RSS Filter Not Working

Post by ipon70 »

I am very new to this so sorry if its a "newb" question.

I added a general RSS feed from my account on NZBMatrix. 

I previewed the results and see a bunch of shows.  So I tried to fill in the "filter" area with the "accept" order type picked the words "biggest*loser*s09*" nothing came up in the matched section.  So I changed it to just "biggest*loser*" and still nothing matched even though its listed right there in the preview.

Maybe I just don't understand the way to write it.

Oh and then I tried Survivor and it showed up in matched...but then even after I deleted the filter it still showed up???  weird stuff.

More randomness.... I just tried unchecking the feed box so its red instead of green, when I do that all the filters I write match.  Leave the filters alone, and check the box again so the feed is green and the match goes away.

Thanks for any help on this.

You're probably doing something wrong.
PM me the URL and the filter settings.

Ok I gave up on this program a long time ago....but now I am back and wish to learn how to use this.

Same issue is happening again.

I added the general tv rss feed from NZBMatrix.  I have on the one filter and that is the default "*" and I changed that to reject.  I did a preview and everything was rejected.  Now I waited a little bit and anything since I put that filter in, doesn't show its going to be skipped. 

Any ideas??

Here is a partial preview of what I have, the ones without the "*" have come in since the filter was added or changed to reject.
