Video quality is considered along with tags, which I don't really understand myself. Torrents with the PROPER tag have highest priority, etc. It can get very granular. I never distrusted this system and find it better than going off uploader name.
Sonarr only downloads media according to the the rules you give it. If you don't give it any rules, it will just grab whatever immediately matches the quality profile (1080p, 2160p, etc)
What you can do is follow the trash-guides. Those will give you an updated list of decent groups, and if you use them with notifiarr/recylarr, the profiles on sonarr/radarr will also auto-update along with changes in the guides
Ok, and how is that any worse than looking at uploader name like we're still in 2004. The automatic method is fine.
Maybe for you, but that's not how it is for a lot of other people. Some of us prefer to control what releases we grab instead of blindly passing it off to what is essentially a glorified RSS reader (when you don't set up rules)
Ok, and why is that? I don't see how your method is any better.
Like I said before it's about control. A lot of us want to be able to control what we want to watch, the specific release groups and source of the content we watch. I'm not saying it's necessarily better than what you do. You have a 128tb media server and you're obviously a lot more invested into this whole thing than I am but I prefer to control my content.
Yeah, but it's the 128TB part of it that's really interesting to me. It's my dream to be able to afford something like that. Mind sharing the specs?
Sounds amazing. You probably have a lot of remuxes then. Find a way into BeyondHD all you'll be set for life especially considering you can continue seeding long-term
