SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

let me start with saying how much I cherish this free and powerful tool and respect the effort this community put into creating it.

My Question / Project /Issue:
I want to auto start or manually trigger the verify and extract operation of sabnzbd for files located in a network share (smb access) and which are already downloaded through my router and not downloaded by sabnzbd.
Why: My Router (ASUS rt-ac68u) can download and store nbz to an attached HDD but wont extract/repair them, i want SAB to take care of that part automatically every time i turn on my pc and/or manually trigger it.

Details:
Version: 0.7.20
OS: Win7
Install-type: Windows Installer,
Skin (if applicable): No idea, the orange an black one, that looks kinda carbony
Firewall Software: Win-Default
Are you using IPV6?: no
Is the issue reproducible? -

I'd very much appreciate any help or pointers for this. Thanks in advance.

Sounds difficult to me as SABnzbd does not know those downloads.

Can't you run par2 and then unrar on those files.

... oh, wait, you must be doing that already? If so, why not automate that in a script?

thanks for your fast reply.

so you cant start the verify/extract in sabnzbd without a prior download. I was hoping on that feature so I don't have to play/script around, which tends to be very time consuming.

No, I never tried to start par2 on its own, and I'm not very familiar with atoscripting rar operations but I trust that Google will teach me what I need to know. Any pointers on where to start researching the above would be highly appreciated
