Feature Request: Filter returns to only PreDB.me matches #136

Open stillaftermath opened 9 years ago

stillaftermath commented 9 years ago

This seems like a simple and obvious method to help dramatically cut down on garbage grabs from CP, NZBDrone, etc from people who post without proper tagging (e.g, foreign audio without the language tag and such.) What I'd like is the option, if PreDB.me matching is enabled, to only return results with a proper scene match. Since NZBMegasearch already does the lookup, and tags those results with a match, it seems this should be a trivial thing (and perhaps it's already there somehow, and I'm overlooking it?)

well, I can do it but CP and drone have their filters. I have the feeling that it would be way too strict

Unfortunately, filtering on the CP side of things still results in a lot of garbage these days. I'm spending a lot more time deleting uploads that are tagged with things that pass my filters and lack anything that would cause them to be excepted, even though they're not actually that thing - e.g, "720p.h264" but it's actually a cam, in Russian. It's almost become the norm for these things (why, I have no idea, it doesn't accomplish anything except wasting everybody, including the uploader's, time) - I'd say almost half of my grabs are garbage, despite having filters that would explicitly rule them out had they actually been properly tagged.

There's far less of an issue on the NZBDrone side of things, for sure, but I can point that directly at an external indexer, set CP to point the NZBMegasearch, and manually take a look for anything that just won't grab so I can look for something to pull manually with good reviews, rather than burning up block allocations and disk space with garbage results.
