i could think it would go in the direction of setting up
duplicate filters for your shows but with and expression like (logical):
(proper|repack)&showname
and i think having smart episodes on. so that this one will catch the
propers/repacks if they are issued...
kurai what do you think?
of course other contributions welcomed.
you rang, m'lord ? 🙂
(sorry i've been quiet - very busy recently)
your method above is pretty much the only practical method i could come up
with too.
whatevershowfilterterm.+(proper|repack)
make sure to use the + regex metacharacter (instead of * or ? ) so that it only matches torrents that have at least 1 of the proper
and/or repack terms.
have smart episode option on for both filters.
set the move to top option so that the proper jumps the queue ahead of the
initial download.
there's no way (inside the torrent clients, anyway) of stopping and/or
removing the initial "bad" episode automatically, unfortunately.
... are you going to add this new tip to the guide?
i wonder if the person who wrote the rssfeedscanner could come up with a
solution that would automatically delete a downloading torrent if a
proper/repack version shows up...
yeah - i'll try and remember to get around to that. there was something else
i meant to add last week too, but i've forgotten what it was now :-/
as far as automating removal/deletion ... tricky. very tricky.
i can see a large number of pitfalls/headaches that would need to be worked
around. then there's the issue of how propers actually get released, nuked,
un-nuked, re-propered and all the fun and games that go with that etc etc.
then you'd have to be careful of making sure your proper list gets parsed
against the appropriate resolution original, and so on ...
... the list of issues gets longer and more hideous the more i think about it.
i, for one, would run a mile from trying to code something that awkward and
convoluted 🙂
to be perfectly honest it would be an awful lot of work for a very small
subset of rss users, for a situation that, on average, just doesn't occur very
frequently.
the worst case scenario of doing it one's-self with the `doubled up filters`
method is that you end up with an original `bad` edition as well as the
propers. that doesn't strike me as too excessive an overhead considering it
won't be an every-day occurence.
