It's been a while since I've visited this thread, mostly because I run XBMC on an ATV2 and I can't mount my SABNZBd folder...
Still, it's nice to see this project evolving amazingly, crongrats, Popeye I am honestly considering buying a "nettop" for this only.
I have a few questions / sugestions if I may, as I've been playing with the addons this weekend - while I should be studying... ah!
- Subtitle Support: Embedded subtitles are of course supported and the XBMC Subtitles plugin downloads subtitles just fine, but I'm wondering if it's possible to support external subtitles placed along the STRM file? I tried "Video.STRM / Video.SRT" and it didn't grab it. This is THE feature that I'd love to have, not being a native English speaker.
- NZB/STRM side-by-side: I understand the "easyness" of using a STRM file that points to an HTTP path, I'm wondering if it's possible to have STRM and NZB files sitting in the same folder, side-by-side, and use a relative path to the NZB? (not a "full path", because I might change directories in the future). Sorry if this has been answered before, but if so, how would I make the STRM file?
Basically I don't want to rely on a website/indexer that might disappear in the future, or not have a high-enough retention, I'd rather choose and keep track of my own NZB files.
- Auto Mark as Watched - I know you've been requested this before I've read a few pages back, I'm guessing there is still no light at the end of the tunnel? It's nice that the Trakt addon sucessfully scrobbles the STRM file (in library mode), but it would be nice not having to manually mark movies/episodes as watched.
- If I press "STOP" before a media item finishes playing, I get asked if I want to delete the SABNZBd Job and files (which I do), but if I let the video run till the end, the Player exists, but I never get the pop-up asking me if I want to do something. Is this by design or a limitation at this time?
- Sometimes SABNZBd will detect "Missing Articles" either on the first part or after downloading a bit more. Not sure if Pneumatic can pick up on that and warn the user?
- Sickbeard with STRM support. I admit I didn't read every page behind, but I'm wondering if there's hope of seeing tpunder's code integrated in the near future in SickBeard's? It's been quite a few months since the fork was updated, so basically what I'm wondering is if SickBeard's team was not receptive to the idea
As a general question for people who might have "replaced" their media library with NZB files, how's that going out for you? Retention keeps increasing at "realtime" speed which is great, but even with block usenet accounts, I'm mostly concerned about ending up with with lots of incompletes that of course cannot be PAR-corrected in real-time and I'd have the "unpleasant" surprise of a movie crapping out in the middle
I also noticed in Beta/Nightly versions of XBMC that the Pneumatic info box saying "Downloading file from SABNZBD etc etc" never disappears, even after the video starts playing. Eden works out just fine. I'm guessing this is known since the first post only mentions Eden, but I figured I'd mention it anyway
