I've just joined the Plex community by installing it on my home web server.
So far I'm loving it, but I also have a few questions about possible features:
1: I have an automatic download system for tv shows. But because there are multiple shows with possibly different qualities (or higher qualities get released later). I would like to have a feature which detects if there are multiple versions of a media file and deletes the lowest quality file.
2: Right now it is possible to select an attached SRT file. would it be possible to have a database attached in which we can mark a certain subtitle language as standard download?

That should be part of your automated download system.

Yes that would be best.
But I'm using flexget to add torrents to transmission. And at the moment there is no way to configure flexget to delete files of the same type depending on the quality. (I think)
What about using flexget to specify the quality you desire? To get you what you want first hand. You can use things such as quality 720p+ or even things like 720p - bluray
Otherwise a script would be necessary to query what plex shows you have and get their quality using and XML parser (python) and then executing delete statements… THEN you’d have to run the file name against the flexget db, so it knows to look for a new episode… but it might find that one again so resort to the above.
