SABnzbd Forums

I weekly download podcast episodes.
These releases are titled like
podcast file week #22
podcast file week #23
podcast file week #24

Now SABnzbd always thinks that the new file for the current week has already been downloaded and must be a duplicate.
That's why I have to manually click on the paused download every time.

How can I exclude certain words such as "podcast file" or "week #" from beeing recognised as duplicates?

You can't. But you could have a special category for it that has its priority set to Force, which should ignore duplicate detection. You could use a pre queue script to assign that category based on your keywords, or use the Indexer Tags feature of the Categories page to assign the category automatically.

Thanks for your ideas @safihre
I need to take a closer look at how I can solve this.

That works fine, thank you @safihre

As soon as you detect the NZB file name part "podcast file week #" in a pre-queue script you can automatically assign a category like "always_dl_file" to every podcast download.
Then you add a new category "always_dl_file" in SABnzbd with the mentioned priority "Force".

This combination ignores the duplicate detection for this specifc category.

Great
