Does SABnzbd support newznab attributes in RSS feeds?

Some indexers will have additional newznab attributes in their RSS feeds that could he helpful for filtering. One popular indexer does something like this:

Code: Select all

<newznab:attr name="category" value="5000"/>
<newznab:attr name="category" value="5030"/>
<newznab:attr name="group" value="alt.binaries.blah"/>
<newznab:attr name="poster" value="blah <[email protected]>"/>
<newznab:attr name="origin" value="p2p"/>
Being able to filter p2p or scene with the origin attribute in particular could be very useful. Can SABnzbd already do this or is this something it might support in the future? NZBGet supports this with Accept:( attr-origin:p2p ), but I prefer using SABnzbd.

I sure did. I couldn't find any documentation on it, so I just tried guessing formatting and wording on a filter and had no luck. I hope the feature can be added if it doesn't already exist.

We support to parse the following ones:

Code: Select all

<newznab:attr name="usenetdate_parsed" value="x"/>
<newznab:attr name="season" value="x"/>
<newznab:attr name="episode" value="episode"/>
There's indeed no filtering for the other stuff, because our RSS parsing is not super flexible.
In the cases you want to filter for example on indexer-category, I would suggest to filter the list on the side of the indexer. I know it's not super flexible.
