I only download 1080p unless it’s something like LOTR that I’ll splurge on space for. A comedy doesn’t need spectacular visual fidelity.
Just downloaded a 44gb file for a 1080p version of Forest Gump, and I’m just kinda not interested in filling my hard drives with excessive file sizes. Noticed that some other films are 20gb and 13gb, etc, still way too big for what they are.
Any way to maybe have radarr have a file size preference? Like, for 1080p I don’t need it to be any bigger than 3gb, and most movies can be 1.5gb and be fine
Edit: I have to say, I asked a beginner/basic question and no one here has tried to belittle me, or come at me with hostility, I’ve only gotten helpful advice. Thank you all!
You can do this with custom formats. You’d want to create a custom format that gives a score if the file is below a certain size threshold (say 1.5GB per hour), then add minimum custom scores to the release profiles you use (e.g. Bluray 1080p). You can also add custom filters for release groups that prioritise file size. YTS for example keeps their releases as small as possible.
