SABnzbd Forums

I quite often like to stream/watch movies off my NAS whilst downloading them.
VLC can play media directly out of multipart .rar files without extracting them first (even incomplete ones), but the default file permissions for temporary files is 600, meaning my HTPC has no permission to play them.

I'm currently periodically recursively updating all the permissions in the temp folder via a cron job, but it's not a particularly good way to solve the problem.

Would it be possible to make the file permissions used for temporary files be the same as those specified in the config section for 'Permissions for completed downloads'?

It's a problem that will be addressed in 0.7.0.
Currently SABnzbd considers all temporary files to be "private".
Obviously this makes less sense for the "temporary download folder",
at least for the actual downloaded files.
