OK so am more or less happy with my RSS filters, however there is one part that I just can't get to work.

I want to make a filter that rejects everything but 720p shows - this seems like a simple things but I refuses to function.

The filter I am trying to use is re:[^720p] to discard anything that does not have 720p in the title.

Any thoughts?

You could use either: or

Sorry - when I try either of these I still get both 720 & non-720 shows.

anyone else?

Matching is done sequentially from top to bottom. Make sure the reject filter is the first filter in the list (at the top)

It is - check the screen shots and you can see the output.
- does nothing and rejects all the 720p programs

When I look at tvnzb's RSS feed (now at least), I stuff like "blabla.720p.blabla".
Obviously trying to reject using "*-720p-*" will not work, there are no hyphens in the titles.

I think there might be some confusion - I am not trying to reject 720p files.

As I stated in my original post I am trying to reject everything BUT 720p files.

I know that I could just set a 720p reject filter if I wanted to reject all 720p titles - and the proper way to write "without" in regex is to a caret "^" so the proper reject code should be [^720p] and the filter should be interpreted as "reject if the title does not have 720p" - but it does not work.

So back to my original question - does anyone know of a way to reject everything BUT 720p files

I don't think you understand the regex rules.
[^720p] does not select or reject "720p", it will reject/select any title with a '7', '2', '0' or 'p' character in it.

To select all 720p posts just use the single rule
Accept:  *720p*

For more info see:

The problem with using *720p* is that now this selects everything with 720p in the title.

What I want to do is reject anything that doesn't have 720p in the title and from what is left over then run my title filters.

P.S. Forgot about

t will reject/select any title with a '7', '2', '0' or 'p' character in it.

I had a look about rejecting all items that do not have 720p in the title and I couldn't make a regex that would do it. I would recommend looking at putting it through yahoo pipes.

Thanx switch - glad to see that's it's not just me :-)

Will try the pipes approach

C

be easier to reject xvid.

[^(720p)] doesn't work - was one of the things that I had tried.

Got what I wanted by using yahoo pipes - THANKS SWITCH.

Nice that yahoo pipes work.
There is a way to do it with filters, but the approach is different:

Accept | *ShowA*720p*
Accept | *ShowB*720p*
Accept | *ShowC*720p*

You need to put all the acceptance criteria in one expression.
Rejecting non-720p as such is impossible.
