But in your example, if I already have an imported one let's say 720p, it will still try looking for SD since this is the cutoff... (and will show up in the wanted section etc...) But, I'm fine, I just learned how to work around this limitation using the "monitor last season", quality settings, etc.. (I'm really happy to get all the help and suggestions, but no one really acknowledge that this should be optimized... In my mind, it's simple, an option to check "any of them as cutoff" or select more than one cutoff (of something like that)... But after really fooling around it, like mentioned, I worked around this and it's fine... I won't fight this I see the purpose of it, and it works great IF user started from the beginning with Drone and doesn't change its mind lol but IMO, something more should be done in this area...

Delphi 83 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) no it wouldnt because the cutoff has been met by a higher quality... if i drag sd to the top of the list then it would behave as you said Edited June 30, 2014 by Delphi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfnetwork 514 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 wow.. you just confused me even more lol. The order is the order in which Drone will look for releases and cutoff is when at this quality setting, it stops looking. (the way I understand it) So in your/my example, cutoff is sd but at last order position so having a 720P already, even if in the order it's first, cutoff is SD so it would keep looking... I think...

Yeah and in this example, it would be the other way around, if this show had a previously imported episode in 720P, it would still look for SD. See my point? There is no foolproof scenario.

Adding shows one at a time is no different from doing it in SickBeard. You don't have to go into each season, but NzbDrone will monitor any that you haven't selected for unmonitoring.

Luke 37092 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 it depends on what their goal is. if they want to become a full fledged metadata manager, then they can continue what they're doing. if all they want to do is help people add new episodes, there are probably easier ways.

Luke 37092 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 truthfully i would have preferred for them to just send the server a notification and let the server take care of the rest. anytime we add features it means new metadata fields. i do notify interested parties but you never really know how long they're going to take. if they were to go the notification route then they don't have to worry about our metadata at all, and the end result is the same.

CBers 6771 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) @@Luke - the MediaBrowser metadata is now active in the latest NzbDrobe release, but MBS isn't picking it up. I have added iZombie via NzbDrone and it created the series.xml file, but MBS doesn't recognise it, even if I refresh the series from the Dashboard. If I create a Season 1 folder, then MBS goes out and finds the information etc. Is the structure of the series.xml file OK, or is something wrong ?? If you could take a look, I can then report back to the NzbDrone forums. If you require NzbDrone to do something different, then we'll need to speak to them. Thanks.

Luke 37092 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 we don't use metadata files to detect content types because some programs as well as some users don't create them in the right places, and we're the ones who end up having to provide the technical support. they don't need the series.xml. have them create the series folder + either a season 1 folder, or an episode video file. the combination of those two will lead to series detection. since we also support multiple metadata formats, doing it this way will allow the server to handle the metadata and incorporate all of the relevant settings related to it.

CBers 6771 Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Who was it that told them to create the xml file then? I'm sure when I used SickBeard it created the series folder and series.xml file and MBS was happy to fetch the relevant metadata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14920 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 CBers just so you don't think you are going crazy - we used to resolve items based on the existence of metadata files but that was changed back in the big provider refactor I believe.

CBers 6771 Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks Eric. I think someone put up on their Trello board that a series.xml file was sufficient.

CBers 6771 Posted August 8, 2014 Author Share Posted August 8, 2014 The presence of a season folder instead of a metadata file to add the series to MB3 is a downgrade, the fact that either must exist for the series to be scanned in is awkward at best, so I hope thats not the case. Regardless, we have no plans to create an empty season folder when adding a series. So looks like we're back to square one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
