Seer: changing torrent preference from episode to season

Posted by Nultima

As it stands right now, using Seerr into Radarr tells qBittorrent to find individual torrents for each episode of a season. Unfortunately though, unless a show is currently releasing episodes, most indexers have very few seeders for individual episodes but will have many more seeders for full seasons or full collections. Tom AI says this can be changed as a configuration somewhere, though it isn't really the best at explaining where or how, but if that's possible then I think that preference should be configurable somewhere as a TomSparkBox setting

Good catch on the app — for TV it's actually Sonarr doing the grabbing, not Radarr (that one's for movies), so Sonarr is where you'd look. And you're right that there's no clean switch today: SparkBox doesn't have a "prefer season packs" setting, and Sonarr itself has no simple always-grab-seasons toggle. It grabs episodes one-by-one while a show is still airing — there's no complete pack yet — and for a finished season it can pull the whole pack. To force that on a done show: open Sonarr, find the series, and click the magnifier on that season to search and pick the full-season torrent. Making this a proper SparkBox setting is a great idea — I've logged it for Tom, and as a backer your requests go straight onto his list.
