Force unpack tar files

Post by xtrips »

Hello,
I just noticed that Sabnzbd automatically decompresses a zip file after it has been reconstructed (par, rar etc...).
That's great. How can I configure Sabnzbd to do the same when the downloaded file is of another kind such as tar?

Currently you can't. But since unrar can open these things, it would be possible to implement it.
Maybe you can create a feature-request at https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/issues ?
