Sonarr: Release Restrictions: Apply to tags/Do not apply to tags

[markus101]

Right now its not possible to set a global restriction and block a term, such as x265 and then in another restriction require x265and apply that to a specific tag. One thought that came to mind to get around that (without too much confusion and complication, I hope), would be to specify tags that the restriction applies to as well as tags the restriction doesn't apply to so you could apply it to all series (no tags) and tell it not to apply to a specific tag, say x265-allowed for example.

i think i requested something like this a while back, but then for notifications.

I think it's more relevant to specify the behavior if both required and restricted exists.

1) token is restricted in a tag.
2) token is required in a tag.
3) token is restricted in one tag. token is required in another tag. (required prevails)
4) token is restricted AND required n one tag. (restricted prevails)
5) token is restricted AND required n one tag. token is required in another tag. (restricted prevails)

Alternatively you could have a switch on a tag 'override' that overrides the global restrictions instead of being combined.

I feel like the intuitive way for this to work would be that blank-tag restrictions only apply to shows that have no tag. If a show has any tag, the blank-tag restriction no longer applies at all.

It's frequently tripped me up when someone tells me they can't do the blank-tag-restrict plus a nonblank-tag-require combo. Has never felt intuitive to me.

please add tag management first.. trying to hunt down what shows have tags/where they are used/etc.. is a huge pita. especially when you delete a tag

[smidley]

I agree with thezoggy. I had this issue not too long ago.

@thezoggy @smidley thats not what this topic is about though, lets keep it on topic. Tag management is definitely on the list, lets not devolve other issues though.

I think I could get behind this, I don't think defining behaviour in a complex way makes sense and I feel like you're initial suggestion was quite complex. Would it be on the restriction or somehow linked to the tag? Seems reasonable to have another option on the restriction that overrides untagged restrictions.

Tags could be used for a variety of reasons, it would be a pretty big side effect to want to use a tag for something else and have it drop your default restrictions/requirements.

I got the same problem than OP,

I had a restriction defined like this

but shows with tag "french" were never grabbed becaused logs said my release doesn't have vostfr fansub fastsub vost subfrench multi. I had to add a tags on my first restriction in order to have shows in french to be grabbed but I had to edit all my shows with first tag.

Tags should override no tags

With tag management and mass editing of tags in v3 I think we can avoid the complications of this, at least for the time being.
