When are [Proper's] downloaded?

Help & Support
1

I would like to know when are proper’s downloaded? I have a series called The Cafe and there are proper’s available for download but it never did download them. I do have the option in File management set to yes.

Also, it would be nice to have a feature in ND that you can just click a link and it searches for the proper’s for each TV series or All. Similar to how the manual search works.

Thanks

They downloaded when they are released within 7 days of the episode being downloaded and imported into NzbDrone and are for the existing quality you already have (it’s not going to download a proper for WEBDL-720p when you have HDTV720p and the cutoff has been met already).

I don’t see how that feature would be advantageous and not confusing to people, since propers are only important if they’re replacing the nuked release.

Well, in my case it never downloaded the proper even though it was available so it would make sense if ND does not download the proper.

I added Homeland a few weeks ago and the proper was available but ND never grabbed it for some reason. I have seen it work before where it would grab the proper, so for cases like that it would have been nice to have that option I mentioned above.

Does NzbDrone have an air date for that episode?

10

June 6 2011 it aired.

Maybe something is wrong with the nzb because ND finds it as:
Teen.Wolf.2011.S01E02.Second.Chance.At.First.Line.PROPER.720p, but processed it as:
Teen.Wolf.S01E02.Second.Chance.at.First.Line.[WEBDL-720p].[Proper].mkv

Yeah, thats the date I saw as well, just trying to sort out if its the date thats null or the collection of episodes, not sure how it would have reached that point without having a failure and an exclamation mark.

Exact name would matter on import, but for download it should be fine (from Newznab indexers), I’m able to search and grab that release without issue (manual search).
