CouchPotato multiple qualities
When I first started using CouchPotato I saw a few screen shots people had on the internet with multiple qualities selected. I never could figure it out until now.
You need to go to your CouchPotato page, and go to Settings >> Quality, and there you will find a link that says
Create a new custom quality
You will then need to do the following:
- Give it a name, e.g. BR/DVD-Rip
- Select days to allow a better version to be downloaded
- Finally add the qualities that you would allow
Personally I like either DVD-Rip or BR-Rip with the later being preferred. After you save that you can go back into Settings >> Quality, and you can select your new custom quality as the default.
If you hover over the Finish heading in the custom quality it says the following:
Won’t download anything else if it has found this quality.”
I left the BR-Rip checked, and unchecked the DVD-Rip. We’ll see what this does, but it seems to me that it should allow keep looking for a BR-Rip even if a DVD-Rip has been found and downloaded, but if it has found a BR-Rip, then it won’t look any more for a DVD-Rip.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see how it works.
