look for smallest .par2 file

Post by hoju3508 »

There's this recent trend of scrambling each .par2 and .rar files, and sabnzbd+ doesn't know what to do with them.

Workflow
- Generate set of .rar files
- Generate set of .par2 files for the .rar files
- Use TotalCommander to rename all the files

I guess since all of the .par2 files are unique, sabnzbd+ couldn't decide which one to use. Is it possible for sabnzbd+ to find the smallest .par2 files and automagically post process it?

We're working on a solution for the next release.
It's rather tricky, because SABnzbd is designed around the idea that rar/par sets follow naming conventions.
The renamed par2 files make SABnzbd assume that there are multiple (incomplete) sets.
