Hi, I currently have some shows set to download HD quality, and in that quality I have selected only “HDTV-720p.” This works great to download HD episodes as they air. For these shows I usually delete the files after I watch them, so I have set nzbdrone to ignore deleted episodes.
Recently, I’ve noticed that some new NZBs have been added to SAB that are for the ENTIRE season of a show (for example, it just tried to download the entire season 1 of True Detective, even though I had not requested it to do so). Is there a way to tell nzbdrone not to download “entire season” NZBs?
Thanks!
No there isn’t. drone will continue to look for monitored episodes that are missing, if you don’t want an episode to ever be grabbed you will need to unmonitor it.

But I thought that was the purpose of the “ignore deleted episodes” function? Or am I misunderstanding that option?
I deleted True Detective episodes after I watched them (from the folder, not from within Nzbdrone), and then nzbdrone, months later, tried to download the whole season that someone posted…
Ignore deleted episodes requires drone to see them on disk, then see them removed (while the setting is enabled). It doesn’t make any changes to existing files when that setting it toggled.
