Getting RSS Feeds To Work with TV Sorting?

Post by mediajunkie »

Hello All,

I've been using SabNZB for a long time now and I love it... it really is an amazing application.

But, lately, I seem to be having problems that I wasn't having before. (Currently using Version 0.5.4 on Windows 7)

Problem 1: RSS Feeds Don't Seem To Download Anymore

I setup an RSS feed for "http://rss.nzbmatrix.com/rss.php?cat=tv".
Rule 0 is:
Type = Reject, Filter = DD5 , Category = Default, Processing = Default
Rule 1 is:
Type = Accept, Filter = Show*Name*S02*720p , Category = tv, Processing = Default


When I check the RSS Feed (or look under the TV category manually on nzbmatrix), I can see it listed. (And it was listed after I set everything up in SabNZB).

My RSS Checking Interval is 15 minutes.

Is there something I'm missing or should this be working?

Problem #2: Sorting Doesn't Seem To Work Anymore

I download a lot of shows and the automatic TV sorting was my favorite feature. But, now when I download NZB files from NZB Matrix, everything just goes in my downloads folder and does not sort.

Based on the suggestion by someone in this forum a while ago, I have the following on my Config > Categories screen:
Category = tv
Processing: Default
Priority: Default
Folder/Path: TV
NewzBin / Groups: TV*

On the Config > Sorting screen I have:
Enable TV Sorting = CHECKED
List of Categories = 'tv' is selected
Sort String: D:/Television/%sn/Season %s/%sn - S%0sE%0e - %en.%ext

Everything looks proper to me and yet it doesn't work. I'm not sure if it works when it downloads via an RSS match, due to problem #1 above.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance for any insight! It is GREATLY appreciated.  :D

Cheers.

There have been some reports of automatic feed reading stopping.
This is still under investigation.
The second part I cannot explain.
As long as nzbmatrix sends its category along with the NZB, it must work.

Thanks for the reply shypike.

At least I know it's not just me who is having the RSS problems. I guess I'll wait for an update.


I downloaded a couple shows right from NZBMatrix this morning, but even with my 'sorting' settings setup the way they are, it still just dumped all the shows in my default downloads folder.

Does it matter that I'm downloading things from the "TV: HD" category on NZBMatrix? The fact that I have "TV*" in the "NewsBin/Groups" column on the Config > Categories page, I think should include that, but maybe it doesn't?

If anyone has any other ideas (or can confirm if this is a bug on the nzbmatrix side of things) that'd be great.

As always, any and all help is appreciated.

There are several issues with categories, which have mostly been solved for the next release.

Any idea when the next release is coming out?

I would LOVE to get the RSS feeds (with nzbmatrix) and TV Sorting working again.  ;D

I download so much that doing it manually and then having to move files around is a pain.

There was a time last year when I thought SabNZB was the greatest application ever because it did everything flawlessly... and now, sadly, I cannot get many things to work.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

I will upgrade to 0.5.5 RC 1 later today and report back with my results as soon as I've done some testing.

Thanks.

So far on 0.5.5 RC 1 the "sorting" seems to be working a lot better, which is great.

I'm still having issues with the RSS Feeds.

I have this setup (for the wife!) on the Config > RSS page (hooked up to the nzbmatrix feed): Gossip*Girl*S04*720p

This was released last night, and I assume would have hit the RSS feed, but it never downloaded: Gossip Girl S04E07 720p HDTV x264 CTU

I think I have everything configured properly, so I'm not sure why it's not working.

Thoughts? Ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Here's an update on my progress with 0.5.5 RC 1...

TV Sorting still appears to be working! This is one of my favorite features so it's nice to not have to cut/paste out of my 'complete' folder anymore.

RSS feeds are kind of working.

When I click "Preview", I can see that it is matching certain programs that I have told it to look for. But, it is not actually downloading them.
I have to click the "Download" link in order for it to start downloading.

Is this by design where I have to 'download' it manually the first time to kind of ensure that I setup the filters properly and it doesn't just download everything?

Suppose you have  feed with a large content (long history).
Wouldn't you like to decide whether you want all backlog downloaded?
So yes, it's by design.

BTW: we've overhauled the RSS UI for 0.6.0, taking away most annoyances (I hope :) )
