retried PAR

Post by doubledrat »

on a few occasions, the PAR  for a file set has failed, but running it a second time has worked.  Would it be possible to try the PAR twice? alternatively, I could always do it through a postprocessing job, but I skip postprocessing if there is a failure.  I'm not sure if there is a parameter indicating success or failure on the postprocessing though?

In  release 0.5.0 the status will be passed too as parameter.
Currently, a failed repair will result in a _FAILED_xxx folder containing also par2 files.
This combination should tell your script that repairing has failed.

Don't forget to switch off "safe post processing" in Config->Switches.

BTW: if par2 sometimes fails, I would start doubting the quality of my hardware (memory).
