Can you do this: filter for content added in the past week?

Added by millercentral 3 months ago

Here is the issue I'm trying to solve: The information available for a TV show is often incomplete on TVDb immediately after it airs, but a few days later it get updated with more complete data. I'd like to automate the process of updating my shows with the latest info. To do this, I think I need two things:

  1. The ability to schedule a process job against a filtered set (done, the process profiles feature appears to support this well)
  2. The ability to filter against "Last n" days of the "Date Added" field. I don't see a way to do this with the filter system (all date fields are absolute), but I could be missing something.

Can this be done? If not, consider this another feature request. :)

Hey,

1. Yes, Process Profiles will accomplish that.
2. Unfortunately the filter editor does not support dynamic days "ie, Today or Last n Days etc", only static ones. This is not something that can be added at this time for the filter editor.

Take Care

That is unfortunate - if you manage to work on this in the future, put me down as a +1 for this feature.

I've been managing with a saved filter that I've called "Added this week", and I plan to just edit the date in the criteria to the current Monday each week.

I've just noticed the "Group By" functionality - Group By Date Added is perfect for my needs, makes it really easy to see what I've added to my collection recently.

So I don't need my "Added this week" filter any more.
