Preset Quality Size Options

[viktory36]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

My current quality thresholds are rather arbitrary - I remember copying the settings from trashguides and forgetting them. I'm sure it's like this for many others.

I want to be able to, with Sonarr's help, arrive at a more tailored configuration.

Describe the solution you'd like

I wish to implement a button on the Quality selector page, that

on click asks me a bunch of questions about releases

• that Sonarr has already grabbed for me and are on my disk
• do a rss or full search, and show me rejected releases

Show me their sizes, and ask me what I feel about those (is this too big for this kind of content? is it ok?), and arrive at a more tailored threshold setting.

I also wish to take a crack at this myself. But I'm a novice at programming and might not be able to make it. I'll keep this issue updated if I make progress.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Doing research on what file sizes are like now days, and maybe put up a blog post instead of this feature if it'll end up looking largely similar for everyone. Are quality thresholds largely static and decided by content uploaders or decided by storage available to downloaders?

Anything else?

they still exist https://trash-guides.info/Sonarr/Sonarr-Quality-Settings-File-Size/

if it'll end up looking largely similar for everyone

it's unique to each person's use case.

Are quality thresholds largely static

generally different release types will align with different thresholds

decided by content uploaders

bitrate from the source & the encoding used by the uploaders ultimately impact file size. e.g. megusta micro encodes vs. ntb encodes for the same release in the same quality

Scanning the current library doesn't make a lot of sense for the majority of users and wouldn't always cover every possible quality.

Having some sensible options that can be applied such as:

• Prefer smaller
• Prefer larger
• Recommended (something similar to trash's or in between small/large)
• Give me anything

That user's can apply then save seems like a reasonable middle ground.
