Delete after played

[X-static]

Hi, if I wish to delete an episode of a movie a few days after being played, there's no option for that, isn't it?
Will last_watched_threshold: 0 delete anything?

Thank you.

Hi! You're right, there is currently no option for that but I think this is a valid use case. Creating an issue (#48) to track it and I'll implement this soon!

Actually, wait.

last_watched_threshold: X - Prevents media watched in the last X days from being deleted. So this will fit your exact use case. Just set to let's say 4 days. This means that 4 days after you watched a certain movie, it will be elligible to be deleted (unless other rule filters it out)

Issue then becomes that this deletes both watched and unwatched media, and I guess you wanted to only delete stuff you watched already?

I guess the solution would be to add a watch_status filter maybe, so it would become:

libraries:
   - name: "Movies"
      action_mode: "delete"
      last_watched_threshold: 5 # Keep movies watched in the last 5 days
      watch_status: watched # only delete things watched already
      radarr: Radarr

Yes. That's it. I just want to delete automatically watched media.

BTW, side question, that radarr property is required? I mean, the delete will be actioned through the radarr/sonarr instance? I'm asking to understand if the media needs to be in both Plex and radarr/sonarr libraries.

[rfsbraz]

Yes it currently is. I need to delete items from radarr/sonarr to make sure they are not downloaded again automatically. In theory I can remove the radarr/sonarr counterpart, but that could mean deleting media you would have collected manually and that may be hard to recover

Beta watch_status support out, check it here #48 (comment)
