Detect Duplicate Downloads

Post by coclk »

MiniMac running OS X (10.6.8)
Processor 1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
SABnzbd 0.6.5
Skin: smpl Version 1.3

I have the Detect Duplicate Downloads switch set to Discard and I'm not sure if it is having any effect.

My RSS feed has items like *warehouse*13*s02* and it keeps getting any nzb file containing the same episode (i.e. e01 as a 720p, 1080p, web dl, or even multiple e01 720p if posted by different uploaders).

Perhaps I don't understand the targeted behavior, but I'm pretty sure previous versions of SABnzbd would not get these duplicates.

Is the feature broke in the current build?

Currently duplicate detection only works for 100% identical titles.
So alternatives will still slip through.
In a later release we will use the decoded season/episode info.

Re: Detect Duplicate Downloads - Used to work...

This used to work, right? Before I upgraded to the most recent release I never had difficulty with duplicates. Now, since the upgrade I'm getting everything.

Plus I have items like *FRENCH* and *GERMAN* in my RSS feed and it's still getting items with those terms in the title. Again, it didn't used to do that.

No it didn't use to work differently.

When you have a filter like *FRENCH*, of course titles with "french" in it will be selected.
Or do you want a Reject filter?
In that case, make sure it is a reject filter and that it precedes any Accept filter.

Re: Detect Duplicate Downloads

Post by miles267 »

I was hoping you might be able to assist me. I have an RSS feed setup with REJECT filters preceding any ACCEPT filters. Am REJECTING criteria such as *french*, *german*, *1080*, *web*, etc. And my ACCEPT filters include show titles such as SHOW A, SHOW B, etc. However my issue is that I specifically want SHOW A season 4 episodes only or SHOW B season 2 episodes. Even though my search provider lists them online like this:

Show A - 4x01
but the filename convention associated with this show is actually: Show.A.s04e01.720p

Do I refine the RSS filter to ACCEPT: "Show A - 4x" (without quotes) to receive only season 4 episodes? Or do I have to set the ACCEPT filter as: "Show.A.s04e" without quotes?
and are the search filters case-sensitive

Sorry for so many questions, but I appreciate your guidance.

In cases like you outline I have mine set to accept a pattern like *show*a*s04*720p*
