SABnzbd Forums

After using Newsleecher for years, I made the switch yesterday to Sabnzbd mostly due to the RSS feature. Using .67, read the tutorial and it seems to work except does not filter my reject entries, here's how mine looks:

FEED: nzbmatrix Xvid TV
REJECT: FRENCH*GERMAN*SPANISH
ACCEPT: Law*order*SVU*S12E*

It sill downloads the GERMAN version

I have about 30 TV shows entered and it was very tedious but if it works will be worth it. I "tested" this format on other shows to see if the syntax was working and it showed correctly, but when left alone, it failed.

Of course it does, you are rejecting only jobs with the words "french" AND "german" AND "spanish" in them.
That must be a rare breed.
What you need is this:

FEED: nzbmatrix Xvid TV
REJECT: FRENCH
REJECT: GERMAN
REJECT: SPANISH
ACCEPT: Law*order*SVU*S12E*

I see, thanks. Damn I wish there were a faster way to do this for dozens of shows I have reprogram.

If you're handy with regular expression it is possible to combine stuff:

Use this literal string for the reject

re:FRENCH|GERMAN|SPANISH

Ok nice. Edit this directly into the .ini or withinig the web interface REJECT?

Both are possible, but if you're going to edit the ini file,
first stop SABnzbd.

If you get your rss feed from nzbindex.com you can incorporate a set of default exclusions into the query that generates the feed. Just include -french -german -spanish into the default query.
Anyway, whatever feed you use, if you put the language exclusions at the top of SABnzb's filter list you will only need to do it once, not repeat it for each show.

I use nzbmatrix, which unfortunately claims the language filters are "broken" for now. Good tip, already programmed everything but did notice that just one mistake of ACCEPT vs REJECT of any language would result in only downloading foreign shows. If I have any issues, I'll check out nzbindex.com for sure.
