Bulk edit RSS feeds

Post by macnab »

I have quite a few. And now I am starting to be plagued with so-called e-books which are 17kb exe files. Editing each feed in the list one by one to add &minsize=0.1 is not a trivial task.

Anybody have any suggestions? Maybe the rss_data.sab file just needs its extension changed to be a common database format?

Maybe just do a find/replace in the sabnzbd.ini file?

The filters are indeed in the INI file.
You'll have to stop SABnzbd before changing it. A backup is recommended.

The "rss_data.sab" file is in an internal binary Python data format, not a database.
It just contains a history of feed entries.

... or just fill out "exe" as "unwanted extension", and select to Pause on Unwanted Extensions. Problem solved; no bulk editing needed, also catches larger exe files ;)
