what caused this continuous unpacking loop he referred to then?

well.  If you have a single level directory structure and the name of the directory is the same as the name of the nzb you can do this REM root will be different for you set root=C:\mydownloads\linux REM paramater 3 is the nzb name set name=%3 REM remove quotes from the name set name=%name:"=% ...

pc or linux?  what exactly do you want the _ removed from?  filenames?  directories?

sounds like you might need to go into the "sorting" config page to set up sorting - it's not just categories, you need to tell it how you want it sorted too.

that doesn't mean it's not running in the background, if you ended your terminal session the job would continue. you should redirect standard out and standard error to a file so you can track what's going on.  you so this with - hb.py $1 $2 $3 $4 &> "/tmp/$2.log" & which will creat...

if you need the variables, just pass them

hb.py $* &

(I think $* works in linux, if not,

hb.py $1 $2 $3 $4 etc)

sory for the delay in responding.

in config/categories you can specify a script per category type and you can set a default script in config/switches

what operating system?


if windows, go to CMD and type the command you are giving to SAB.  Does it run?  If not, it won't run under SAB either.  I suspect you need to associate .py files with the python.exe

c:\documents and settings\user\local data\application data\sabnzbd folder contains your settings e.g. sabnzbd.ini

not well in my experience

wondering if it's worth bothering with in conjunction with sab?

seems it only compresses headers and I would imagine that's not a big %?

would like to hear your experiences...

it all depends on how good you are at programming ;) you could change the handbrake code to read the list of files to process from a file eg myvids.txt. your postproc job could simply check the existence of myvids.txt.  if it exists, add the filename to this file (echo $filename >> filestoprocess.tx...

if this is called hb.py then create  mypostproc.sh with the lines

#!/bin/sh
hb.py &

in it.

this should run hb.py in the background and sab will think the postprocessing is done

what OS?  all you need to do is spawn the process and not wait for it to finish before returning to SAB - sab will then think it's done. In linux you can do this by putting & on the end of the command that initiates your processing of the video. in windows you can use the "START" comma...

oh well, such is life.

thanks.
