Lots of lovely updates included, enjoy!

- Leechr now checks NZB files for passworded content, no more bad downloads!

Great update Ashy!
how do I enable NZBmatrix support?
October 19, 2010 at 12:10 pm |
Take a look at the example.conf for all the settings but for NZBmatrix there are two lines:
### NZBMatrix.com settings ###
NZBMATRIX_USERNAME = “”
NZBMATRIX_APIKEY = “”
You can get the api key from nzbmatrix by hitting the “Your Account” link at the top right.
It is a great update, I especially like the timeout to SD if the HD isn’t available for a time.

Awesome update – some great new features!
Only issue is that NZBMatrix is a little bit liberal in its matching… particularly for shows that are just released. It seems that it’ll take anything that’s xxxx.S01E05 when looking for yyyyy.S01E05 (if it’s not there).

I’m getting periodic errors with some files with the nzb checking enabled (show name removed below):

Is this simply a result of passworded files or is it something else? This happened about 3am this morning, when I tried it again a few minutes ago it downloaded fine.
OS: MacOS 10.6.4, Leechr running as a scheduled LaunchAgent (like a cron job).

Hi,
I’ve got the show Sym-Bionic Titan in my ME list, but when the new NZBMatrix module tried to search for it, it matched the following :
[45/49] Searching for ‘Sym-Bionic Titan S01E06′ (SD):
Trying NZBMatrix module..
5 matches:
(1) 0 The Rob Brydon Show S01E06 WS PDTV XviD FTP
(2) 0 The King is Dead S01E06 WS PDTV XviD WATERS
(3) 0 Junior MasterChef Australia S01E06 WS PDTV XviD FQM
(4) 0 Nikita S01E06 Resistance HDTV XviD FQM
(5) 0 Top Chef Just Desserts S01E06 Black and White HDTV XviD MOMENTUM
Grabbing NZB (1)..
It then added the Rob Brydon show. Please can you have a look at this issue?
Thanks!

Got a couple of others with the same problem : Detroit 1-8-7 and Hawaii Five-0. It looks like the ‘-’ in the show titles is causing an issue with the NZBMatrix search query and returning results that don’t match the show name.
Any chance of a fix please? Thanks!
October 28, 2010 at 7:19 pm
Yep, their search is a bit awkward
Should be fixed in 0.4.8.6

Cheers!

Not sure if this is related to this latest update, but I’m having an issue where a lot of shows are being downloaded when the latter rar parts (like r16 onwards) are not complete – instead of being 50mb, they’re between 10-30mb. Then the file is not un-archiving, nor can it be fixed by the pars.
Any ideas why this is suddenly happening?
October 28, 2010 at 7:20 pm |
Hmm, not had any problems here.
Can you tell me which searcher was used which shows you had problems with?
Have you checked your news server is not having problems?
