Disable re-queue of downloaded NZB files

[kdbruin]

I use binsearch to get a set of NZB files that I want to download. I've just upgraded from 4.x to 5.x and now the NZB files are automatically added to the download queue. How can I disable this as I want to have control over what is downloaded and when.

There currently is no way to stop this.
The idea is that if you choose to download the NZB of an NZB,
you really want to download what the second NZB describes.

That is true, but in some situations I want to get the NZB files and download it later because e.g. I don't have enough diskspace left.

Could you point to the code where this is done. I've grep'ed a bit in the code but couldn't really find where this is done.

[shypike]

That's quite easy.
Module sabnzbd/postproc.py.
Replace this line:

Code: Select all

nzb_list = NzbRedirect(tmp_workdir_complete, pp, script, cat, priority=priority)

by:

Code: Select all

nzb_list = []

Make sure the indentation stays the same.

Thanks for the info. I will see if I can make a patch to include some configuration item etc to trigger the re-queue of NZB files.

No need for a patch, I can do it in 5 minutes.
That's not the hard part.
We are a bit reluctant to add too many obscure options.
