TV & Movies

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.


FieldDescriptionExamples
Movies/ShowsComma separated list of media names to match.e.g. That?Movie, *the*
YearsComma separated list of acceptable year ranges in the string.e.g. 2019,2020-2022
SeasonsComma separated list of acceptable TV show seasons in the string.e.g. 1,3-6
EpisodesComma separated list of acceptable TV show episodes in the string.e.g. 1,2,10-20
MonthsComma separated list of acceptable months, for daily shows.e.g. 4,2-9
DaysComma separated list of acceptable days, for daily shows.e.g. 1,15-30
info

Months and Days apply to daily shows, where releases are named with a full date (like 2026 07 12) instead of a season and episode. They use the same comma/range syntax as Years.

info

The Movies/Shows field operates on the parsed media title. This means it is guaranteed not contain dots and underscores, often found in release strings. However, it's still better to err on the safer side and use the ? wildcard character instead.

Smart Episode

When Smart Episode is enabled, the filter will not match episodes older than the last one it matched. Each incoming episode is compared against the newest release this filter has already pushed and approved for the same show: it only matches if its season and episode (or year, month and day for daily shows) is newer.

This is useful to avoid grabbing older episodes when you start following a show mid-season, or when an indexer announces older content again.

info

Repacks and propers of an episode you already grabbed are still allowed through: an incoming repack is only blocked by a newer approved repack from the same release group, and an incoming proper only by a newer approved proper. Releases without season/episode or date information always pass the check.
