Sending download location to an application/http

[evidenceunseen]

I know you mentioned auto sorting rar's as a feature coming in 4.0, I was wondering if you'd be willing to have a button on the webserver (for instance a play button) that would send the file information to a predefined application or url (changed in the settings) as soon as the .rar is downloaded and decoded to an application like vlc or an http api for an application like xbmc's www.xbmc.org. I can give you some information on how the program should communicate them if anyone is interested.

Sending to xbmc would indeed be useful, however SABnzbd has no info on how, or if the file is shared. Maybe there would need to be a config section where you enter the path on your network to your complete folder.

Playing locally (local to the install of sab) would be easier.

This is something that can be looked into, but there are some other things that need more attention first.

Yah that's what I was refering to you could use a command like this:

[url=http://xbox_ip/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=PlayFile&parameter=smb:complete_n etwork_path_to_download_dir%n]http://xbox_ip/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=PlayFile&parameter=smb:complete_n etwork_path_to_download_dir%n[/url]


<--- %n=filename.avi
or

[url=http://xbox_ip/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=PlayFile&parameter=smb:complete_n etwork_path_to_download_dir%N]http://xbox_ip/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=PlayFile&parameter=smb:complete_n etwork_path_to_download_dir%N[/url]

<--- %N=NZB_download_subdir/filename.avi (if you download to nzb subdir)

This can be done with a post processing script, can't it?

The idea here is to start the file mid download as a stream. I'm a bit apprehensive about streaming stuff on newsgroups, as unless there is some mid download par checking and repairing (which as far as I am aware is not possible) then you are bound to run into files with missing parts.

It is possible to do par2 checking mid download, and is done by other software altbinz, but I believe it just checks for errors.

It would be possible. But you cannot do repair unless you first get enough par2 files.
(par2 files are downloaded as late as possible).

Anyway, it would take a serious redesign. So: long term item.
