Creates an Entry for the next season needed in each series you have configured in the series plugin (intended to be used with the discover plugin). You must have one of either series or configure_series configured in the same task for this to work.
If FlexGet has not seen the series for some time and is locked to specific episode numbering scheme, or if the series is not explicitly configured to some format via begin or identified_by, next_series_seasons can not guess which season to emit.
Note that searching for season packs can produce episode results, depending on the search site. If you only want to accept season packs, set season_packs: only in your series configuration. For more information see the series season_packs option.
Once one quality has been successfully downloaded that season is never created again. This means that discover with next_series_seasons does not currently work with quality upgrades.
Currently the following settings are supported:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| from_start | Start emitting seasons from the start of a show (season 1) or the series begin season |
| backfill | Emit any missing previous seasons back to the series begin season |
| threshold | Only emit seasons where threshold or less episodes have already been downloaded |
If you would like to start every show automatically without setting the begin episode, you can configure next_series_seasons like this:
next_series_seasons:
from_start: yes
NOTE: This requires the series option identified_by to be present and set to ep.
If you want flexget to attempt to retrieve any episodes you're missing from any season, you can configure next_series_seasons like this:
next_series_seasons:
backfill: yes
NOTE: Along with this setting, you must also set the series option tracking to backfill, or series will reject the emitted seasons as being too far in the past.
