[Feature Request] Hide broadcasts with certain keywords #14

Closed phillipwei closed 5 years ago

phillipwei commented 5 years ago

Certain channels I follow will broadcast a rerun but put the word "RERUN" in their title, without actually having it tagged/listed as such. I would love to be able to filter these out.

Having this be a wildcard expression/regex would be a more generalized solution.

By the way, I am a developer and very happy to make the change and issue a PR -- however, I don't see a contribution guide in this repo so don't want to misstep or cause you any problems. I know many solo maintainers prefer to do the coding themselves, but I'm just as happy to write the code. Let me know what you prefer.

Sure, you can work on it and make a PR. I'll check it and adjust it, if necessary. Contribution guidelines seem a bit overkill for this small project.

Having this be a wildcard expression/regex would be a more generalized solution.

If you are talking about a general regex filter to hide any channel that matches: hell no. Many users are already confused by how the whole thing works. Having some sort of "advanced settings" would kill the rest of the intended simplicity.

But I guess you meant a regex to catch stream re-runs like \bre[^a-z]?run, that's fine of course.

Closed as of now. There doesn't seem to be a big interest anymore and this feature would just make the settings area even more cluttered.
