Lately I get a few cases where the par2 files are bad, but there is a SFV file.
Would it be possible to get a fallback option where sabnzbd tries to validate the files using sfv after the par2 files are deemed invalid?
SFV validation after invalid PAR2 files
Re: SFV validation after invalid PAR2 files
This is already done.
However, the chance that when the par2 verification fails while the SFV verification succeeds, is very very small.
The SFV verification was implemented to support posts without par2 files (these exist).
It was very easy to implement it aslo as a fall-back for failing par2 verifications, but its usefulness is doubtful.

Re: SFV validation after invalid PAR2 files
It is done? Did I read over this feature or did you mean it's coded and will be in the next version?
But yeah I understand there will be very few cases this will work, but still it will help me avoid manual handling in those cases.
Thank you!

If you enable SFV checks in Config->Switches, it will use method as a backup.
Re: SFV validation after invalid PAR2 files
Hm, I got SFV checks enabled. That works wonders if there are no PAR2 files at all.
But if I get empty/broken PAR2 files it just says: "Invalid par2 files, cannot verify or repair" and stops, no fallback method that I can see activated.
In this case the culprit was sanford.and.son.313.720p-dimension grabbed from nzb.su which did have a good SFV file but empty PAR2 files.

Re: SFV validation after invalid PAR2 files
Invalid par2 files might be an issue.
"Not enough block to repair" will trigger the SFV check.
I'll check.

basically #scnzb releases are being posted with 'invalid pars' when sab tries to d/l them.. it fails regardless if the pars is needed or not. using another downloader you see that they extract.. because the fact that it has invalid pars is only a warning not a roadblock. yes if the release needs those pars.. then it of course would fail to extract as well.

Re: SFV validation after invalid PAR2 files
You can always choose to disable the option "Process only verified jobs" in Config->Switches.
There are some side-effects of course.
SFV verification has been improved a bit in 0.7.19RC3.
