Maybe you need to be a bit more clear.
You need to use custom quality, best quality on top & then down to the worst
And you tell it at what quality you think it should not download a better one.
It's all very simple.
Then when you add a movie , you select the custom quality and it will be added with that to the list
----
What do you mean with back cat items ?
And what is your log saying when you add this
I shall try and be a little clearer...sorry!
By back cat I mean back catalogue films - e.g. films already out...with these I would expect to add these to the list and then the next time it updates it just gets them - is this accurate?
I have completed the settings as you suggested, then I tried adding toy story 2 and got the following log...it then didnt download - not even after I forced a reset - it just sits in my wanted list!!
