I have looked on the forums about this, but found nothing recent or pertinent. I have set a file size limit of 1.5 GB and Sonarr is DLing files that are b/t 2 and 3GBs. Why is this?
This is the 2nd ep of the season and it is 1 hr long so it has nothing to do (i think) with “Season premieres and finales are both allowed at 2x the size as they are often the two episodes that are double episodes but only labeled as being one.” which was a response from markus101 on June 22 in another post.
Check out the show on thetvdb.com to find the runtime.
Then check out the quality settings in sonarr. Screenshot:
Explanation of screenshot, left to right, can also be found by hovering over the sizes:
minimum size for 30 minute episode: 210 MB
minimum size for 60 minute episode: 420 MB (double of 30 min)
maximum size for 30 minute episode: 2.81 GB
maximum size for 60 minute episode: 5.63 GB (double of 30 min)
Are you looking at the correct maximum size? I mean, is the show actually listed on thetvdb.com as 60 minutes, and are you looking at the rightmost maximum size?
And a free “by-the-way”: 45 minute shows will have their minimum/maximum calculated as something in between the 30 and 60 minute points.
Hope this helps
If this doesn’t work out for your scenario: which show/episode, and what are your quality settings?
I was adjusting the size limit meters correctly, as far as I know.
The show is 45 minutes and the episode in questions is S06E02
Below is how I set it up. To confirm, there is no way to set size limits per show, but rather only for all shows? Just wanted to make sure I was not missing something like maybe the show’s own size limit settings were high? So originally it was DLing 3+ gigs and then it DLed 2+ gigs.
