i have a question, with this new custom quality, i think these 720p WEB DL should be handled like Propers, the HD TV hits first, then if they do web releases the WEB DL follow a day or 2 later usually, so i want them replaced

right now i have first grab HD TV, then replace with 1080BR, 720BR, 720WEBDL. but what i find is that if a 720p WEBDL is avail, it still grabs the HD TV version first, where as i would like it to grab the best version it can find from hd tv to 1080pBR, and when it does backlog checks it always looks for a better quality version.

so, should i basically have hdtv 720pwebdl, 720br, 1080br as initial, then 720pwebdl, 720br, 1080br as updated quality? just seems like alot of stepping on toes.

for current shows the BR rips usually come out much later, and a 720pWEBDL is like a PROPER anyways, usually better quality in same time period.

so, should i do this? initially download: HD TV, 1080p BluRay, 720p BluRay, 720p WEB-DL + replace with: 1080p BluRay, 720p BluRay, 720p WEB-DL

that just seems strange to me, but i think it may work

I cannot agree more! Laugh

A UK equivelent of a similar show - This is Essex!
It's absolute drivel!

when using custom, the first section is initial download. this must be met first before the 2nd section. if you want the show to just grab x quality.. set it to that quality. if you want it to do one quality then another then yet another. run 2 instances of sickbeard and set it up that way.

glad to hear it smobbo. lots of goodies in the works currently in testing. to follow the new add show page were doing an updated mass edit page. lots of cosmetic tweaks to make things a little easier for touch device users or just lazy mouse users. new windows build should be built out soon then we will be pushing out more updates to git master branch to start public testing.

Great news! I'm going to wait for the new Windows build before I upgrade.

what i want it to do, is first, grab the best quality out there, then, i would like it to download a better version if one is ever released. how can i accomplish this?

Just wanted to check on a particular setting. The NZB Method. I currently have that set to Black Hole. I have my SABnzbd set to watch the folder that I set for the NZB Blackhole.

Is that the preferred method or should I change the NZB Method to SABnzbd. I'm really not sure what this actually does.

Thanks!

use custom, and set the initial quality to whatever you want.. sd or hd related. then for archive set the 'better' version of the sd/hd version. -note that you can select multiple things. if you want the best of either.. you'd need to run 2 instances of sb. generally people want one thing then archive another.
