If you were to enable HD Only at the DVR Level, would that prevent recordings that aren’t available in HD from recording?
If so, this might be why I’m thinking a toggle, in the DVR Settings, on what quality to priortise would be more convientent, so SD recordings will only happen when HD quality isn’t available but prioritises HD all the time!
Remove Any in Recording Settings and replace with either Prefer HD or Prefer SD depending on the toggle option in DVR Settings.
The Plex DVR Quality Prioritisation Toggle (DVR Settings) should default to HD.
If the toggle (DVR Settings) is set to HD, recording settings default would be Prefer HD
If the toggle (DVR Settings) is set to SD, recording settings default would be Prefer SD
This new system would mean only three options overall. The Resolution options for recordings would be -
-
Prefer HDorPrefer SD(depending on the toggle direction) HD OnlySD Only
Prefer HD would prioritse HD recordings, SD as a fallback.
Prefer SD would prioritise SD recordings, HD as a fallback (maybe ideal for low storage users)
HD Only would only record HD, never SD.
SD Only would only record SD, never HD (probably for users like in this forum post with not too powerful hardware)
