hi, i've been testing the new release with sabnzb+ 0.34 and ive come across a couple of problems. I cant seem to access the sab management screen or view any nfo files. I've attached my mediaportal log so you can see if anything is going wrong. Other than that everything seems to be working fine so far. I especially like the notification on completion of downloads. If there's anything i can do to help with testing let me know.

Thanks for all the hard work you've put into the plugin, in my opinion its one of the most useful

It looks like there's a problem trying to read your monitored directory from your SABnzbd config file. What do you have that directory set to in your SABnzbd configuration? There may be a bug in the part that parses the directory format in that file that I haven't found.

And thanks, glad everything else is working.

I dont know if this is a problem in my skin. But I cant see the new sites.
binsearch.info etc in the listview when I try to select the site.

Also the status is missing even when update status is selected.

Can this be a skin issue?

[jburnette]

Could very definitely be a skin issue. What skin?

I found out that this was a sabnzb.ini corruption. Could that be if it got error reading the ini file it did not list all the items in myusenet.xml?


Before I fixed the ini corruption

As you can see it seems to read the ini file first then the myusenet.xml. So it did not read all the settings from the
xml as it stopped on the sabnzbd.ini. That is my theory

And while I was upgrading to sabnzbd 0.3.4 I saw (in my case) that the sabnzbd.ini was not in the root of the sab folder.

But has been moved to

\Documents and Settings\Usename\Local Settings\Application Data\sabnzbd\sabnzbd.ini

I moved my old ini to the root of the sab 0.3.4 folder and sab started to use that one in stead.
that should work for you 0.3.4 users out there.

And one more thing. After the sab upgrade the free space is calculated wrong. Just a head up for future relases

Happy download

Thanks for working that out. You are right in that sabnzbd.ini is read first and then myusenet.xml. They are both run from the same thread so yea, one error would stop it all (how about that wonderful error catching? ).

I guess that's what I get for not updating to the newest release. I'll add a warning to the first post recommending users stay with the last version of SABnzbd until I can fix these problems.

When you are only the one person working on something like this you cant see all the possible installations of sab... etc. This plugin has been very stable and very very useful.

And after this release just more useful as more and more sites comes in.

Thanks for all the work for all of us

As promised, here is a recompiled version of the TV-Series plugin (compiled from version 2.0 sources) that will send download requests to My Usenet. I haven't really tested this a lot, but it's pretty simplistic and doesn't require any kind of configuration.

To use it - you highlight a specific episode, bring up the context menu, choose download, and then choose the first option. It will then send the series name, season number, and episode number to My Usenet which will then format it (either 1x01 or S01E01, depending on what your default site's naming convention is) and execute the search using your default site.

By default when you choose Download the first option will be Load via NewsLeecher (or whatever your translated string is). You can change that by opening up your language file in Mediaportal/language/MP-TVSeries/ and changing this string:

<string Field="Load_via_NewsLeecher" Original="Load via NewsLeecher">Load via NewsLeecher</string>

To something like:

<string Field="Load_via_NewsLeecher" Original="Load via NewsLeecher">Download with My Usenet</string>

No other modifications were done to the TV-Series source so everything should work fine if you just overwrite your current copy. Let me know if you have any problems/suggestions.

I'm still trying to get this to work. SABnzbd+ 0.3.3 works just fine when I download manually. However, I get an odd error in my logs when trying to use my usenet.

I just wanted to say thanks! I love this plugin and its been working great for the past 3 months on my XP box.
I just updated my HTPC with vista and can not get the latest version working. I can search Newzbin fine but there no downloaded .nbz fine even after saying its been saved.

Config for using Newzbin (V3 and "NB V3 (attrs in table)") and Newsbin Pro 5.40RC2

Im not sure where I'm going wrong here. Attached is my Media Portal log. Any help would be great.
