Anyone have any ideas on how to switch a Synocommunity Mylar package to switch from pulling from the Master branch to the developmental one? I tried altering versioncheck.py and version.py by replacing master with developmental, but that didn't work. Edit: Never mind. I previously altered it to say developmental instead of development. Once I actually used the proper term, it updated correctly. Who knew? Silly Burrito fucked around with this message at 02:33 on Apr 12, 2013 |

Cartesian_Duelist posted:Can someone give me a brief rundown of what is exactly required to run a Usenet indexer, as in, how would one pull the data? If I had that, making an account system/search system would be a loving breeze. Do you mean writing your own or using something like newznab? If you mean newznab, you just need to set up a machine with MySQL, PHP, bandwidth and space. If you mean writing your own you pick a language, and connect to usenet servers, download, and parse the articles.

I keep getting incompletes, I have supernews as my primary, astraweb and usenetserver as my backups. It's a little frustrating. Should I try one from the holland provider?

I'd wager this has something to do with your client or config, having all these servers would normally cover virtually 100% minus rare takedowns.

So this isn't directly related to usenet, but... I've got a 9TB NAS, and I want to back it up onto a whole pile of 500GB disks so I can rebuild the arrays. I think the easiest way to do this might be to split it up into an insane number of rar files with par2 files. Basically, do it the Usenet way. So how would I go about doing this exactly?

Just a note, RAR already has recovery record capabilities, but I am curious if PAR2 might actually be better. I think QuickPar should have options to drop in and create PAR recovery records. I have just never done it. Edit: After some playing with QuickPar, it appears it can do file splitting for you as well. But in my test I just dragged a largeish 700MB file into QuickPar and hit the Create button. Since it wasn't going on usenet, you don't really have to bother with a lot of the options. I'm not really sure if it's made to efficiently deal with hundreds of thousands of files, let alone small ones. So you might find yourself RARing a bunch of crap up, slicing into volume sets, and protecting the bunch with QuickPar (don't need to split further, so leave that unchecked). It'll generate your PARs after, but it kind of takes a while. WinRAR has the Recovery Record checkbox that adds some recovery, but QuickPar has more options here. Default is 10% redundancy in its settings. Kachunkachunk fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Apr 12, 2013 |

The scheme of using uncompressed rar archive with par2 recovery volumes is a solution to a problem you aren't exactly faced with. I would take the option off the table if that 9TB array is more than half full. Couldn't you just move the all files with Robocopy or something (possibly with verify on) and hotswap and re-execute the same move command every time each successive destination drive is full? Seems like less hassle on the user end.

And yeah I agree. I'd really just copy stuff over to the other disks or volume, then back over, once your RAID has been rebuilt.

If I move the raw files over then I have to manually split it up into 18 500GB chunks, whereas my thought was with the archive I could just dump it into one enormous archive. But that won't really work because I don't have 9TB of space to store archives while they're being built. My problem is how do I easily move all 9TB onto all those drives with as little manual intervention as possible. Being able to verify integrity and also repair would be an added benefit as well. But the more I think about this isn't the right way to go about it.

The best way is to get an external drive case, put all the drives in and you've got a backup forever. mostly. Even better if you just do it the smart way and realize that you should be backing up your raid in the first place and get a set of 4x2TB drives in a 4 drive case (nothing special, $100 or so) and just use it as a JBOD to offload your array and do the backups monthly at worst. Your biggest problem is that a drive will die, leaving you with way more than pars can fix the way you're talking unless you do them in 400gb chunks with 100gb worth of pars, dumping the rars straight to the new drive (presumably with an external drive dock or something) and then running the par creation on the new drive too. This all seems messy. This is not an 'as little manual intervention as possible' scenario, unless you're willing to spend money on making it happen that way.

If not, there's probably a firewall issue on the computer that has SAB installed. If you can, you probably didn't forward the ports correctly.

Not quite sure if this is the best place for it, but got a new machine and when I reinstalled Chrome and SABConnect++, whenever I click a magic "SEND NZBD" button, it sends it twice. Any ideas?

NewgroupDirect Happy Hour going on for the next 2 hours. 250gb block (plus 25gb headers=275gb total) for only $10. You can buy multiples so if you want 1.1TB for $40 buy it 4 times. FCKGW fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Apr 17, 2013 |

This has been happening to me too, but nothing else on my system has changed. It just started out of the blue the other day. I'm getting A LOT of failed downloads too. Pretty much nothing works. I think it may be tied to the password reset at NZB.su though.

Are you running the latest version? There seem to be a few downloads floating around where the filenames of the rar files don't match what the par2 file say they should be. I was running .7.3 and it would bomb out on those, and I think one of the very recent updates fixed it to detect that condition. Also, run Quickpar on those failed downloads, it will properly repair them if needed.

I tried to like Multipar, but went back to Quickpar. Even though it is slightly slower, it is better under a key circumstance -that is re-verifying a fileset. Quickpar caches its results to its user directory so (even if you close and reopen it) it can instantly be caught up if you only change or add a small number of missing files from the set. There's even an option to for it to monitor a directory and wait for exactly this. Multipar must re-verify every single file of the set each time and doesn't seem to monitor for changes. Annoying that https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parchive says Multipar supersedes Quickpar even though it doesn't encompass the full feature set. E: par2.exe, par2-classic.exe, and phpar2.exe (multipar's backend) all seem to take the same command line arguments. Maybe I could rename phpar2.exe to par2.exe and drop it into my SABnzbd folder for a little speed boost. We'll see. E2: On a download with missing blocks, it seems to not simply return success/failure without the number of blocks needed, so SAB doesn't attempt to download more repair blocks and it just fails. Disappointing. At least source code is available. gary oldmans diary fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Apr 18, 2013 |

I thought sabnzb told you there was a new update at the top of the window, or am I just getting confused with sickbeard? Either way good advice if you have a lot of failed downloads check sabnzb is up to date, seems obvious after the fact really.

It usually says update available in the upper left hand corner for me when an update is available. I think there is a switch in the set up that you have to enable to have it check for updates though.

Does the definitive guide to providers in the OP still apply? I assume so, but since the "as of" date is about two years ago, I figure it can't hurt to check...

Try that. If you're displeased, swap out one or the other, making sure that you keep them coming from separate feeds. Can we get that infographic in the OP? Also, I would recommend getting an EU/NL only provider if you can find one. I have good luck with older missing parts from an NL based provider.

I've been having that problem recently as well. It started with a recent update of either OpenElec or Sickbeard, I can't say for sure. I had been using Frodo before this problem started, so my issue at least isn't specifically a Frodo thing.

I've noticed two things when i upgraded to frodo -- one is that if the tv show isn't in the library i have to do a manual scan to get it in there before SB can update it. the other thing is that the 'Latest' videos isn't always accurate, older movies / tv episodes i add don't show up even though they were just added and are in the library.

Sickbeard seems to have at some point in one of the more recent updates broken their use of the JSON API in XBMC. I can't get updates/notifications to work at all. As for the things not showing up correctly in "Latest", Frodo shows "Latest" as file date, not date added to XBMC. If you want to change that, see here
