Auto Downloader
Seanime allows you to automatically download new episodes as they are released. It does this by periodically checking the RSS feed of your chosen provider for new episodes and downloading them based on the rules you set.
Rules
A rule is a set of parameters that determine which episodes to download. Each rule has the following parameters:
- Comparison title: The title of the anime to compare parsed torrent titles against.
- Type of match: The type of match to use when comparing the comparison title with the parsed torrent title. The available options are:
- Most likely: The scanner comparison algorithm will be used to determine if the torrent matches any of the anime titles.
- Exact match: The parsed torrent title must contain the comparison title.
- Episodes to look for: The available options are:
- Recent releases: Episodes that are not present in the library, and you have not watched.
- Select: Only the episode numbers you enter will be considered if they are not present in the library.
- Resolution: The quality of the episodes to look for (e.g., 720p, 1080p).
- Release group: The subgroup of the episodes to look for (e.g., SubsPlease).
Settings
The auto-downloader settings allow you to configure the following parameters:
- Enabled: Whether the Auto Downloader is enabled.
- Enhanced queries: Use multiple search queries based on the different release groups.
- Interval: The interval at which the Auto Downloader checks for new episodes.
- Download immediately: If turned off, the Auto Downloader will add found torrents in the "Queue" tab instead of downloading them immediately.
