API request, change order of contents in a queue item

Post by Usenet »

Just wanted to make a api request for what we discussed here . Basically and API for managing the sab_nzf items of a individual download just as they can be manipulated today in the web interface.
This would give external apps the same possibilities as the web interface.

I don't see the point.
Files are always sorted, even when in "download/streaming" mode.
In release 0.6.x the par2 files will be first, which is a bit unfortunate in this case.
In the coming release 0.7.x, only the small bla,par2 file will be downloaded first, the vol-pars will be at the end.
So, as far as I can see, there is no sorting issue for which an API call is needed.

I have two points.
First is to make it possible for external tools to manipulate files just as possible in the web interface (e.g. in a XBMC addon or a android app).
Second, in regards to streaming, especially XBMC has some issues with mkv's where both the first and last rar is needed to trick it to play. Thus putting last rar on the top is needed (and today being done by the "web api")
