<p>We prefer not to use the file format for two reasons: most
people don't know what they are (and probably don't care, as long
as they can open and play them), but most of all, TVShows doesn't
<em>know</em> the file format before downloading.</p>
<p>Anyway, can you give us examples of episodes you get in .avi? I
am subscribed to my shows in SD and I haven't seen many .avi files
since last year, and they're mostly late night shows (which are
quite erratic).</p></div>Cristina Gómeztag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/297615632014-03-15T19:24:34Z2014-03-15T19:24:35ZFile format preferences<div><p>I'm having this issue too, but just the last episodes of how i
met your mother (s09e20) modern family (s05e17), the big bang
theory (s07e18). Mainly the torrents have this [<a href=
"http://www.Torrenting.com">www.Torrenting.com</a>] prefix to the
folder name, so i suppose it has to be related to the source.</p></div>Carlostag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/297615632014-03-15T21:14:40Z2014-03-15T21:14:41ZFile format preferences<div><p>I'd like to bump this for discussion. Recently, 90% of my
torrents are coming in from <a href=
"http://www.Torrenting.com">www.Torrenting.com</a> and they are
always in MKV. I don't want MKVs - I'd prefer AVI or MP4. If it's
not possible to filter by format, is there a possibility to select
your preferred source?</p></div>Travistag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/297615632014-03-16T21:18:59Z2014-03-16T21:19:00ZFile format preferences<div><p>+1 I think it would be good so specify preferred file types. Or
as suggested, what file types you do not want...</p></div>Martintag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/297615632014-03-24T11:34:51Z2014-03-24T11:34:53ZFile format preferences<div><p>I agree, and would definitely appreciate file format
preferences.</p>
<p>For anyone using apple tv, avi, mkv, etc. don’t work and
anything that is downloaded that isnt .mp4 has to be found and
downloaded again.</p></div>Philiptag:support.tvshowsapp.com,2011-10-12:Comment/297615632014-05-22T17:55:36Z2014-05-22T17:55:38ZFile format preferences<div><p>I second this motion! :)</p>
<p>It would be amazing to have file type choice!<br>
recently I have been downloading a lot of .mkv and I'm only
interested on having them on .avi or .mp4... :/</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for such a wonderful tool that you have created,
TVShowsApp team! :)</p></div>Serg
