Filter Categories by length?
« on: April 05, 2024, 08:03:55 pm »
Just wondering if anyone knows of a method to create a categories filter that filters for length of the video?
Say if the video is greater than 65 minutes put it into X Folder.
Thanks for your time

There are better ways to sort pr0n from regular videos :)

Seriously, by the time you can get to video length, every function performed by category has been been done. What will be used to get video length?

What are these better ways, and where can I find them? ;)

Maybe I am misunderstanding categories in the GUI but right now I am just trying to differentiate movies from tv shows, and the only thing that I can see as being different is the length of the video.

I would really like to know your understanding of categories. Maybe it will help me improve it.

Currently, you could create one category for Series with download/unrar folders/settings and another category for Movies. Then, before adding nzb choose category. Or if you add under keywords for Series category following - @^.*\.S\d\dE\d\d\..*$, series nzbs will most likely auto set Series category. For explanaition of each column read hint for it by moving mouse over each column header.

Your explanation is pretty much my understanding then.
I am not fluent in regex so I could be making some mistakes here.
I have 3 total catagories for tvshows set up, 1 that seems to work for most and 2 running test scripts to see if it grabs the shows and puts them in a folder for each of the tests.
test1 uses @"^.*S\d\dE\d\d" in the key words
test2 uses (.*)\.S(\d+)E(\d+)\.(.*)
and the main one that seems to work tvshows using @[sS]\d+[xX\-\.]?[eE]\d+
The two test keywords do not seem to work as nothing ever gets sent to those folders.
The problem is the main one will also grab some movies , and will miss some of the tvshows.
As for the movies I have 3 test keywords regex and one main filter. the tests: @\(tt[0-9]+\)  ; ^(.*?)\W(?:(\d{4})(?:\W(\d+p)?)|(\d+p)(?:\W(\d{4}))?)\b ; and (^[^\[]+)(?= \[) do not seem to do anything, as nothing ever shows up in those folders. I am able to use variations of "bluray" to grab a bunch of them but nothing that works consistently.
So I am trying to find some key words or regex that will grab the movies as well.
Music is a similar situation where I am able to get some of them marked but not all.... so if there are any filters that can be used more efficiently I would be happy to see them as well.
Thanks for your time.

What is the source of NZBs? How do you import them into altbinz?

Two ways. automatic import from an NZB folder of NZBs usually created by forte agent,
or through an RSS feed either automatic through the RSS filters or by manual import while going through the feeds.

OK. How about this ...
I noticed that the rss feed has in the description Category:Movies Bluray or what ever is corresponding to the feed it is in. (TV Anime etc) Is  there any way to create a download category/filter based on that?
Thanks

You're looking at the problem the wrong way. Instead of pooling from RSS feed that has all categories mixed, create multiple separate RSS feed with single category.

I am really missing something here.
If I have an RSS feed for Movies UHD where all the items in that feed are movies how would I get anything that I create an NZB from that RSS feed to be downloaded to a specific folder and to be unrared to another folder. If this is possible what step am I missing, or where is there a wiki to show me the steps to do this?
Any way for someone to show me what the download category for say Movies UHD RSS feed would look like to get it to download to c:\New and unrar it to folder D:\Movies UHD automatically?

Went there, did that, no mention of download categories in that help file.
Try it a different way. Is there any way to set a default Download Categories to each individual RSS feed?
So that while I am in that feed every NZB I create while in that feed will use that Download Categories and when I move to a different feed it will change to the Download category for the next feed?

No.

I still do not understand if you're adding them to queue manually or auto. If manually, why is it so hard to define categories and then select appropriate cat when presented with dialog where you enter name/download folder/unrar/folder
If it's auto then rss filters..

I am doing all three methods of importing nzbs. RSS using filters, RSS using manual selection, and external nzbs.
Choosing cat within the naming box - I guess that's what I am missing then. How do I select category from that window?
And how do I choose category when I am manually entering multi items at once, as that window does not appear?

You can't select category for multiple items, but I think it goes through category list and regex
