Upgrading older rips? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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

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.

It really is a no-brainer with how many resources are out there to configure it all.

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.
