j1nx Wrote:Hi Popeye,

I am a bit confused, hopefully you can help me out a little.

I haven't managed to get myself a nzbs.org login as of yet. So I need to use nzb.su

This is not a real problem as the API opens more doors for me over here in the Netherlands.

So you have two githups;
https://github.com/TsUPeR/xbmc-nzbs
The default, last updated on the 25th of July

https://github.com/TsUPeR/xbmc-nzb.su
A second one for nzb.su


Can you explain to me how to proceed from here if I want to use your plugin in combination with nzb.su

Thanks in advanced.

As thank you, expect the plugin translated to "Dutch" in return.

Installed both plugins (nzbs and nzbsu), they also work, send an nzb to sab. Sab has streaming on 1. It fills the incompletefolder with files, but nothing happens, and I still can't access the incompletefolder from your addon.


One featurerequest allready. nzb's on nzb.su can be incomplete (like 7mb of parts). So that doesn't contain a complete movie. Could you filter out incompletes, or show filesize perhaps for us to see which are complete and which not? I had several movies when I tested that downloaded for like 1 second and were done...\

Popeye Wrote:Logs, excellent! Had a quick look and I suspect there is a parse error of the history xml from SAB (line 4455, column 60) that causes the plugin to fail list the incomplete folder. If you could get the character I'd be happy to do a fix for it. Flushing the history might help you in the short run.
File size? Sure that is a goog suggestion if its a common problem. Guess you should tell nzb.su about the problem too. See who gets it fixed first...

Could not find anything in the logs. Will investigate later what is causing the problem and will report back.

Thumbs up, so far!

Mar2zz Wrote:woah I really suck @ python.

What I am trying to do is creating a newznabplugin. That's the nzb.su one, but for custom newznab-providers (I have 3 servers).

Ideal would be this:
Install the nzbs plugin. From that choose a plugin to use also (so it will download nzb.su for example as a plugin in a plugin). But also a newznab-plugin that can have a custom name (e.g. spotweb=dutch usenet community with newznab-api) and a custom url. All those set in settings.xml.

But, how do I change nzb.su to a plugin from which I can enter Name and URL as a variable?

You know what I am speaking about? Of course people will request this for nzbmatrix as wel. But maybe that uses a different api. Newznab-providers all use the same api-system, so only name, url, api and id are different.

By the way: I wrote a how to in Dutch for this plugin and asked people to test and post issues on github if any. Hope that's okay. (hoping it will speed up development to final state.) Here is the howto: http://mar2zz.tweakblogs.net/blog/6969/nzbs-streamen-in-xbmc.html

Popeye Wrote:Great to hear you got it working. I also use a NFS mount without any problems.



I'm not 100% sure I follow what you are trying to achieve. If you have another site using a similar api as nzb.su, why dont you just create a new plugin with the nzb.su as a template and change all references to nzb.su to whatever site you access? Remember to change the addon.xml since this is what XBMC reads during installation...

Mar2zz Wrote:Not really. Well, yeah spotweb is one of the newznab providers I want to use.

I want to make 1 plugin for all 3 newznab-providers I have. Then a settings.xml with this:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<strings>
    <!-- Plugin settings strings -->
    <string id="30005">Number of feed items</string>
    <!-- newznab -->
    <string id="30020">newznabname</string>
    <string id="30021"> - http://url.to.newznab</string>
    <string id="30022"> - Newznab1 id i</string>
    <string id="30023"> - Newznab1 r</string>
    <string id="30024"> - Hide XXX</string>
</strings>

This way the url to the newznab-site could be configurable from xbmc.

Mar2zz Wrote:....
edit2:
Yeah! It works! Custom newznab-provider (tested on my own server, another and nzb.su) works!
....

Now the only thing is, for every newznab site I have to create another one. In the end I will have nzbs.org, nzb.su, my own newznab, some other newznab, and spotweb. That's like 5 plugins with the same goal.

Is it possible to throw all these plugins into one plugin? Like:
open nzbs-plugin. A selection screen is presented where all providers are listed. Choose a provider and that newznab loads.
