XBMC SABnzbd+ Python Script

[EMKO]

Does anyone know how to get a custom rss feed that has an imdb link to use the imdb link just like the newzbin rss do? Im trying to get NZBS.ORG movie rss feed to get IMDB info and poster but i cant figure it out i tried to change

imdb_match = re.compile(r'More Info', re.I)

to

imdb_match = re.compile(r'', re.I

so that it would ignore the link name and just get the info from that but that didnt work

i also tried to get a way to block any movies with IMDB rating lower then 5 but i failed python is soo hard to understand

nvm i figured it out its working great .

Now since this feed has scene names instead of proper imdb movie name i was wondering if its possible to save the nzb and rename it to the imdb movie name and then send it off to sabnzbdplus. Can all the be done when i click on a movie in xbmc?

It's been working fine for me on my Windows system.  I just wish there was a way to check the languages.  I keep downloading foreign speaking movies.

Are anybody using this with Plex? I have downloaded sabnzbd 0.4.11 and this plugin version 1.5.2. I have put it in my plugins folder according to the instructions. It appears under "video plugins" in the "Watch your Videoes" menu. But when I try to select the sabnzbd plugin, nothing happens. I loading box of some kind appears for a split second, but then nothing. Can't find anything in the logs either.

BTW: Would love a newzbin invitation!

/Feature Request/

Would it be possible to Pause/Resume SabNZBd with this script?

That would be very handy, because downloading with Sab and watching HD streams on the same time is not a big deal, but when Sab is going into RAR/PAR mode it maxes my CPU so being able to pause it untill im done watching movies would be a very welcome feature.

Anyway: great plugin!

Just use the "Pause Downloading During Post-Processing" option in config>switches.

That's not exactly what I mean. I'm hoping to find a way to manually pause SAB from XBMC if necessary for whatever reason.

Hi,
I like the plugin thus far... however I am having a major problem ...

Everything works (adding nzbs) but I cannot view my queue... When I press enter nothing happens... tried disabling the api-key and disabling username/password... Does this have anything to do with the version of sab ? (v.0.5.0 alpha5)
I tried version 1.52 and a few older versions. none work.. \ I'm running the latest svn version of xbmc (compiled 19-07-2009) and also r21018 (compiled jun 10). Running on vista 32bit

So simptoms are:

press enter once, nothing happens
press enter twice in rapid succesion = crash xbmc

any help would be appreasiated...

UPDATE:

Somebody in the live-chat was kindly enough to invorm me of the fact that this probably doesn't work because of the changes in sab v5 as opposed to v4. Is there any plan of the developer to make his script compatible? have you got an ETA?


p.s. If anybody can arrange a newsbin account that would be nice also

Greetings

@Tijlbert: The spec was change on the api on one of the alpha's recently, it will be fixed in the next alpha/beta.

It seems there has been a newzbin change to require authentication on RSS feeds, so I have added an untested version with a fix if anyone would like to try it SABnzbd-XBMC-Plugin-1.5.3.zip. It requires you enter your newzbin user+pass in the plugin settings. Any custom added feeds that contain fauth in the url should continue to function fine.

I'm having the exact same problem. Took the advice from another thread and modded the Newzbin links in the settings.py file to change "http://newzbin.com/..." to "http://NBINUSER:NBINPASS@newzbin.com/..." and it's working, though with a 3-second pause when I click on any Newzbin link.

EDIT: To clarify, I've done the above edit of the settings.py file with version 1.5 and abandoned trying 1.5.3 as it gave me the same error as ht2k051.

i added my username and password in the format shown below to 1.5a and i can now get the program to launch but if i try and search newzbin it returns no results...any ideas??
