[Noob Warning] Setting up RSS feeds - Can't make it work properly

Post by Symbiot »

Hi

I really hope I'm just retarded here.. but I cannot seem to get the RSS feeds working.

What I want is:

download feeds from nzbmatrix.com
filter the feed for the tv-episodes I want
download

Now What I've done is:

setup a feedXML from nzbmatrix.com
added this feed to sabnzbd feeds.
Run a preview; result = a long list of episodes ranging from S02 to S01
Ok.. Then on to filters

the series I want is S02 in 720p from a specific group ( this is mostly to avoid duplicates of each episode)

Right now there is a filter (pr default) with '*' as the only filter

Ok, I add "Requires" 720p to avoid lower quality releases and click 'add'.
then run a preview again. And already the filters fail... I get 1080p releases as well...

Check screenshot to see what I am typing in...

Am I just completely misunderstanding the principles here?




I added 'Requires' 720p to filter away low quality episodes
Then ran a preview

The filters are processed in order.
You must have the "Require" filter before the "Accept".

Please read the Wiki: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-rss-v2
First batch

Note: to prevent the download of a (potentially) large backlog, the first batch of NZBs will not be downloaded automatically. These lines are marked with an asterisk '*'. Only new jobs in subsequent read-outs will be downloaded.
If you still want the matches in the first batch to be downloaded, click on the "Force Download" button.
