[linux] post processing TV shows

Post by emopausal »

I screwed-around with some settings and prevented a complete post-processing run. My downloads are in their completed-downloads folder and I've the nzb, par2 and rar files.

What's the correct invocation of the py script(s) to complete the processing from the cli?

tia!

Found the answer - posting it in case someone else (noob like me) needs it:

First, confirm that the rar files are complete using the par2 file:

Code: Select all

# par2 -v {file}.par2
Once the files are validated, then extract the content from the rar archives to create the destination media file:

Code: Select all

# unrar x -e file.part1.rar
The rar utility will pick-up all of the rar files in the directory that are part of the file.part1 sequence and will write the destination file.

If you don't have the rar and par2 utilities, you can install them (Ubuntu):

Code: Select all

# sudo apt-get install rar unrar par2
Hope this helps someone else...
