[Feature Request]: Keyword/Tag Search. Preferred Codec Auto-Selection about miru HOT 1 CLOSED

this is a no for the same reason all other "filter torrent results" requests are denied: "this is too hard"

first:
Miru's main focus is streaming, as such you need to prioritize torrents with enough seeders, which will allow real-time playback, this isn't qbit where you can wait 30hrs for a download to finish, and determining which torrent is suitable for streaming is insanely difficult, which is why Miru prioritizes seeders and torrents of high qualities which are permanently seeded, limiting the results it can pick from will pretty much always negatively impact it's viewing experience

second:
determining what codecs a torrent is, from the name alone isn't reliable, sometimes codecs are included, sometimes not

codecs rarely mean quality, there are cases where 264 will be better than 265 and other way around, thats why Miru picks what's best automatically from manually maintained databases

if you want to manually pick torrents then you can disable auto-pick torrents in settings, and filter the results to pick releases yourself, maybe a more appropriate issue would be "persist rss search filter"

you can also set a home screen rss feed which is of your preferred codec, from sources like ASW or erai-hevc
