Netflix tag - "NF" - would this work properly?

I would love to use a tag to find/match releases from Netflix (for some shows). The tag for Amazon - “AMZN” is working perfectly, it seems (so far). But the netflix tag is only 2 letters, and seems not unique enough.

Basically, it would be really helpful to know, how exactly does Must contain in tags work:

  1. Does Sonarr parse the whole filename? Or just the part after the SxxExx (which would make way more sense, imho)? I mean parsing the whole filename is obviously silly. Who would want to match anything in episode title, anyway? The show title is already the main criteria for matching the file, which makes it totally pointless in Must contain.

  2. How does Must contain treat the added strings - as a full word or a partial? I mean, in this scenario, if I would use NF in the Must Contain - would Sonarr match it in something like READNFO, or would it actually treat it as a whole word and would match only NF with non-alphanumeric from both sides?

  3. Is Must Contain case sensitive?

  4. In conclusion, then - would adding a tag, with NF in Must contain work properly in Sonarr?

I would think, if Sonarr ignores everything before SxxExx, is not case sensitive and does not accept partial matches - it should work perfectly?

  1. It uses the whole release name when matching
  2. ReadNFO would match (partial matches are picked)
  3. It is not case-sensitive
  4. Sounds like it’s not perfect for what you’re looking for maybe, but it works properly for how it was designed.

I use the following and that works perfect


The reason why i got RARBG as ignore is because i dislike re-tagged files.
So you don’t need to use that option
