Music

A typical music filter checks the announced format, quality, media and release type; every field you set must match, and fields you leave empty are skipped:

Vantablack Choir - Hymns for Empty Rooms [2025] [FLAC / Lossless / Log / CD]announced in #announce · filter: Music FLACFORMATFLAC ✓QUALITYLossless ✓MEDIACD ✓MUSIC TYPEAlbum ✓Match ✓qBittorrent

Most fields can take a comma-separated list like value1, value2.

The comma-separated lists support wildcards, where * means zero or more characters and ? means exactly one character. An example would be: *this*,that?movie. In this case we would match any title containing this (or tHiS) or in the second case, any title that matches exactly like That Movie or tHaT MoViE or even THAT.MOVIE.

If no value is specified in a field, then that field will match any/all possible values. That means if nothing but Filter Name and Indexers is given, then the filter it will match all/any releases for the specified indexers.

Please note that all filters are case-insensitive, so write them however you desire. Another thing to note is that it is not possible to escape wildcard fields.

info

If you want to match a string partially, then remember to use the * around the before/after/around what you're looking for. If you want to match a string exactly, then try to avoid the use of the * wildcard character.

Record label matching is only supported by Redacted and Orpheus. When the announce does not include the record label, autobrr fetches it from the tracker API, which requires the indexer's API key to be configured in autobrr.
