How to exclude mp4 files

Is there a way to let Sonarr exclude all *.mp4 files when searching for series?

EIther add MP4 to the ignore words under Settings → Indexer → Ignore words (dvanced settings must be shown), or play with your minimum size for a quality under Settings → Quality

.mp4 typically comes in SDTV/DVD (replacing AVI), since .mp4 isn’t likely in the title you will need to add a restriction to exclude x264 and if you also want HD releases for other series apply to restriction to specific series by tagging the release restriction and the series.

@Mirx_NL: I found the ignore words settings under Indexer. But it will only work if mp4 is in the title. And you have to add the restriction tag name to all your series. I have more than 250 series. I see no way to add a tag to all my series at once. This will be a hell of a job. I was looking for a better way.

For future reference, If you leave the tag empty, it will apply to all.

Markus gave some suggestions for SD.
If you want to knock out MP4 for f.e. WEB-DL, you can set a minimal size as MP4 is usually smaller due to better encoding or only 2 channel audio.

I did play with minimal file size. Gives me different results.

Did not know leaving the tag name empty will result in a rule for all series. Will try that. Thanx.
