Hi silhouette.
I have attached the latest version 1.2 (March 2017) that dealt with an issue with NZBGeek.
I hope you'll be able to workaround the IMDb RSS shutdown and make this script great again :)

I am trying to make sense of the script.

In spite of googling, there is one line that I cannot make sense of:

save_rssfeed(rssfeed_file if not out_file else out_file, filtered_feed)

I realize that it saves the feed but I cannot follow the logic. filtered_feed must be passed to NzbGet. What is the purpose of rssfeed_file and out_file.

Can you please explain the entire logic and purpose of this line?

It must be for development purposes.

Normally during development scripts are executed from terminal, for that all environment variables required by script must be set in terminal prior to executing (they are normally set by nzbget when executed from nzbget).

There is an extra variable NZBPO_FEEDOUTFILE which can be set to tell the script to save changed feed into a different file instead of overwriting the input file. That makes development easier since you can execute the script without need to restore the original input file every time.

Thanks, I think that I get it now.

If out_file exists, save filtered_feed to out_file, else save filtered_feed to rssfeed_file, which is the file that NzbGet will read.

Is that correct?

If variable "out_file" is convertible to "true" which in this case happens when environment variable "NZBPO_FEEDOUTFILE" is set to non-empty string.

Would it possible to run the script before the NzbGet filters are applied. It would be fantastic if there was an option to modify a feed before the filter in NzbGet is applied.

I.e. the script would modify the feed, so that NzbGet can identify the items from the watchlist(s), but also fetch other items from the same feed. This would enable assigning different categories to items from different lists-

It would also allow re-formatting of non-newznab feeds to be compatible with NzbGets automated duplicate handling.

That's how it works and the sole purpose of feed scripts.

Thanks, Just tried to modify the title and I can see that the filter is working.

I am obviously just doing something wrong since I don't get a match on the metadata.

got it, I added a custom item, with a non-standard name. that doesn't appear to be supported. When I put the information into 'description', it works as expected.
