Ignore episodes that was dowloaded already

[matan82]

Hi,
Please add a feature that check if the episode was downloaded already from another distribution group and ignore the new one...

Thanks a lot.

SABnazb only downloads what YOU tell it to. Unless you mean one of the third party apps?

[matan82]

I mean that if two distribution groups published an episode in the rss feed, SAB will download them both...

How can i avoid it?

Thanks

If you are sure you only need a specific one, you can use Reject filters.
For more control you need a front-end like CoachPotato or SickBeard (both are easy to google).

I prefer to use RSS feeds to find new TV episodes rather than run a 3rd party front-end. It doesn't happen too often, but every now and then an episode will be downloaded two or three times (if it's released by more than one group) like matan82 says.
I realize that EpisodeButler or Sickbeard could be set up to only download one of each episode, but adding a switch like this to SabNZBd doesn't seem like it would be too big of a deal, would it?

What you ask is not a trivial thing to add., especially if you want any reliability.
Maybe in a future release.
