However, there are a few limitations to note. The Smart Episode Filter may not handle "01" format without a season number, which might require a custom filter. Additionally, full-season packs may bypass the filter, as they don't contain individual episode identifiers. For seasonal anime or special episode formats, you may need to combine this with other filtering methods.

Once configured, close the RSS Downloader window. qBittorrent will automatically parse your feed every few minutes, compare new entries against your active rules, and instantly add matching items to your transfer queue. Troubleshooting Common RSS Issues

Let’s get to the core action. Follow these steps meticulously.

Before diving into the setup, it's helpful to understand what you're working with. The RSS system in qBittorrent comprises two main subsystems: feed management, which handles adding, updating, and storing RSS/Atom feeds, and the rule-based auto-downloader, which applies advanced filtering to determine which torrents to download automatically. This combination provides a powerful, fully automated downloading pipeline.

Use the box to block words like "720p" if you only want 1080p. Choose a Save path folder where the files will go. Click Save to activate your rule. To make sure your setup works perfectly, tell me: What types of files are you trying to download? tasks: tv-shows: rss: https://mysite

Regular expressions are the most powerful tool for fine-tuning your RSS rules. When you check the option in your rule, qBittorrent's matching engine switches from simple text search to a sophisticated expression parser.

For movies, you can use basic keywords. For example, set to 4K HDR x265 and "Must Not Contain" to CAM . By default, your rule will match any of the words in the Must Contain field (OR logic). If you need more complex combinations, you'll need to use Regular Expressions (Regex), which will be covered in the advanced section below.

But once you need filters like “download only x265 4K, not WEB-DL, from release group X, but only if filesize < 15GB,” you’ve outgrown qBittorrent’s RSS. At that point, pair qBittorrent with FlexGet or Sonarr for a bulletproof, set-it-and-forget-it media server.
