SABnzbd Forums

Just thought of a possible feature.

Having a user selectable option (not everyone will want this) to automatically download nfo files for all queued files before downloading the queue data as a whole.

Then on the queue list have a link to view the nfo file (when it's available).

This can further be extended to extract certain details out of the nfo file (for example imdb-id if it exists), this will allow another link to be displayed on the queue to link to imdb site.

Most indexing sites already provide easy access to NFO files.
What you ask is rather against the basic idea of SABnzbd: feed it NZBs and wait for the completion email.

The reason is i have a lot of automation, so a lot of things get queued (often in a paused state).

So when I have a list of 20-30 items queued and i need to double check them before pressing play to un-pause them.

I need to copy/paste the name, go to the index site, search, find the right one, click detail, click nfo.

Or alternatively if it's a movie, go to imdb, search, find the right movie and then view detail.

The .nfo's will all be downloaded anyway when each queue item gets downloaded, i guess this is just setting a priority on a queue's sub-items first.

This will allow some management to be made from the UI. As currently it's just a queue item with a name and nothing functional you can do about it.
