Separate quality & delay profiles for new/old episodes

[Renegade]

Hello world.

I’d like to request exactly what my post title says. I have a number of shows that I want to watch immediately, and so the quality profile allows any HDTV or WEBDL (720p and up). The problem is, I also want to upgrade them to BluRay1080p when it is released. If I set the cutoff to the bluray release, sonarr will typically download an HDTV 720p release, then upgrade to 1080p, then the WEBDL 720p, then the 1080p version of that, all within a couple days. Obviously this is a huge waste of bandwidth. I could set a delay, but then I wouldn’t get to watch an episode the night it airs.

Currently I have the quality profile set to cutoff at the lowest quality, and then I have to manually go in and look for bluray releases, which kind of defeats the purpose of having an automatic downloader.

If this feature were implemented, it would be awesome. Alternatively, if we could specify multiple “blocks” in a quality profile, that would work too.

Thanks for all the hard work. I can’t imagine going back to the days of manually downloading TV.

Sonarr considers an episode new if it aired within the last week, if they’re all downloading within a few days of airing then you no delay profile would apply to all of them.

I don’t see this being something we’d implement, it’d probably be unused by a majority of the users, used properly by some and then used improperly by others who would get frustrated and end up asking for help.

This is something we’ve talked about but not something we’ve committed to doing. It would probably be a requirement if we wanted to split WEB-DL and WEBRip (so they could be treated equally by default)
