Stop after cutoff is met and ignore preferred tags

Sonarr version (exact version): 3.0.3.928
Mono version (if Sonarr is not running on Windows): 5.20.1.34
OS: Ubuntu 20.04

Description of issue: I ve been looking for an answer to my question in a lot of topics on this forum, but found nothing, so I must create a topic.
I would to ask the opposite question of this guy. In the same “profile context”, I would like to be able to not grab a release with a preferred word if I already met my cut off by quality. For example, when my cut off is 1080p WEB-DL, I would like:

  • if 2 releases are found (a simple 1080p WEB-DL release and 1080p WEB-DL AMZN release) => it grabs the second one (Sonarr is doing that, so it’s OK for this case) and it never grab anything else.
  • if during the first search only 1 simple 1080p WEB-DL release is found => it’s grabbed, but I would like it to stop there, and do not grab anything else, even if 5 hours later there is a same quality release with a preferred word in it

Is it possible?
Thank you

What if you uncheck Upgrades Allowed in the quality profile?

#3

@fanboy I’ll try it. I think it might work and it will no longer grab same quality with preferred word. But I think the problem is that it also means that I will no longer take advantage of the basic “cut off” system (so it will never upgrade a release from 720p to 1080p).

Preferably, I would like to have both, upgrade of quality but without upgrade to same quality with a preferred word.

Correct. In the question you asked you were only mentioning 1080p releases so my answer was with that in mind. If you are using a Quality profile that incorporates more than 1 quality, then no, if it finds a lower quality release first it will not upgrade with that option unchecked.

As to whether both is possible; will have to wait for someone more knowledgeable to chime in.

@fanboy I tested it today, disabling “Upgrades Allowed” didn’t help. I had a second release, with same quality, grabbed again, just because it had a preferred word in it.

#6

Ah ok, so preferred word takes precedence. Might have to wait for Markus to comment then. Perhaps it’s not currently possible to restrict it in this manner.

#7

It’s not currently possible to stop upgrades based on preferred words.

#8

I’d also like this feature. Is there any way to work around it?
