[FEATURE] - Lidarr - Choosing one filetype for quality

[bonelifer]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Can we choose to only support downloading MP3's, instead of M4A's. I may just don't understand Lidarr enough.

The scripts only download in the quality available, and it will only convert uncompressed files to a desired format when enabled.... My guess is that your using freyr client, which only supports M4A file type. So if you want a different quality, you have to consider changing how you're sourcing it, instead of the current method/configuration. It's possible to do what you want, but now based on how your using it...

This is based on a educated guess by making assumptions on how you've configured the scripts... Post your config for more detailed information...

Here's my config file.

importPath="/config/extended/import"      # OPTIONAL, only change if needed.... Completed downloads are stored here for the Usenet Blackhole client to import from. When Using queue cleaner, failed imports will be automatically cleaned up.
videoPath=""                              # Final destination/location of completed Videos

Try enabling "requireQuality" by setting it to true, to see if that resolves your issue.
