ebr 14936 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 just wish they had a data import process for saved qualities. that would help bring over people from SB. it's going to be rough manually. The suggestion I saw on this was to use SB to rename the episodes with the quality tags and then import them into nzbd. I guess I already had the naming setup because it is figuring out my qualities properly as I move each series over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14936 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I think pretty well. I moved several of my active shows over to it yesterday. The ones it wasn't able to figure out right away, I was able to use their "organize" tool which did figure them out. Then it went about finding some of the episodes that Sickbeard had never been able to successfully grab with about a 90% success rate there. I'll let it continue for a week or so to ensure it is getting the new stuff as it should and then probably move everything else over. Thanks for the help.

psykix 97 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 On a side-note, has anyone switched from their current download client (eg. Sabnzbd) to, or use, NzbGet? Just wondered what people thought about it. I'll start another thread if there's a lot of feedback. . I have used both - I initially used SABNZBD and I switched to NZBGet because I was running this stuff on my NAS and NZBGet has far less overhead. However... I have since switched back to SABNZBD - after using NZBGet it had little quirks that irritated me and the only thing it has over SABNZBD I feel is the performance. (I was running 8 x SSL connections and my QNAP just couldn't handle it) If you are using NZBDrone then the integration with SABNZBD makes it all worthwhile. Also I use OZNZB and that integrates with SAB to show ratings and reports back success etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBers 6771 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks for your feedback @@psykix. I have also switched back to SabNzbD, as NzbGet was nowhere near as fast, I read on their forums that others are seeing speed issues in the latest beta builds. I have started a separate thread about NzbGet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14936 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 He wants the program to know what quality each episode is but the files don't contain the tags for it to be able to know that automatically. So he wants to be able to select a whole bunch of episodes and say these are all 720p. This isn't really an issue for me because a lot of my files have the quality tags but I really don't care what nzb drone thinks the quality is anyway since MB will figure it out on its own .

DGMayor 88 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Checked it out today since it got torrent support. Still a no go for me. Can't use my private torrent site (Sickbeard can), and I STILL can't mass edit episodes to change qualities. How that hasn't been implemented yet blows my mind.

saitoh183 137 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 That works if it is a new/current series and you want all the episodes. What if I just want to get the first 5 episodes from season 1 of a series with 5 seasons? I don't want to have it start downloading all five seasons of episodes - I just want those first few from the first season and then I'll see if I like it. Then later maybe I'll bring in five more, etc. You can do this easily by marking things "wanted" in Sickbeard. You could do it with wanted in nzbdrone too except for the lack of organization or filtering for that area. So, I guess the answer is, you just have to go click on each wanted episode and tell it to search for it. Not a huge deal but not quite as nice of a design. If you hit the bookmark tag on the season level and then just enable the bookmark tag for the episodes you want. I could be handled better probably.

ebr 14936 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I don't think that helps him either. He needs to tell nzbd what quality each actual episode is. The only way to do this is to have it in the file name as a tag or to manually change each episode in the interface. He doesn't want to use the file name tag and is fine with the manual change but needs to be able to select a whole season or groups of seasons and change them all at once instead of individually for each one.

CBers 6771 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 I think @@DGMayor needs to create a new Quality Profile with the highest quality he wants, as well as the current quality, then import everything against that new profile. Then he can change the Quality Cutoff to the highest level he wants per Show, Season or Episode. NzbDrone will then keep searching for a higher quality than he currently has. I think that might work.
