RSS and Duplicate avoidance

Hi all,

I am new to SABnzbd and was using NZBget for few days.
I used RSS and duplicate detection and avoidance (dupescore and dupekey) to stop from getting multiple downloads for same file / movie / episode.

I started SABnzbd after i was made aware that i can add multiple RSS feeds in same group, a feature which i dont think is there in NZBget... however now i need to setup same duplicate avoidance setup and cant find an option in RSS tab for the same, i visited wiki for RSS and dont see of that nature here.

Any help will be appreciated. TIA

The duplicate detection of SABnzbd is not as extensive as NZBGet's.
During RSS fetching it's only based on name and Show Episode/Season information (if Series Duplicate Detection is enabled and set to Discard).
By default only detects duplicates in the queue after they have already been downloaded (so only using History).
Alternatively, you can also enable the ".nzb backup-directory" in Config > Folders and it will also check if there's an exact filename match for the NZB in the backup directory.
