usenet-crawler integration?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Slinky:
thanks, i was having issues, and forgot about this, all sorted now, one of the issues i was having was i put the api key in and hit the save button... but that doesn't save the api key, you have to return/enter out of the api key box for it to submit it as a server property before you hit save..... doh!

Slinky:
Just a little update on this for anyone else reading/setting this up for usenet-crawler
When searching, it can be a bit tricky at times, do not put too much info in the main search criteria, for example lets say you want to search

My.TV.Show.2024.s01e02

This may return 1 or more results, or perhaps none, however, if you put this in the main criteria for example

My.TV.Show.2024

and then in the include exclude filter box ( next to the green + symbol in the options ribbon for the selected tab, or maybe red - symbol) put

s01e02


This could very well "find" more results than the initial search, and the same could be said for removing/moving the 2024 bit as well, although that could be down to the year not always being included in release titles

I do not know why this is the case, a quirk perhaps of the way usenet-crawler processes search requests using the api, who knows, but thought it was worth mentioning as i am using the filter method more and more lately with much improved results

Rdl:
Filter box is "local" thing. It has nothing to do with what is sent for search or what is received. It filters (prevents displaying) of existing returned search results.

Slinky:
ok, that kind of makes sense, so it must be a usenet-crawler thing then, here's what i'm experiencing,

First search is the full name and season/episode results (makes no difference with spaces or dots between the words)....




Second image is with removing the season/episode reference and putting them in the filter box and repressing the search button (doesn't matter if search is re-pressed prior to entering the filter details or not, it finds many more results and the filter then as you said strips away those that don't match)

Rdl:
Key thing is you didn't put SxxExx in search. I would say that something is wrong with usenet crawler search.
If you put SxxExx it returns far less results that it has in its DB. However, that is out of scope of altbinz.
