My Usenet

As I edited in my last message, I found the problem with the dirscan_dir field. When choosing for custom filename, it forgets to add an \ between the dirscan_dir folder and the filename.
BTW my dirscan_dir = D:\NZBDownload\NZB

I don't have experience with RSS feeds from Yabse, sorry. I just use their webinterface normally. The be more exact, I mostly use binsearch.info, but they seem to have a problem the past two days, since I can't connect to their website anymore.

OK, I'll work on the custom filename issue.

Take a look at the attached screenshot. Notice that ETA and downloading is very tight, and overlapping.

Maybe you could borrow some code from the Watchdog plugin? It postpones standby when a process is running.

Yeah, make it wakeup i a certain timeframe set in pluginsetup. Due to number 4 it will automatically sleep again.

Yeah, I would like a bit more info about the post, and perhaps a bit more condensed, makes it quicker to browse, perhaps file format too - says a great deal?

Btw, I noticed a few other things:

a) on my widescreen setup, the update radiobutton doesnt update the download info. If I exit and enter My Usenet again, its updated.
b) when searching for a post on Newzbin, and then clicking on it, doesnt add it to the que.

Guess thats all for now jburnette, keep it up!

Thanks for the screenshot. That gives me a good idea of what it actually looks like. I think the best way to solve that for right now would be for me to remove the date from the ETA and just keep the time. What do you think?

I'll definitely take a look at the watchdog plugin and try to use that as the basis for the powerscheduling. That should solve the standby with non-empty queue problem.

Newzbin results should be showing you the filetype, are you not seeing them? I've attached a screenshot below of how things *should* look. Let me know how yours differs. It could be a cookie problem with Newzbin. Their cookies are very odd. I'm changing that entire code to work better as I'm having some problems out of it.

As far as the update button goes, thats a toggle. It should toggle autoupdate either on or off. If you are getting updated results when you first enter the plugin then that tells me that it's connecting no problem. As long as the button is checked it should be updating those stats every x seconds (specified in plugin setup).

And as for the posts not being added to the queue, that's odd. Do you have a paid Newzbin account?

Thanks again for the feedback, it's appreciated!

I agree, time is sufficient.

Yeah, thats the way I understand it, as a toogle. Wonder why it isnt updating. hmmm..

Yup. Its only when I do a manually search for titles, not when entering feeds. They work.

I think I've figured out what the problem MAY be. When you get a chance, open up your nzbmatrix.xml file and check to see if the last node is <vip>. If it's not, add <vip>false</vip> before the </nzbmatrix> tag. (unless of course you are a vip member of nzbmatrix). It doesn't matter whether you plan to use nzbmatrix or not. I think what has happened is I added that field in the new release but told you that you didn't need to replace that file. The plugin is not able to read that node's element (since it doesn't exist) and halts. That's why you initially get your SAB values but the plugin never starts the timer to refresh them because it doesn't get that far. Please try that and let me know what happens.

Everyone should probably go ahead and do that if they are having problems with their stats not updating. In case anyone has problems:

<nzbmatrix>
  <username>username</username>
  <password>password</password>
  <uid>11111</uid>
  <pass>11111</pass>
  <vip>false</vip>
</nzbmatrix>

I have not tested this to see if it is what is causing your problems, but it's at least worth a shot. This is yet another reason for me to add better error-handling.

Also, if there are any requests for sites/features/grabbers to be added (other than binsearch.info which is planned) let me know. Keep in mind that not all grabbers provide access to the download status like alt.binz and SABnzbd do.

I have problems with nzbmatrix.

Search results shows nothing but if I use the feed then the nzb comes in queu
but with error and nothing happens. But it works if I download it manually. And some times the nzb comes multiple in to the queu.

[jburnette]

gizzard,

What error are you getting and what grabber are you using?

[gizzard]

Sorry about the low info.

I'm using SABnzbd. This is the error when trying to download using the plugin

2007-08-01 00:34:34,220::ERROR::[nzbstuff] Trying to fix somefile.nzb (will take some time)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "sabnzbd\nzbstuff.pyo", line 329, in __init__
File "<string>", line 86, in XML

Happens to every file I try. But works fine if I do it manually.

Perhaps something I did wrong don't know.

Also the searching nzbmatrix returns nothing unless I use the feed.

[jburnette]

gizzard,

OK, the search not working is a cookie issue. Did you enter your username/password in NZBMatrix's config and click the "Get Cookies" button? If not, try that and let me know if it fixes your search problem. That COULD also explain the error with importing the nzb file. I'm not really sure but I'll take a look later on today. Try out the cookie thing first though and let me know what happens.

Thanks.
