SABnzbd Forums

Hi,

Sorry for asking but I didn't found clear answers in Wiki & FAQ.

- As the par2 included in SABnzbd 0.5 Beta1 for OS X is not multi-core, the good setting is to leave "Extra PAR2 Parameters" blank, am I right ?
- If I replace the par2 with a multi-core version (the one included with MacPAR Deluxe), what are the possible settings ? -t- / -t0 / -t+ or is there something else ?

- Are the Nice Parameters active on OS X ? As there's no ionice on OS X, I wonder if this works with nice/renice and what are the possible settings ?

Thanks for your answers...

Par2 parameters are only for par2 ttb (multicore), which is not included with OSX app, so par2 parameters are useless.
The only parameter that works on OSX for nice is -n, try to type "man nice" in a Terminal. Since we have introduce low IO priority in 0.5.x, it's not needed anymore (in my opinion).

So the best thing is to leave both fields blanks.
Thanks a lot rAf

And why is there's no multi-core par2 on 0.5.0 ß1 OS X ?
Is it a legal reason or a technical reason ?
In other words is there any issue or speed gain replacing sabnzbd's par2 utility with a multi-core version ?

Honnestly, there are many issues with specials characters.
I've also run some benchmark tests and results was not far better than par2 classic on 10.5.
I've not rerun test on 10.6...

i have rerun it but all went in vain....

The newest MacPar deluxe has a Snow Leopard (GCD) optimized par2 binary.

I replaced the one inside the lastest sabnzbd beta and it seems to be working. I have not done any benchmark tests though, so I'm not sure if it's any faster.

How did you replace it? Which files?

I have the paid version of the new MacPar Deluxe and SAB 0.5.0 final, and am on OS X 10.6.2

Thanks

MacPar Deluxe Par2 is already included in SABnzbd 0.5.0 but only activated for 10.6+ users.
