Flood: Regex download rules

[karelvanhecke]

I can't get this to work.

.*Video.*1080p.*should in theory download all torrents from an RSS feed that contain both those patterns, correct?

[SanPilot]

Maybe the order is the issue? This regex will match only if Video and 1080p are both present _and_ in that order.

[randomnonsense]

The order is the issue.

It will only match names as such (in this order, first "Video", then "1080p":
Some.Show.Name.HDTV._Video_.Something.Here._1080p_.x264-FLOOD

and no other torrents.

It will _not_ match
Some.Show.Name.HDTV._1080p_.Something.Here._Video_.x264-FLOOD

Test your regex here http://regexr.com/

[SanPilot]

Try this: (Video|1080p)

This should match any title with either of those in any order.

[randomnonsense]

OP, please clarify what you want, matches including both or 'either or'.

@randomnonsense and @SanPilot are correct and deserve a _huge_ "thank you" for answering this! ❤️

I'm coming from ruTorrent and I've been trying for the last 3 hours to wrap my head around how the RSS works in Flood.

This is a regex example from ruTorrent:
/Name of Series.*(s|S)(2|02)(e|E)?[0-30]+.*(720p|1080p).*/i

It will match:
Name of Series
Season 2
Episode 0 to 30
720p or 1080p
It will be case-insensitive (/i)

So how is Flood doing it? Can I not use the RSS regex straight off from ruTorrent? Any help is greatly appreciated. ping @SanPilot @randomnonsense @jfurrow Thanks!

@enoch85 I think it is done this way https://github.com/jfurrow/flood/blob/03d394397443cea2b0a13b5cec663850450a75e7/server/services/feedService.js#L98-L108

[SanPilot]

This pattern should work:
Name of Series.*(s|S)(2|02)(e|E)?[0-30]+.*(720p|1080p).*

I believe it is case-insensitive by default.

[noraj]

@SanPilot is right, RegExp(rule.match, 'gi') g is for global and i for case insensitive.

Guys, you are awesome! Just changed my feeds.db to match your suggestions. Let's hope it works!

[enoch85]

Yup, it worked, just awesome!
