skip PW protected DLs (done, thx)

Post by sabnoob »

hi guys

1st i gotta say it´s an awesome tool you got there, props for making it even better ;)

i ´d like to request a feature that really goes on my nerves with my current version (0.3.4), maybe it´s already implemented and i just didn´t realise it? if so please give me a pointer in the right direction, thx

so what´s going on my nerves:
when i fill my DL qeue i sometimes (without knowing it) download a password protected release and my standard option is D+S (repair+unrar+delete+script)  unfortunately the pw is unknown to sab and instead of skipping this release/moving it repaired but not unrared to the finished folder it just tries to unrar it (without success of course)
that wouldn´t be a biggy since i can search for the pw and unrar manually later but every other DL that was downloaded after that pw protected DL waits in line and doesn´t finish, i have to kill the sab unrar process manually and then sab processes the rest of the qeue
it would be a huge help for me (and i guess i´m not the only one?) if some workaround could be implemented
a pw check and skip or if the rar process didn´t go on in x time then move on to the next DL...something like that

anyway thx for reading and thx in advance for the fix...or the pointer in the right direction if it´s already implemented

laterz

Depending on whether unrar gives any useful feedback about a password-protected file, we may be able to do something.
I'll check what's possible.
Cannot say I ever encountered a password protected download.
You must have a different taste  ;)

Its common in HD files you know those movies with 1080P or 720P. I see it a lot there.

wouldn't it be possible to add a remark when adding the NZB?
if(passwordProtectSelected){
skip}
else{
unrar(..);
}

There's a -p- option in unrar that prevents unrar asking for a password.
I'll add that and try to handle the output:
"Encrypted file:  CRC failed in file.rar (password incorrect ?)"

Something for RC1.

Turns out most of the password error handling was already in, only applied inconsistently.
Fixed for the next release.
I.e.: the History will tell you that the RAR's are encrypted, you will have to do unpacking yourself.

Turns out I got a password protected file last night too off the TVNzb RSS Feeds, seemed it was a rogue file. (Tv show: One Tree Hill)

But there wasn't really a way of knowing this was password protected before with the aim to aid spam
