XBMC SABnzbd+ Python Script

[evidenceunseen]

I also noticed that the files that are downloaded using this plugin, are owned by root, not by the active user. This is not the case with files downloaded using the pc. Do you have any idea why this would be?

[switch]

Can't the "More info" links be accessed through the rss feed? for imdb urls. Would it be possible to parse the .nfo using the "NFO" url? parsing nfo files has been done before on xbmc.

Python scripts have no access to most xbmc features, so if I wanted to parse an imdb url or nfo file it would need to be redone from scratch in python. I'm not too keen in coding that, plus scraping the nfo directly from newzbin is probably against their TOS.

I also noticed that the files that are downloaded using this plugin, are owned by root, not by the active user. This is not the case with files downloaded using the pc. Do you have any idea why this would be?

Can you explain a bit more? It doesn't actually download any files, just sends the url/newzbin id to sabnzbd to download and add to the queue. Where are these files you see being downloaded as root?

I'll have to investigate more when I get home, I'm at work. But I just noticed that the items I had queued from the plugin didn't have the proper permissions when they were downloaded. Items that were queued using my browser on my laptop did not seem to have this issue. But I need to investigate it more, I didn't have time to when I noticed it.

This is AMAZING, thank you SO MUCH! 

I'm a massive PLEX and SAB fan, and bow the two come together! Awesome.

I'd like to request a feature if at all possible though - is there any way to get the movie/episode information working, and perhaps integrate Newzbin comments? It would be great if you could check out the info before downloading a file.

In any case, great job! Love it.

excellent job switch, works perfectly, i was actually gonna make something like this myself, but i browsed a little and found this one, i might take it and change it (never done python before so it's gonna be a learning project), my vision is that it should be possible to browse movies by viewing their covers and then be able to select them for download

I can in the future add the fetching of posters for movies for newzbin movies (already coded something that uses the api from themoviedb.org), however for large lists of movies this could mean a long time loading in order to download posters for 100 movies.

Getting plot data and such would mean changes to xbmc's code to allow python plugins to display the Library mode, and to also be able to set the plot. I may end up requesting this, however XBMC is currently in a feature freeze, so no point requesting yet.

New version!




IMDB and poster fetching will only work for newzbin feeds. Many thanks goes to Nuka1195 for his python IMDB scraper adapted from the xbmc scrapper regular expressions.

3) Enter your sabnzbd host+ip
4) If you want imdb info+posters enable them
5) If you want any extra RSS feeds, open settings.py and add any extra RSS feeds to the dictionary (note these will be replaced when upgrading versions, so make a copy)

Thank you so much!  About to install now!  YEAH!!!!!

[evidenceunseen]

Thank you very much for all your work switch it's really appreciated, but unfortuately it doesn't work properly for me on XBMC linux. Whenever I try to click on any of the feeds it crashes XBMC, and if I try to view the queue nothing happens. I entered all the settings, and even tried the default feeds and settings and it still crashed xbmc if I tried to select the feeds. I hope you can help me, thanks in advance.

Enable debug logging, and Email me a debug log to [email protected] of a clean startup, navigate to the plugin and try to open a feed

[evidenceunseen]

The file you sent me solved it. I also noticed that the only way I caould actually add files or browse my queue was to add the url, port,  username and password into the settings.py file like the old versions.

[evidenceunseen]

I also noticed that everything added with this script is categorized as -1, is there an additional setting I should change?

[switch]

No, I'm issuing a new release shortly that fixes this.

[evidenceunseen]

also, is the sorting designated by the script or the feed? I would like to sort by date added and it shows up sorting by name.

[switch]

The default sorting is 'None' which should be sorting it by date added, if you are using it on the xbox I'm not sure if it has this sort field yet.
