Reddit Best Method to Download Entire Seasons

How can I download whole season packs instead of individual episodes? (Sonarr V3)

I've heard that Sonarr V3 tin can support downloading whole seasons instead of private episodes. This would be useful for me since Sonarr is skipping H265 serial releases for H264 episode releases, which I do non want. How can I tell Sonarr to get whole seasons?

I've heard that Sonarr V3 can support downloading whole seasons instead of individual episodes.

V2 can do this likewise - y'all click the magnifying glass icon at the flavor level. Personally I dislike this feature every bit you can specify which release group to grab ... I wish at that place was a manner for Sonarr to display a list of results and allow you to select which flavour pack.

level one

If it is a standard series it will look for seasons, if you apply anime information technology will look for individual episodes.

Also you need to check if the tracker you are using has a Idiot box Packs Catagory.

I'd go grab them manually. Sonarr is mostly useful for downloading new episodes as they release like a PVR.

level 2

I agree. Sonarr has occasionally got the season packs for me, but in full general I notice it easier and more consistent to go find them myself.

It'southward usually much more than efficient to use some transmission intervention to fill up your back itemize, and let Sonarr grab new episodes as the release.

level 2

If I add a series that's been running and I don't want it to take hold of a pack I usually catch the first one manually and so grab the others in one batch later unmarking the first episode. This forces it to catch each episode individually rather than finding a pack.

This isn't every bit dandy a feature as it sounds. At least non in my experience. You have to download huge amounts of data to find out a download is bad and y'all can't watch anything until the whole thing is in. To each his own obviously, but you're non missing out on much.

level 1

Turn logging up to trace, go to a show and practice a manual flavour search and wait at the results. In that search is a toggle/pick to testify all results. Run across how flavor packs autumn ranking wise west/ individual ones. The default sort lodge is preference social club.

I tend to download season packs manually. You're committing to a lot of data only to find out that Sonarr grabbed a release that you don't want. Maybe information technology pulled the low bitrate 264 release and you'd prefer the college bitrate. Or information technology pulled the remux prepare and you lot'd prefer the the smaller 265 encodes. Or worst of all it pulled the one that wasn't freeleech now you accept 500Gb of download to cover. Yes you can embrace most of those scenarios with good Custom Formats/Preferred Tags merely it's still non perfect.

Given that I only demand to do it once for a whole series I notice it worth the endeavour.

level 1

hopefully you lot will get a helpful reply so i can utilize information technology also.
