SABnzbd Forums

Is there any way already to make SABnzbd follow the job priority when repairing/unpacking? For example, I have a job that I want to download urgently, I put it as "Force" priority and it gets shoot up the queue and gets downloaded immediately. But after the download and direct unpack, it will eventually be queued for post-processing and if something is the queue, it'll have to wait for other stuff to be processed before it gets the turn to be processed. I feel like this kinda break the point of having priority for downloading when eventually it'll have to queue to be processed.

I suggest that if a job is marked as High or Force priority, after the downloads, the processor should pause everything that it is doing and process the job with higher priority first.

What should happen if SABnzbd already has other highest (forced) priority items queued for post-processing?

Sorry for the late reply.

Can't it follow how the download queue now works? If there are multiple items with the highest priority, then it should process it according to the time added to the post-processing list. For example if it is processing 5 items, 1 - Force, 2 - Force, 3 - High Priority, 4- Normal, 5 - Normal, if a 6th item finishes downloading with Force priority, it should be 3rd in the post-processing list, and lower priority than Force should be pushed down to 4th and after.

It's an interesting idea, let me check this.
