autograb.manage.Episodes Autograb is looking for, and the release it chose for each. Shows that grab (live, or every show with global dry run off) grab their choice; a show in dry run only records it.
About this page
Missing: aired, monitored, and not on the server. Below the cutoff: on the server in a quality below the profile's cutoff (Standard: WEBRip 1080p, so any 1080p WEB release is enough), with upgrades on. Monitored episodes count, and every regular-season episode of a show with Upgrade existing episodes switched on (on its Shows page or the Live shows page), marked back catalogue. Specials and episodes marked can't be got or don't flag never count. A TV capture (HDTV) Autograb grabbed always counts until a streaming copy at the cutoff replaces it, whatever the switches say.
The back catalogue is searched slowly so the indexers are never flooded: a few searches an hour across every show, each episode at most once a week, and two, four, then eight weeks apart while searches find no usable release. Upgrade grabs share the one daily cap on the Settings page.
Each is searched on a schedule from its air date: every 10 minutes for the first day, hourly to 3 days, every 6 hours to 2 weeks, daily to 60 days, then weekly. In its first hour only 1080p is grabbed; after that the best there is, replaced when 1080p comes. The RSS sweep reads every indexer every 15 minutes besides. Search now asks every indexer at once; Why shows every release found, how the parser read it, its score and every reason it was refused.
Decisions records each decision when it changes: what Autograb would have grabbed, when, and why that release won.
