Using nzbs.org categories in RSS downloads

[blaise]

Sounds very good.  I grabbed the other stuff yesterday via SVN to check it out.  Didn't really get to use it though.  I think using the categories is the best solution too.  I'll grab latest and give it a try.

On a side note, other than py2app, is there something else to get an app to build for MacOS?  I'm on 10.4 on a  PPC and was able to get it to run, but ended up with an error when packaging saying no such file exists.  Using Python 2.5.  I can certainly run from source, just thought it would be nice to build and run the binary.

Thanks for implementing so quickly!  Anxious to give it a try.

Just spotted this in SVN and came looking for the forum thread - very nice new feature! Will help me to sort things into categories more reliably.

Just 2 (hopefully small related requests):
Any chance of wildcards in the groups bit? So can I can say "tv-*" instead of "tv-xvid, tv-x264"
Can we have have "determined by group" or just "auto" as an option for category in the rss listing? That way, when it's set to Auto it will be determined by the group/category, but when it's set to a specific category that will take precedence.

Thanks!

Edit: Just some small additional justification for the second request - nzbs.org has regular TV shows (S00xE00) in the same category as daily shows that are numbered by date. If I add "tv-xvid" as a group to my tv category, sabnzbd will disregard that I have selected the "daily" category for a particular show and end up applying series sorting.

I have no idea, the team's OSX specialist does that.
As far as I know there aren't any real advantages to "compiling" it.
It's just more convenient for the average user.

I'll see if I can sneak in wild cards, but I will not do full regular expressions (would be overkill here).
With regards to the second question. If you specify a category for a filter, that category will override the nzbs.org category.
Setting "Default" for a filter will make it use the nzbs.org category.
At least that is how it should work.

Agreed, regex would be overkill.

Indeed it does. Must have made a mistake while testing. Cheers!

Could one of you post a brief rundown of how to make this categorization take place?  I've got sabnzbd successfully grabbing RSS content from nzbs.org, but can't get it the categories to kick in.  I'm simply looking to do the usual "stick movies in a movies folder, tv in a tv folder, apps in an apps folder" action.

Thanks!

This is not in 0.5.0 or 0.5.1.
It will be a lot later in 0.6.0.
