This plugin will reject all entries that represent an episode of a series that is already on disk.
exists_series: /storage/series/
exists_series:
- /storage/series/
- /downloads/series/
By default, exists_series will not scan the entire directory tree pointed at by the configured paths. To have it recurse the entire directory tree, use the recursive directive. (Default: No; introduced in release 3.19.14)
exists_series:
path: /storage/series
recursive: yes
By default, the exists_series will not allow downloading of different qualities of the same episode. (If you already have Pioneer.One.S01E01.hdtv, Pioneer.One.S01E01.720p will be rejected.) If you would like to allow different qualities of the same episode, you can use the advanced form of configuration, like so:
exists_series:
path: /storage/series/
allow_different_qualities: yes
If you would only like to allow qualities that are better than what is currently on disk, you can use this format:
exists_series:
path: /storage/series/
allow_different_qualities: better
If you have a large collection of series, this plugin can be slow to parse all of your files. If you have your episodes organized into folders, you can optimize the performance of the plugin by specifying the specific series folder with Jinja:
exists_series: '/storage/series/{{series_name}}'
