RSS reject by Category?

Post by Eejit »

Is it possible to reject files in the RSS feed by the category they come from?

For example, I have TV.SHOW but I want it accepted if it comes from a HD category but rejected if it comes from a SD category? There might be nothing in the title to suggest it's origin.

Hope this makes sense. Not really used the RSS feeds before except for NZBMatrix bookmarks.

Reject is based on title content.
For categories there's only RequireCat.

I thought that was the case though I didn't see the RequireCat option.
Does this mean I could Accept all the RequireCat's and Reject * after?
Just tried that and RequireCat doesn't seem to work. Can't find it's use in the Wiki. How do I use it?

RequireCat and then a name of a category used by the RSS feed.
Partial matches and wildcards are possible.
Of course, the RSS feed must have categories and in a way understood by SABnzbd.
Newzbin and nzbmatrix have them.

Thanks again shypike. I've been trying it with DOGnzb and that may be why it's not working.
I've tried "TV", "TV*" and "TV > HD" in the filter but everything is coming up as not matched so far.

:edit:
Forget that. I forgot to add the accept filter at the end. It's working now. I just need to figure out the best way to implement it for rejecting certain categories. I suppose I just need to RequirCat all the categories I want and leave out the ones I don't.

:edit 2:
Didn't realise that I needed a separate feed for each category that I wanted. Thought I could add all the RequirCat filters in the one feed. Working a treat now. Working exactly as I want now, effectively rejecting on a category.

Thanks shypike.
