Ignore specific release group (whose name has a space)

Help & Support
#1

I’ve looked around the forums, and I’m guessing the answer is no, but the posts were several years old so maybe this has changed.

I want to ignore releases by “Anime Land”. I’ve added “AnimeLand” to the Must Not Contain field in indexer settings, but the releases sometimes get styled with the space. Is there a way to ignore their releases without using either “Anime” and/or “Land”?

Does sonarr just do a string search for that string and ignore any release with that text anywhere? OIr does it parse the release “tags” and search through those?

Thanks!

You can add Anime.Land to the restrictions.

#3

Thanks. Is it using the tag as a regex pattern? Or is that just a specific wildcard?

#4

I recall seeing it in another thread once, as a solution to the same problem.
It relies on the conversion of dots to spaces when comparing releases to restricted words. I think. I can’t find the discussion anymore…

If you want to use regex, you could use /Anime[. ]Land/ to cover both spaces and periods.

#6

Could I do /Anime[. ]?Land/ to cover “AnimeLand” too?

#7

Yeah, that’d work too.

#8

Awesome. Thanks!
