Add the ability to request individual episodes #342

Open samwiseg0 opened 3 years ago

samwiseg0 commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently it is only possible to request entire seasons. This can present a problem as some seasons can have a very large amount of episodes. Being able to have more granular control of what can be requested could cut down on the amount of items that are being downloaded and prevent seasons with massive amount of episodes to be requested. A good example would be, a user wants to try out an old show. They can just request a few episodes to see if they like it.

Describe the solution you'd like Be able to request individual episodes.

Describe alternatives you've considered N/A

Additional context Other examples that would benefit from this feature: https://github.com/sct/overseerr/issues/349

I'm now using a PowerShell script to find lost (or deleted) episodes in my library. This feature with a "partially complete" filter will make my day to find them and try to finish my seasons. Thanks for your efforts.

A Suggestion for how this could appear to the end user:

When a series is checked, expand the view to also have all of the episodes ticked. A user can then de-select episodes if they wish. Alternatively, allow a "Season X" (e.g Season 1) of a series to be tapped next to the checkbox (i.e on the text) for it to expand the view, so episodes can be checked - this would be more useful when a season has a LOT of episodes, or only a few needed to be checked, and even for space saving reasons.

Alternatively I would like to suggest the option "only the new episodes", option already available on Sonarr

That is not related to this feature request. Please follow #478 for updates.

This feature is the only thing stopping me from fully moving from ombi, so I definitely +1 this.

Alex-Goaga commented 3 years ago

A suggestion : After the feature is implemented and the an episode is available on a TV Series, a play on plex button would be nice on each row targeting to the specific episode ? (instead of launching the plex app to the tv series and then the user should select the season and the the episode.)

Bump

Avsynthe commented 2 years ago

Bampin. Most requested feature from my users due to Australian fibre being sub 100mbps on average and all episodes in a season downloading at once can clog/slow speeds to a point where the user simply won't be watching what they want that night.

orenhecht commented 1 year ago

This would be great! Sometimes I just want to try a show, so downloading the first few episodes instead of the whole season would be really helpful (especially when I realize after the first episode that the show is not for me). +1 from me!

FYI $50 bounty offered to whomever solves this https://app.bountysource.com/issues/102138234-add-the-ability-to-request-individual-episodes

shoppedude commented 1 year ago

Another use case that would make this feature valuable: Certain shows (PBS Great Performances, 60 Minutes) are very topical and specific per episode. Being able to select the specific episode (i.e. s50e18 - Celebrating 50 Years of Broadway's Best) vs. the entire season would conserve both disk space and download time whilst providing the requester with the specific content they are seeking.

To put my money where my mouth is, I have added to the bounty and it is now valued at $100. https://app.bountysource.com/issues/102138234-add-the-ability-to-request-individual-episodes

can you share it?

Vansmak commented 6 months ago

It's really just tailored to me. It's nothing like overseer or a way to request. It's just my way of managing my own sonarr tv shows. I'm sorry my post didn't elaborate. I too wanted overseer to do this because I don't always wat a whole season until I know I'm going to watch it all. I watch a lot of older shows and start with just the pilot. My ap I call OCDarr just automates the fetching and deleting x# ep at a time to full season. Feel free to try but it's kinda niche https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/vansmak/ocdarr/
