Hi All

Lately there has been a lot of posts on NZB Matrix that is " shows names HDTV x264 xxx " and normal " Shows name HDTV xxx "

So i want to know how do i stop the x264 versions of the shows for dling.

I have tried the reject in rss feed but nothing is working.

Please let me know.

Thanks
Vodka2

Filters are tested one by one until a match occurs.
Your "Reject x264" should be the first filter.

Thanks. I will give it a go

OK. So i did what you said and still the shows ended up in the queue. Any other suggestions?

Reject *x264*

Thanks

Vodka2,

Just a heads up X264 is the new standard for TV Rips:

x264 for television sources
February 20, 2012, the SD x264 TV Release Standards aims to bring quality control back to the SD releases. x264 has become the most advanced video codec and compared to Xvid it is able to provide higher quality and compression at greater SD resolutions. It also allows better control and transparency over encoding settings. With CRF it can be ensured that a diverse array of material will get the most appropriate bitrate and not arbitrary fixed file sizes. The video container must be MP4. This ruleset is also applicable for sport releases. Thirteen groups signed the document.

Email a few screenshots of your filter list and the preview to [email protected]
There's probably something obvious that you missed.

Thanks for the info. So x264 is the better bit rate then the normal HDTV releases.

Well now this going to be another Challenge since FQM & 2HD does not release there releases in x264 as far as i have seen (Could be mistaken)

Thanks

Vodka2,

If you dont want 720P you just have to reject it.

Try this -
0 Rejects first ---------- 0 Reject - 720P (this will remove all 720p from the RSS feed)
----------------------- 1 Reject - 1080P (this will remove all 1080p from the RSS feed)
2 Requires next -------- 2 Requires - My.TV.Show.Or.Movie.Name (this will limit your feed to the show you want)
----------------------- 3 Requires - S14 (this will limit you to a Season)
4 Accepted last -------- 4 Accept - * (this allows everything that is left)


This was just an example

If this still doesn't do the trick you could always try writing it in Regular Expression (regex) just remember to put ( re: ) in front of your expression so Sabnzbd knows your writing it in (regex).

Hope it helps

I was just going to post about this and see someone else had already.

Is there anything that could be added (specific to category tv shows) that checks for duplicated showname.SxxExx.ignorerest?

Also if the episode descriptor is 501 or 5x01 type format? Maybe in logic convert them to S05E01 format when checking for duplicated - or would that be too hard?

If you want more sophistication, use SickBeard as a front-end.
We do have some plans for improvement, but not to the level of SickBeard.

Ok i have tried to get it to stop but it is still dling.

I have tired the following.

0 Reject x264
0 Reject *x264*
0 Reject* *HDTV*x264*

So what is the next step to stop x264.

Thanks

Maybe
Requires: XVID
will achieve the same effect. Failing that, have you tried any other indexers? NZBIndex will let you set up a pretty comprehensive set of filters on the rss feed, including filtering for xvid or excluding x264.

Thanks fenlander

I will give it a try and report back.

SOLVED

So i tried what fenlander mentioned and it worked

0 Requires *XviD* Default Default Default

Thanks to all for the help on this.
