I'm still new to Sickbeard, so forgive me if it already does this...
I'd really be interested in a "get highest quality" option. I realize "Best" does something similar, but AFAICT it falls a little short in two scenarios.
One, it doesn't help with stuff obtained outside of Sickbeard (like the large collection of stuff I have from pre-Sickbeard times). Two, I think "Best" needs three levels...SD, HD, BluRay.
Anyway, just spitballin here. As a python dev myself, I don't mind giving this a look if someone could point me to the right sections in the code and/or tell me if this would be a large undertaking or not.
I saw this quote from earlier in the thread:
midgetspy Wrote:Sick Beard only differentiates between SD and HD - any HD. HD is 720p x264 or better on your scale, SD is anything lower, but neither will match 1080i. There's no mechanism for re-downloading "better" HD episodes, mostly because I can't see really anybody ever using such a feature. I figure if somebody is really going to be that concerned about quality they'll probably want to manually police their reports anyway.
I would use the heck outta such a feature, so consider this a vote for it, and a potential offer of help in implementing it depending on how much work is involved.
