The Dangers Of Ill-Thought-Out filter_statements.

  • You are SOLEY RESPONSIBLE if you misconfigure your filter_statements and delete large portions of your library.

  • What you NEVER want to do is to set the condition_days: for a created filter_statement to a low value.

  • Doing this WILL delete MOST if not ALL of your library.


Never do this unless you are 1000% confident it is doing exactly what you expect:
  • Find movies created at least 0 days ago...

    • condition_days: 0
    • ...
  • Find episodes created at least 1 day ago...

    • condition_days: 1
    • ...
  • Find audio created at least 2 days ago...

    • condition_days: 2
    • ...
  • Find movies created at least 3 days ago...

    • condition_days: 3
    • ...

For created filter_statements, ALWAYS use a high value for condition_days:
