How to filter INTERNAL releases

Post by fenlander »

There have been a number of duplicate Scene posts recently in which one is flagged 'INTERNAL'. My understanding is that these files are not supposed to be released publicly, but since they obviously are, I've been trying to filter them out in SABNZBD. A 'Reject *internal*' filter seems ineffective - the files are downloaded anyway. Any suggestions, please? Using SAB 0.7.0 on Vista/W7)
(Examples: White Collar S04E03, The Closer S07E18)

How are they flagged? I don't see "internal" in the title.
Do you have the reject filter at the top? It should be.

The White Collar pair appear in NZBS.org and NZB.su like this:

White.Collar.S04E03.INTERNAL.720p.HDTV.x264-EVOLVE
White.Collar.S04E03.720p.HDTV.x264-IMMERSE

Yes, the reject filter is the first in the list. I'm using the full TV-HD rss feed from the above sites and doing all filtering in SABNZBD.

As long as "internal" is in the actual RSS titles, SABnzbd will filter them out.
If the text is only in the unpacked filename, then you're out of luck.
PM me a screenshot of the RSS preview page.

After some PMs with shypike on this topic, I thought I'd pass along the resolution...

A while ago I read a thread here about restoring the Plush skin appearance to the Config pages post version 0.7.0. This involved clearing the uniconfig check box under Config-Special. BEWARE! A side-effect of doing this is that you lose the check boxes that activate/deactivate filters in Config-RSS. If you create new filters in 0.7.n with the uniconfig check box unset, they are inactive by default and you have no way of seeing that this has happened or activating the new filters. Best to leave uniconfig at its default (checked) setting.

In my case, I had deselected uniconfig, so my new 'Reject: internal' filter was not activated.

Thanks, shypike, for putting your finger on the cause of the problem.

They're supposed to be enabled by default.
I'll check.

Yes, the problem is confirmed. It will be fixed in 0.7.3.
We are trying to discourage people to keep using the old skin's Config pages.
But obviously this is not the way to go about it :(
