Flexget quality selection

[phate2k3]

hi guys have been following the setting up as media server guide which has been fantastic sooo helpfull i have set up flexget to download tv shows but im at a loss on how to complete my config its all working fine downloading everything on hdtv quality as that all i realy want so completely took out the 720 bit but some shows just arent released hdtv and only 720 so some episodes are missing so what i want it to do is check for hdtv version if not then download the 720 maby its a simple as order of the config or something but has been hard to get the info as everyone else wants the exact oposit of me and want 720 first

so any advise on this one would be greatly appreciated

Hi phate2k3 and welcome to the forums.

I've not got a clue how to do what you're after doing, I suspect it's not possible. As you say, everyone wants to do it the other way round.

Maybe you could raise a ticket with them. If what you're after is already possible then they'll tell you how and close the ticket. If not, then it'll be considered an enhancement request.

Sorry I cannot be the bearer of good news.

Ian.

I know this topic is way old now, but I figured I'd post the solution just in case anyone else wanted to know. This should do the trick:

Code: Select all

series:
  settings:
    hdtv:
      quality: hdtv
      max_quality: 720p
      timeframe: 1 hour
  hdtv:
    - show 1
    - show 2
    - etc

This will grab HDTV episodes, but if there isn't one and FlexGet sees a 720p version it will wait 1 hour for the HDTV episode before downloading the 720p one.

Is it as simple as that? Blimey, thanks for sharing.
