My Usenet (2 Viewers)

[bloasfist]

Hi all. First i wanna say that the idea of having usenet within mp is just great! However, i've got a slight problem.
I am trying to get this plugin working using MP 0.2.3.0 and SABnzbd+ 0.3.0, but when i try to save a .nzb using the plugin i get the 'error downloading nzb' message (as Clobber does 2 and 3 posts back).
SABnzbd+ itself works just fine, when i manually download a nzb file into the monitored directory, it downloads it just fine...

In my error.log i see the following:

2008-01-16 21:05:37.296875 [ERROR][MPMain]: No translation found for id 106619

It looks like i forgot to give 'path' a value. But where do i do that?

eloo, good to hear it's working with that new version.

One of the developers on SAB+ contacted me to let me know about the new API they've implemented. It allows us to send commands and receive status updates without having to parse the HTML - meaning that the theme will no longer matter and small changes to the default theme won't break the plugin. Definitely good news there.

clobber & bloasfist, it looks like your problems are coming from actually reading the destination directory from your sabnzb config file. Make sure that you kept the same format that is already by default used meaning that, for example, if your nzb_blackhole directory was located in a folder named usenet you would enter c:/usenet/nzb_blackhole/ instead of c:\usenet\nzb_blackhole\. I think that might fix your problems. Let me know.

I'll put a check in the next version that will automatically switch those slashes to prevent that problem in the future.

Eloo - can you tell me your installation directory (or where you run it from) and the sabnzbd paths you have configured? If I run/install in C:\Program Files and try to download NZBs and unrar onto my D: drive, it does not work. The release notes say something about supporting regular Windows paths with "\" but I can't get it to work.

 

[clobber]

jburnette - I had tried both forward and backwards slashes to no avail. I just can't get it to work with sabnzbd. Hmm......

 

[lightman]

maybe its possible to get in touch with the developers of ninan
and than make the my usenet plugin compatible with ninan

check the URL: http://www.ninan.org

It looks like Ninan uses an HTML interface like SAB. I'll see about adding support for it.

 

[lightman]

That would be greate!!!

 

[jburnette]

Does anyone still use the regular SABnzbd, not SABnzbdplus? If so, do you have any reason to still use it other than you just haven't upgraded? I'm going to remove support for the old version if no one is still using it since plus has the new API.

 

[eloo]

Go ahead jburnette...

Any updates on this plugin? I'd be great to use binsearch from within media portal.
