Last Viewed expression

I'm a little confused on the last viewed rule. How would I set up a rule to include only items not viewed in the last 365 days? Should I use before, after or in last?

To accomplish this, you'll need to utilize the 'custom_days' parameter. I acknowledge that this can be somewhat confusing. As of now, the best method I've come across to clarify this is in the existing documentation.

Here's an elaboration on the concept of 'custom_days':
The behavior of this parameter varies depending on the chosen action. When 'in_last' or 'in_next' is selected, it essentially means 'within the last (or next) x days.' In the case of 'before,' the value will be interpreted as the current date minus the days specified in custom days. For all other scenarios, the custom days will be added to the present date.

Consequently, you should utilize 'Plex - Last viewed BEFORE custom_days 365.' This will retrieve all items that were last viewed prior to (today - 365 days).

In regards to that, what if it brings back a value of "NULL" for Plex last viewed date. How would I tell the rule to add that to the collection if it's never been viewed in the last 365 days?

You could add an 'and' check before the 'last view date' one with 'Plex - Times viewed' bigger than 1.

I think I got it. I created two sections separated by OR. The first determines looks to see if it's been viewed 0 times AND was added by Radarr before 365 days. The next section looks to see if anyone has viewed it.
