#            res_height     Source video resolution height, operators < and > allowed
#            res_width      Source video resolution width, operators < and > allowed
#            filesize_mb    Size of the source file (in megabytes), operators allowed
#            runtime        Source runtime in minutes, operators allowed
#            fps            Framerate of the source
#            path           Full path of the source file. Value can be a regular expression (ie. '.*/Television/.*').

# Rules are evaluated in order.  First matching rule wins so order wisely.
