Re-Download Failed RSS
Posted: November 15th, 2012, 5:52 pm
Hello, (search didn't reveal any features/requests similar to this, but if there is one, my apologies!)
Background:
I have, what I'll call an elaborate, RSS downloading setup, which I use to grab most of the items I'm looking for.
Positive Re-Enforcement:
I'd like to say it works beautifully. Thank you, developers, for creating such a system that works just as it should.
The Problem:
On occasion, 1 or 2 matched items a week, the RSS feed is checked before the post is actually complete. This leads to a failed download.
Solution:
New SABnzbd Feature - Automatically Re-Download Failed RSS Matched Items.
- Feature could be enabled as a check-box on the RSS page.
- Feature would have a user-definable re-check time delay, so SABnzbd would re-check the feed at a specified delay, and re-grab any failed RSS matched items. (If this is not possible, I'd suggest a hard-coded time of 30minutes)
Pre-Rebuttal To A "Just increase your RSS checking interval" Response:
I've tried it, and it still doesn't solve the problem, as the RSS feed could still be checked before the post is actually complete, things are not always posted on the same schedule.
Pre-Rebuttal To A "Change your RSS feed to only include completed posts" Response:
Problem with this, is that not all posts are always completed, perhaps a handful of articles didn't post properly, which leads to it not being included in the RSS feed.
