1. In the folders section make sure to check the full path for existing path because at the moment it only scans the root folder making configuring a bit more difficult.
Let's say you have a folder named
Movies and inside it you have two folders one named
Oranges and the other
Apples , and only inside these two folders the movies . Now if you add only the folder
Movies in the
Movies Downloaded: section it will just ignore all the movies in the two sub-folders
Oranges and
Apples . Only when you separate add them to the path they will be included. This isn't a big deal but would make configuring more time consuming and "uglier" when you need to add 20 sub-folders rather than a single root one .
2. When a movie is found to match the generic rules but you have the section set as
Queued Releases for further user intervention , it would be better not to prematurely download the NZB .One of the reasons not to download them automatically is most sites have a limit of the number of downloads per day (nzbmatrix) which could lock your account for one day for downloading unneeded nzb's. The other reason even if the site doesn't have limits (nzbs.org) it would be nice to save as much bandwidth as possible for everyone.
So instead of automatically downloading the nzb's from the Queue section , downloaded only when needed
3. I would like some improvements in the history tab , namely adding two more buttons : one for directly banning a movie/release , and a second button for adding to Queue/Download if you've found a release that originally didn't match the rules but you still would like to view it.
Thanks for the hard work , and keep up the good job !
hi kiljaden, replies as follows:-
1. this isnt actually true, using your example:-
movies\oranges
movies\apples
if you specify the name "movies" as your root folder then it will check for any sub folders, so if a movie named "oranges" appeared and you had specified "movies" as your root folder then a match would be made, moviegrabber does NOT currently support folders that are deeper than one sub folder e.g. this would NOT match (assuming again you specified movies as your root folder):-
movies\fav_movies\oranges
one other thing to note is you can have multiple root folders and they can also exist on different drives, for e.g:-
c:\movies1\oranges
c:\movies1\apples
d:\movies2\pears
d:\movies2\bananas
as long as you specified the root folders as "c:\movies1,d:\movies2" (make note has to be comma seperated) then a match would be made for oranges, apples, pears, or bananas (man im getting hungry :-) )
IMPORTANT NOTE:- moviegrabber uses the imdb movie title to do the match, thus you must make sure all sub folder names EXACTLY match the imdb title name, either excluding the year in brackets if you have enable append year turned off, or with the year in brackets if you have it turned on.
2. i like your suggestion!, i will take a look into this, im keen to reduce the load on any external site so i will see if i can just create a link to the nzb as opposed to downloading it.
3. yep i have thought of some sort of blacklist/whitelist buttons, will add to list
glad your enjoying moviegrabber :-)
