Prevent duplicates with different non-alphanum characters

Post by mollydog »

Hi

I've noticed that duplicates are downloaded if they come from separate RSS feeds and only have differing non alphanumeric characters. For instance some are separated with a dot, others with a dash. SAB currently doesn't recognise these as duplicates.

Is it possible to add this or would it cause problems elsewhere?

Thanks

Current titles must be 100% the same.
We are looking at a better method for a future release.
Have you considered using SickBeard as a front-end?

I haven't looked at that no, but will do thankyou.

I guess it would be extravagant to support cross-RSS matching if there is something better in the pipeline. I looked on the blueprints and didn't see anything mentioned. Have you any idea how far in the future?
