Nzbirc/v1/flags

From tiberious.org

Flags allows a user to filter reports based on their search requirements quickly and easily. It also allows Module:autotv and Module:autoquery to get the correct reports.

the flags are case insensitive, however they are based on the newzbin.com attributes and as such must exactly match the spelling used.

1 v1.4 (new) Flags
2 Order
3 v1.3 (old) Flags

v1.4 (new) Flags

As of version 1.4, a new flag system will be added, this will be mostly backwards compatible

the flag hr has been removed

[edit]

New Features

Flag Logic (simple & and | operators)
Flag types (source/video format/etc)
More flags (all on newzbin)

[edit]

Flag Logic

The new flag system allows very simple logic in the form of:

& (and) - combining two flags, such as 720p&x264 will look for a report with both 720p and x264 flags set
| (or) - either one of two flags, such as x264|xvid will look for a report with either x264 or xvid flags set
( ) (brackets) - combining a search for a flag in a bracket will seperate out the logic from the rest of the string, such as (x264|xvid)&720p will look for 720p and either x264 or xvid flags set

some examples:

1080p&x264 - 1080p and x264
blu-ray&1080p&x264 - blu-ray and 1080p and x264
(x264|xvid)&tv cap - (x264 or xvid) and tv cap

[edit]

Types

The flag system now supports types, such as source, video format etc. Types are defined as a set of letters with a ~ (tilda) preceding the flag.

For example:

s~dvd - means source: dvd
vf~x264 - means video format: x264
af~lossless - means audio format: lossless

the current list of types are as follows:

s - video source
vf - video format
af - audio format
vg - video genre
ag - audio genre
r - region
st - subtitle
l - language
m - media
a - anime
mi - music info
gg - game genre
c - console platform
cp - console platform
p - platform
b - book type
bg - book genre

Flag List

see: newzbin advanced search for a list of flags for each type

Special flags exist, such as:

any, normal - Matches any report (the default for autotv/autoquery)

[edit]

Order

The order of the flags generally denote their importance, from left to right

f:720p&x264,xvid

means that it will prefer 720p and x264 but will also look for xvid if the first fails, for autotv/autoquery the first flag will stay active and will still be searched for.

[note]: these are now defunct
