Post processing on rars downloaded elsewhere

Post by heiney »

I was wondering if it is possible for sabnzbd to initiate its post processing on rar files that were downloaded using another news reader, like newsleecher.

i'm making the switch to sabnzbd after using newsleecher, and i have a lot of rars that need to be par checked/repaired and unrarred, and wanted to see if sabnzbd could somehow read the rar files and start processing them...so that i dont have to do it manually.

No, that's not possible.
Bulk extraction is possible with tools like this: http://lifehacker.com/5059400/extractno ... ction-tool
I have no suggestions for bulk-verification.

The alternative is to dump all files in one folder,
create an __admin__ folder with some fake GZ-compressed NZB file.
Move that into the "incomplete" folder.
Then you should see it as an orphan on the Status page.
I'm not completely sure about this solution...

thanks.

for anyone else interested:

looks like you can use external processes with that program, so it has the ability to run bulk verification.

just go to the external tab, and add in:

file type: par2

command: "c:\path\to\your\par2cmdline\executable" repair "{ArchivePath}"

now you can bulk add par2 files and click 'extract' and it will do par2 verification

after that's done, add in the rar files for bulk extraction.

it's two steps, but still useful.
