Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Some of my library is very old and not in the quality i would like. Where most of it was manually imported when i adopted Radarr. So additional filters to help filter out these old movies would be very helpful.

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding the following filters:

Filename: To be able to match filename with 'contains' and 'does not contain'. The motivation for this is that I include the release group in the filename and therefore would be able to match the movies that doesn't have a release group saved, since they are just marked as Radarr.
Video Codec: I prefer x265 encoding so filtering out only x264 releases would be very nice

Describe alternatives you've considered

Release Groups -> empty: Alternative to matching the filename for Radarr, just being able to select 'empty' in addition to the 'contains' and 'does not contain' would also solve the issue of selecting movies that doesn't have a release group saved.

Anything else?

Being able to use RegEx on the filename search would also be very helpful.

You did not. Please don't check a box simply because it's required

As stated in the several duplicates and related issues to this issue - custom filters are for movie properties not movie file properties due to eventual multi-edition/file support.

@bakerboy448 are Release Groups not a movie file property then? I think the option to filter out movies with no Release Group still applies here? Would i need to create a new issue or is this not something applicable?

There is no "Release Group" filter. It is "Release Groups" would be similar to the Size concept as it's an aggregate.

I.e. designed in mind for future file support with not a ton of future rework.

That would be a separate feature request - filter for no release group using Release Groups - to be done upstream at Sonarr.
