Tuning cheat sheet
Signals, default points
| Reason to remove | Movie | TV |
|---|---|---|
| Gone unwatched | 70 | 60 |
| Few watchers | 20 | 15 |
| Old season | not used | 15 |
| Low rating | 10 | 10 |
| Size on disk | off | off |
Points must total 100 or Save is blocked. Never weight size: it aims at your biggest, most-loved files.
Protections, all on by default
| Protection | Default |
|---|---|
| Give every title time to be rewatched | 3 years (min 5 days) |
| Keep what your users actually watch | 3 people, last year |
| Keep well-rated titles | IMDb 7.5, 1,000 votes |
| Spare titles you've tagged | reaper-keep |
| Honor protected lists | IMDb Top 250 |
| Never touch something playing right now | On |
| Stop if the unwatched time can't be read | On |
Pace and limits, defaults
| Limit | Default |
|---|---|
| Per run | 10 titles / 500 GB |
| Per 30 days (rolling) | 100 titles / 2 TB |
| Grace period | 14 days (min 7) |
| Unknown-size items | 0 (held back) |
Caps stop the whole run when crossed. They never remove just the part that fits. Leave "Limit how much each run removes" on: switching it off drops both rows above. Unknown-size items are still held back, and the countdown still runs.
Habits that keep you safe
- To remove more, lower the line. Don't switch off a protection.
- Pace, grace, and Leaving Soon first. Arm deletion last.
- Keep a vote floor on ratings. A high score from few votes is noise.
- Never weight size.
