Ahoy!
Once long ago I ripped some movies from DVD, and in ignorance, saved to a lossy format. (The DVDs have also long since gone.) This was fine for a time but now as TVs are getting bigger and quality is improving, I am seeing the compression artifacts.
Does anyone know of some software that will scan a directory for media, identify the codec used, and then find better quality rips present for download & replacement? I would rather not go through the process manually and I have to imagine I’m not the only one that’s had this issue.

Sonarr.
I can’t imagine how people pirate without Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Readarr these days
It really is a no-brainer with how many resources are out there to configure it all.
Yep, this looks like the thing - thanks!
I haven’t (yet) dipped toes in the *arr worlds yet, so it’s great to know the feature’s there.
Was thinking the other morning about how pre-Sonarr/Prowlarr/Jackett (ya know, in the before times, in the long long ago) how I used to wake up in the morning and end up browsing eztv and demonoid during breakfast, manually downloading 1-10 episodes of My Random Guff™ a day.
Now by the time I touch my PC in the morning all my shows are waiting for me in Plex without having to think about it.
i feel this. i had to toss a wall of dvds i had previously ripped… they melted in the garage. but i figured, owell, i have the data.
then 1080 came out and i realized my mistake. ive spent years upgrading my media. im up to the M’s i think… there are plenty of scrapers out there for auto-torrenting, but ive had no luck doing it in volume. ymmv
Radarr can accomplish this very easily for you!
I’m not sure if it’s exactly what you need but I know sonarr (shows) and radarr (movies) can scan added media and do upgrades
Radarr can accomplish this very easily for you!
