If you really find a release in your language, its a great thing, but mostly some of the episodes are missing. For movies on the other side its okay, i can get everything in german, but for series, its another thing. My gf is ok for waiting if episodes are missing, she would never watch anything what is not in german. I would really like to watch the missing parts in english, that would be a great addition.
I really hope you understand how important that would be. I was really exited when i saw the language thing, i hope we can make it great again…
And like i said, if you think most people wouldnt want this (what i dont believe) - then make it atleast a option.
PS: what you could also do is a weight system, like you could add points in profiles
[german] [1000]
[english] [995]
[quality 1080] 50
[quality 720] 40
[quality 480] 30
Sonarr just count it and take the release accordingly to the highest points?! So people who want it in 1080 english before their mother language could even do that?!
English 1080 (995 + 50) 1045
German 720 (1000+ 40) 1040
Only 720p avaible:
English 720 (995 + 40) 1035
German 720 (1000+ 40) 1040
But if ppl think mother language is most important they just give english 100 points and german 1000. Easy. That way everyone could do it complete how they want it. But its more complex. Maybe a advanced option.
