Status Modes

SickGear episodes can be set a status that can affect :

• Searching
• Downloaded state
• Individual episode count (#this# / ## episodes downloaded) in the web ui footer
• Total episode count ( ## / #this# episodes downloaded) in the web ui footer

Migrating SickBeard users note; "Ignored" and "Skipped" have more impact on processes here.

When a known episode media file is removed, its status can change to one set in config/Post-Processing/File Handling. It is recommended to change this option to "Set Archived". Only episodes with status "Downloaded" can change to status "Archived".

A "Wanted" episode must be "Snatched" before it can be marked "Downloaded". To override, change "Wanted" to "Skipped".

Status Type

The status type indicates the episode stage and/or state :

• Wanted
  • marks an episode ready to search for a suitable match
  • does not count toward individual episode count
  • is included in total episode count
  • is protected from accidental manual change to 'Downloaded' or 'Archived'
• Ignored
  • marks an episode to exclude from search and other processes
  • excludes the episode from all stat counts and progress bars
• Skipped
  • the episode file does not exist
  • is auto assigned to episodes not matched in the "Limited backlog search" period
  • must be manually changed to status Wanted in order to be searched
  • does not count toward individual episode count
  • is included in total episode count and progress bars (except for Specials)
• Snatched
  • is currently in a download client
  • does not count toward individual episode count
  • is included in total episode count and progress bars
• Failed
  • the snatch flagged as failed in the download client
  • marks the episode as one to try for an alternative release
• Downloaded (Quality)
  • has completed download and/or has been post-processed
  • is plus one toward the individual episode count
  • is included in total episode count
  • an episode file can be "Low" or "Best" quality
    • "Low" is shown by shading the episode row pink when a selected higher quality in the "Custom" -> "Initial" and "Upgrade to" lists is still being targetted
    • "Best" is shown by shading the episode row green when an episode file matches a preset "Quality" target, or the highest desired quality selection of the "Custom" -> "Upgrade to" lists
• Archived
  • this status can be preferred over Ignored/Skipped to mark an episode. It is used where an episode is known to have existed via a filesystem check during the daily update, and where the file is later deleted or archived offline. The post processing setting "Status of removed episodes" should be set to "Set Archived"
  • is plus one toward the individual episode count
  • is included in total episode count and progress bars
