Title: cant get RSS filter working
Post by: erik070 on October 14, 2007, 02:33:27 pm

I'm new to Alt Binz, a found out that it has a great RSS autodownload function.

I followed a couple of guides to setup my filters, and it seems kinda simpel.

Before I go and make a whole list of filters I wanted to test it. So a choose the rss of binsearch. Refreshed it, and looked up a name that was common in the feed. For the test I've chosen Airwolf, simpel name no spaces etc.

my filter:

Airwolf* | A

End of filter. Couldn't be simpler right?
The strange thing is, it didnt work.

I've hid the filter menu, pushed clear and the pushed the timer button. Waited for 15 minutes (timer was set for 10). But nothing came in my download queu.
The RSS screen show a list of files (including 3 with the word Airwolf in it), and the are all marked with red. According to a tutorial i've read, the ones that passed through the filter supposed to be marked green.

Somehow the filter doesnt see the Airwolf files in the feed. Does anyone know whats going wrong?

my filter:

Airwolf* | A

That filter adds all Post starting with Airwolf to queue
edit it to:

*Airwolf* | A

that should work (adds all post with Airwolf in it to queue)

Files that match any of the filters will be displayed in green. Edit the filter press "clear", then "Timer" and it should work (takes ca 1min until it will be added to queue, see in your log tab)

Probably because you didn't read this:

Out of curiosity, what "couple of guides" did you read?  Links?  If they're any good, I'll add them to the stickied thread.

More likely that I just didn't write it very well. :)  Which reminds me, it really needs updating.  If you find anything useful elsewhere, be sure to let us know.

Hecks, if you update it, you might want to mention that you can use ? to match any single char.

You know how useful that can be  :wink:
