Feature request "Check RSS Now"

Post by DARKFiB3R »

First up... Awesome update, thank you :)

As for my request, I would love to see an "Check RSS Now" button added to the main download page.

I use the bookmark feature on NZBMatrix, and have my categories set up in SAB, so that the downloads get sent to the correct machine, drive, folder, but the 15 minute wait can be a pain in the butt, and navigating to the section where I can force the download, even more so. Especially if I have added a bunch of bookmarks from different categories.

Not only would this button save me a bit of time, and a whole bunch of clicks, it would also simplify things greatly for the missus :)

I don't know if that's really a good idea.
RSS feeds should never be abused.
The minimum RSS check time is forced to 15 minutes just so we don't inadvertently abuse the feeds.
Having a "check feeds now" button is half way to getting the feed's webmasters angry.
Right now, when you want to force it, you can, but it's not easy and that way you tend to avoid the trouble of having to find the button.
I don't know but I'd think twice before doing that.

That sounds like a great compromise, pair of dimes. :)

I'm not quite sure I understand your idea PoD.
Could you maybe give me an example?

I think pair of dimes means a button next to each feed on this page https://192.168.1.3:9090/sabnzbd/config/rss/

While we're on the subject of feeds, I take it there is no way to rename them?

But don't we have a "force download" button in there?
