Modify Sab to ignore the control characters in the nzb files. Or modify your plugins to strip out the control character before saving the nzb file. I think the second option is realistic. Can you please see what can be done?

I didn't read properly . Pneumatic has nothing to do with the nzb file. It merely sends the url to SAB and never touches the nzb. The fix is then in SAB or on your sites.

Ok seems reasonable. One more thing can you tell me, when I choose save to xbmc library. For some sites it saves just the strm file, and then when click play in the library it works fine. However for the problem sites it saves the strm files plus the nzb files into the library. Is it supposed to do that? I notice if I delete the local nzb file then it appears to work. Is there a way to prevent the nzb files from going into the library?

Now you come with new information . This is the exact reason I why want a log... The problem is most probably caused by XBMC since it appends /x00 to whatever is being written using xbmcvfs. This should be fixed in the latest nightly builds but might have broken other things in my code. The saving of the nzb with the .strm was introduced so you could still use the strm files without the site being online or not....

The feature you have to save nzbs seem nice idea, but for me I would like that to be optional, is it possible?

(2013-01-21, 00:41)Popeye Wrote: Manual logging, . I'm way to tired for this... Optional nzb saving is an option I can add. For now you can just add a # to line 55 of strm.py

The malformed results and script errors seem to on every single newznab listed site I've tried...

I will pm you a log of what I mean

Hi,
I'm having the same problem as you. Did you find the solution for this?
Thanks!

Unfortunately that didn't help, but it can also be that the newznab sites I have added, have some problems.
E.g.
nzb.su doesn't let me do any search anymore
nzb7.com doesn't work, but I don't know why

But I've added 2 other sites and they work, so I gues it's not the addon, but the site.
Thanks again for this great addon!

nzb7 the same as nzb.su: no api search for free users... Now everything's clear

In the newznab plugin can you add a setting for rating so we can define the regex? Ratings end up missing in some of my sites.

one of my sites has the meta info like this:
<b>Year:</b> 2002<br /> <b>Rating:</b> 5.6<br /> <b>Genre:</b> Comedy<br />

So I can adjust year and genre but I end up with no ratings because your plugin scans only the newznab attributes for the ratings Maybe you could assign an order. First try regex defined by the user and if nothing found then you look at the newznab attribute stuff?

Thanks

Maybe but I have very little chance of changing the mind of newznab providers. Hey if the site includes imdb Id or rage Id. Can your code use that to retrieve all the other details like ratings plot etc?

Also I'm having problems because many skins don't show the file size when using the Newznab add-on which makes it difficult to choose which file to get. It's fine in confluence and Aeon Nox shows file sizes in the tri-panel view but none of the other skins I have installed seem to show them.

Edit - It would also be amazing if it's possible to update the XBMC on completion of a download.
