Edit: I think we are talking about two different things but I still appreciate your help :D By running: api?mode=get_files&output=xml&value=SABnzbd_nzo_zt2syz I get something like ... <file> <status>active</status> <mb>98.27</mb> <age>31d</age> <bytes>103048697.00</bytes> <filename> Movie.pa...

Hi, I already today list the individual files, so that call is done (api?mode=get_files&output=xml&value=SABnzbd_nzo_zt2syz ). But I dont find any API info on how to move the file X.99r to the top of the job SABnzbd_nzo_zt2syz's content list and thus be downloaded before X.02r. Follow what I...

I'm back! Streaming of nzb's using XBMC has been working great for quite some time now. However there is one issue with .mkv's where XBMC wants to seek to the last rar file. Nothing of this is of course SAB's problem. I just want to download the first (done) and the last rar, then the rest. Is there...

Great, thanks for the clarification!

Implicating that the sorting doesn't happen in "streaming mode"? yes, If the sorting works properly, there isn't a real need to fiddle with the API, is there? No, but when looking at the code it looks like something like  "/nzb/SABnzbd_nzo_xxxxx/bulk_operation/?_dc=XXXX&session=X...

SABnzbd is already trying to sort it in a streaming-friendly order. Ignore the fact that the par2 files are at the front. As soon as the first (and smallest) vol.par file is in, the rest goes to the back of the queue. Got some news here. Apparently if you set the job to +download, nothing in the fi...

If the vol.xx+yy.par2 files are the exact same size (as they mostly seem to be) they all get downloaded first...
Maybe something to look into for next release as part of a "set streaming per job" feature...?

When looking at the queue again it still seems as if xxx.vol01+2.par2 placed on top of the nzb gets downloaded first. the xxx.par2 is almost last in the queue and doesnt move during download....

Ok, that was great news. Guess I'm just impatient when testing and got a slow connection, thats probably why it looked like all the pars where in the top. One  thing to fix less before release is always good!

I have working code for streaming movies using SAB. I I could promote the first rar to the top, the streaming could start earlier.... Another way I assume is rebuilding the nzb, but that is just messy, or skip downloading par files....

But I can do it in the we UI... any other way of doing this?

is it ?

yes, that is moving the whole queue item, not the individual content :D In this case I want to move id 2 to the top of the list to get it downloaded first.. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <files><file><status>active</status> <mb>0.78</mb> <age>1h</age> <bytes>813927.00</...

Hi, when running I get a nice formated output of all files being downloaded with a tag for files.
In the UI it's possible to promote one or several files to the top but what is the API for doing this?

Think I found a workaround for the individual job streaming option. The default setting for post processing is +delete and this will cause SABnzbd to proceed as usual. If running "api?mode=change_opts&value=SABnzbd_nzo_zt2syz&value2=0" the job will fail. Then running "api?mode...
