FileBot

Trying to apply a filter so that torrents with a specific label use the age filter and all torrents with other labels ignore the filtering altogether but I can't seem to get it working.

filebot -list --q Firefly --filter "if (label == /test/) e < 5" --def ut_label=test
returns 4 episodes as expected

filebot -list --q Firefly --filter "if (label == /test/) e < 5" --def ut_label=other
won't return anything. I expected this to just ignore the filter.

I'm very limited in my understanding in these matters and would appreciate any help in getting this working the way I want it too, if possible.
Cheers

You'll want you filter to return true or false depending on your condition: This is true if and when (1) label not equals test, or (2) e < 5


As for why your original expression doesn't work, in this case, if label is not test, then the result is neither true nor false, which is considered false: It would work though, if your else-code were to return true:

I see! Thanks alot for the explanation!
I got it working!

Follow up question, right now, if there is no label it won't work. Any way to fix that?

In that case, this will do: Explanation: If label is undefined, the filter expression errors out, and that is also is interpreted as false. So we catch these errors and return true instead.

Now it's working perfectly. Thanks alot!
