2. Are the nzbs being scheduled by MR getting the appropriate category?

This is something I've considered in the past, though I must admit I've never been thrilled with the idea of using a shortcut/symlink.  One solution that has been discussed would be to update MR to allow the user to put a series folder under multiple root directories.  Currently, MR generates a warning message if the same series is found under more than one root folder.  Changing this would allow you to have new (unwatched) episodes downloaded to one folder and allow you to move them to another once they've been watched.  Thoughts?

I dont know if this is new to 0.5.1.rc2 as this is first time in loong time i failed to open archive but why is sab kicking off post-processing script ( in my case Media Rover episode sorter ) when download/unpacking failed ?

Unpack
[the.biggest.XXXXXX.au.s05e50.pdtv.xvid-fqm] Failed opening main archive (encrypted or damaged)

Status is marked as "Completed" and Media Rover's script moved failed archive.

I dont think this ever hapend before and i'm sure i got failed/passworded/crc error archives before. ( after all i'm on astra :-) ) I think sab shouldnt start post processing script IF it fails download/unpacking , OR it should have some kind of flag for post processing script to make it aware that THIS THING FAILED CRC/UNPACKING , , what do you wanna do ?!

You know about the option "Process only verified downloads"?
See: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/configure-switches-v2
If it's off, your script will run anyway, but you are notified of the failure in parameter 7.
See: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/user-scripts

Yes i know about that " Process only verified downloads " and it is checked.

Here are details

" Download
Downloaded in 8 minutes 12 seconds at an average of 727.86 KB/s

Repair
[the.biggest.XXX.au.s05e50.pdtv.xvid-fqm] Quick Check OK

Unpack
[the.biggest.XXX.au.s05e50.pdtv.xvid-fqm] Failed opening main archive (encrypted or damaged) "

Obviously it passed quick check, but didnt extract correctly. Wouldnt it make more sense to NOT go ahead and call post processing script if sab is not able to open main archive ?

Yes what you say makes sense.
However, the description of the option says "verified" and not "correctly unpacked".
The current behavior is what (some) people now expect.
You can test for the status parameter.

Can you please let me know where i can see whether or not sab passed correct parameter ? ( in this case it would be 2 , right ? )

If it DID pass 2 , then i guess Media Rover sorting script should be updated with simple IF/ELSE, right ?

You can find your answers in: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/user-scripts
But, yes, you guessed it right.

This only appears for 2 items and seems to be happening every time I run the script.  Is this normal?  I cant recall this ever happening before.

Hey wally007,

Sorry for the late reply, I've been busy adding quality support to MR!  This issue has been fixed and will be released with the changes introducing quality support.  I'm making the finishing touches to the sorting script now, will then do some testing to make sure everything works (ish), before pushing to the dev branch.

It won't be long now!

wally007 wrote: Thanks. Care to explain how you approached quality support ?

• makes use of a sqlite database
• requires user to specify a quality level for each configured source
• users can now specify list of quality levels that are acceptable for all tv or for specific series
• users can now specify a desired quality for all tv or for specific series
• when quality management is turned on, MR will attempt to upgrade (or downgrade) episodes on disk to meet the user defined quality settings.

Not currently, though that does sound like a good idea.  How does this sound: rather than the current implementation whereby sources are organized by service (nzbs, tvnzb, nzbmatrix, etc), they be listed in the order by which they should be checked.  Does that sound like it would meet your needs?
