Delete rule

[randyesperben]

Hello, I was looking for a cleaner for my movies and series and I came across this, it looks very interesting. I have it running in Docker, but I am unable to fully understand the rules.

What configuration should I set if I want:

A movie watched (at least 95%) in the last week, wait 2 weeks and delete it from Radarr and Overseer?

Many thanks in advance!

Hey, the rule itself sounds simple enough. However, when you wait 2 weeks before removal, the 'watched in the last week' requirement won't match anymore and the media item will be removed from the list after 1 week.

To get as close to your requirement, i'd do this:

Set the 'Take action after days*' parameter to '14'. and import this yaml rule (with the import button):

mediaType: MOVIES
rules:
  - "0":
      - firstValue: Plex.lastViewedAt
        action: IN_LAST
        customValue:
          type: custom_days
          value: "14"

Do you also want to remove it from Plex? If not, you'd have to set the 'Radarr Action' parameter to 'Unmonitor and keep files'. Otherwise you can just use 'Delete', that'll remove it from Plex, Radarr and Overseerr.

Hi! thanks for yout help!

I have configured the rule “Remove after 14 days”, and I see that the only movie I have downloaded (to test), appears with the title “Remove after 14 days” in Plex. why?

Many thanks!

That would be the Plex collection. Because you checked the 'Show on home' option in your rule settings, the collection's items will be shown on your home page. You can compare it with a 'Leaving soon' list on Netflix.

If you don't want it on your homepage, just uncheck the option.
However, you can't stop Maintainerr from creating the collection, since Maintainerr is built around Plex collections. But you can specify a manual hand made collection if you really wanted to.
