Installation Questions; need help...

[guru1968]

hello
just installed python-source version of sabnzbd 0.4.11 on vista64, also installed the required prerequisites, now the questions:
- I cannot install the yenc module, don't have Visual Studio for compilation; is that a required module? if so, where can I get a windows binary?
- I do have downloaded unrar.exe and the multicore par2.exe, but sabnzbd doesn't find those, where do I specify the path to those programs?
- the precompiled cheetah namemapper.pyd doesn't work: "ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (initNameMapper)", where can I get a working one? [python2.5 and/or python2.6 win32]
- I disabled the api key (due to Cheetah 2.2.1): this does work for python2.5 but not for python2.6 - upon shutdown (python2.6), it hangs at saving the rss_data.sab

I cannot use the windows installer due to a bug in the profile handling, see the bug forum - so I have to use the python source
- which python version is recommended?

cheers


p.s.
I used hellanzb in the past - but due to hangup problems and no more support i was looking for an alternative...

as I already said: there's a little problem in the python sources which prevents it from working for me; I needed to fix that in the sources...
so: the standalone executable WILL NOT work for me, unless this patch is officially included and an updated executable distributed!

any chance to get answers for my other questions?


cheers

I think pair of dimes meant this http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sabnzb ... se_mirror=
create a bat wrapper and run it in sabnzbd folder

Code: Select all

sabnzbd.exe -f sabnzbd.ini

You can find a compiled copy of yEnc 0.3 for python 2.5 here: http://www.sabnzbd.org/switch/yenc/yenc.zip

Copy the 'win' folder from the zip release of 0.4.11 into your new sabnzbd source folder.

Just run without the namemapper for now, it is not required (if you have trouble installing Cheetah, you can simply rename one of the folders in the Cheetah download - I think it is 'bin' - as Cheetah and simply place that in C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\.)

Python 2.6 is not supported in 0.4.11 due to bugs in external dependancies. SABnzbd 0.5 will be better, however we are still waiting on a python 2.6 compatible version of yEnc.
