So today new episode of Vikings is available. I have already 3 season of 720p web-dl. Each of episodes s01-s03 is around 1,4GB. Sonarr found two releases today:
Vikings S04E01 A Good Treason 720p WEB-DL DD5 1 H 264-Va.b.hdtv3 1.74 GB
Vikings S04E01 A Good Treason 720p HIST WEBRip AAC2 0 x264-BTWa.b.tv26 1.01 GB
And decided to grab the smaller one. How can I avoid it in future? I can’t really increase the min size of 720web-dl releases. It would be perfect if Sonarr could take previous downloads into consideration when having choice.
Any ideas?
I have a tag to blacklist the word WEBRip for certain series where you get both WEB-DL and WEBRip. I didn’t do a global blacklist because some series I rely on WEBRip and in some cases (primarily Amazon rips), the quality is better than iTunes WEB-DL.
As @silent said, block Webrip if you don’t want the smaller releases since its considered WEB DL, at least for the time being.
I don’t see us extending the decision logic to factor in file size from a previous season which would be unfeasible if they were different qualities or used different compression (x264 vs x265).
