It all depends on you connection and the size of the first rar.

The big question, does the new version work better or not?

I honestly don't see a difference from the new version and the last version. It works the same, every now and then I get a plugin script error when trying to stream something but most shows and movies work.

[timgt]

Is there any way to have the NZB plugin work with smb shares as the incomplete folder? That is the only thing preventing this from working on an apple TV 2.

My SABnzbd incomplete folder is set to:

smb://MYPCNAME/incomplete/

that is the correct place but when I try to open that location in the plugin it gives me a script error.

Any ideas?

And these errors are due to? Without some brain work ;D , logs and system information I cannot help you. Personally I don't see any errors on two different platforms.

Sorry, this is a python limitation AFAIK. Try mount the share by changing fstab on your atv2. Think someone used NFS further back in this thread..

[fpoil]

The way Sabnzbd gives folders permissions on smb share is why you can use this plugin on smb share.

I also tried and impossible to play any movie.

Each movie folder created by Sabnzbd in incomplete folder during download receives an 500 permission.

Hmmm, I tried creating my incomplete folder as an NFS share instead of SMB on my server and on the apple tv 2 I set it as NFS as the client. I can browse that folder just fine under XMBC but the same thing happens under the plugin, i cannot browse the incomplete folder. It gives me a plugin error just like the SMB mount did.

I wish I knew how to give you the log to see if you could figure out why. I'm not sure how j1nx got NFS shares to work with this plugin, I sure can't

[ckergald]

I'm using a smb share for my incompelte folder. not really certain why it works for me given what fpoil said but it does.

sab is running on ubunutu 11.04 server, samba share with security=user

xbmc running on windows 7, mounting the smb share as the same user account that sab is running under.

definatly not error free, I still have a few files fail to stream, but most work.

[timgt]

Does any of this make sense?

Its saying no such file or directory but I can browse it fine on XBMC under files.

With NFS, it looks like a mapped network folder is axectly like any normal local folder and for that reason it also uses the same file security options.

If SABnzbD on the server runs as user="sab" within group="sab" it created any folder within the incomplete using these credentials and a strict 0500 persion set.

So you either have to make sure that xbmc on the client runs as the exact same user as sabnzbd or you have to map them a bit. Keep in mind that the usernames and groepnames are just for the admnistrators ease. It is the relative userID and groupID (the numbers not the name) that telle linux who you are.

Easiest thing to do is to change the way the incomplete folder is mounted by the NFS server/client.

Find out the UserID and GroupID of the sabnzbd user and then use the following (extra) mounting options for the incomplete folder.

Code:

all_squash,anonuid=UID,anongid=GID

Where UID is the userid sabnzbd runs under and GID the goupid.

all_squash
Map all uids and gids to the anonymous user.
anonuid and anongid
These options explicitly set the uid and gid of the anonymous account. This option is primarily useful for PC/NFS clients, where you might want all requests appear to be from one user.


You got the picture?

[timgt]

Those mounting options don't look available when running the mount command under windows 7. I can mount an NFS drive but have very few options. Maybe those commands are for linux only.

Besides I have no idea how to find my userid and groupid anyway.

Thanks for trying to help but I'm a lost cause. Everything works fine on my PC but the ATV2 is worthless.

Oh crap, you are on windows. Sorry I give up.

Time to bring this plugin back to the top of the results where it belongs.

It has been working great on my windows machine but every now and then a file will fail to play and I usually get something in my log that looks like the below code I posted. Any ideas what is causing this sometimes and other times the files play fine?

[Popeye]

Thanks timgt. From you logs it looks like a read error or something. What could be happening is that xbmc is a bit slow starting to play the movie and my script tries to remove the files since the timer has timed out...
default.py line 504

Code:

while (wait <= 10):
            time.sleep(1)
            wait+= 1
            if xbmc.Player().isPlayingVideo():
                break

I have had some issues also and have begun to suspect this. Could you try changing it to 20-30ish and see if it helps?

git error on downloading the latest. download error - The requested URL returned error: 403

[timgt]

Popeye, I tried your suggestion by changing the 10 to a 30 but still get the same error.

Whats wierd is that the video doesn't start playing, so I try to go back to the main screen on your plugin where i can pick my incomplete folder and try to play it directly from within that folder and it still doesnt play. After the download is finished it then DOES play if I click it from within your plugin in the incomplete directory. Wierd huh?

If that is the case there must be something with how the movie is stored in the rar set. Since you had read errors in the log it cold be the case that xbmc tried to read data further into the movie (or even the end that we don't have).
If you have the time you could help out with a test.
1, With the movie in the incomplete folder try moving some of the last rar packages and try to play the movie.
2, try moving some of the rars in the middle and leave at least the first and the last
If 1 fails and 2 succeeds, then we might have a solution, else I'm just confused
