Might try out your solution as well I'm currently adding 0 byte rar files (r01 - r99) to the download folder and have them overwritten. The only problem I'm facing is that I want to add the movie to the library (doable by having XBMC on MySQL and editing the database) and then keep the entry in tact when the movie is unrarred and moved to the media folder. Currently doing this by changing the database entry, but that isn't very stable. Unlike your solotion, I want this to be fully seamless. I'm using my mobile phone (with Couchpototo share) or my laptop (with Couchpotato userscript) to get movies into SABnzbd. So I don't have to bother with browsing movies in XBMC. Therefore I'm using EventGhost to watch SAB's incomplete folder. A python script then takes over to create the empty rars and calculate when the movie is downloaded far enough to be played without waiting for additional files. When I select 720p instead of 1080p, I can generally start watching a movie after 10 to 15 mins. Much better than waiting for 45 minutes for it to be fully downloaded. It's awesome when you have some friends over and you decide to go watch a movie that you don't have.
Might have to integrate this with something else I'm working on thou. I'm working on a Cinema Experience alternative based on either PLS or STRM files. Would be useful to have those in the library so I can hand it over to Python when a movie starts, and I don't have to bother with the XBMC database.
I couldn't be bothered to read all this info on how you did this, but it's nice to see there are more people working on this
lol, this has been around for several years . 0 byte will only work on Windows, for *nix you need to write the rar header, just so you know why I do 7 byte files. If I could suggest a way forward for your setup would be to have the couchpotato script call my plugin (using xbmc json api) and let pnaumatic handle the streaming. 10-15 min for 1080p sounds like you are on a slooow connection. I have been thinking about doing some smarter pausing in case of slow connection but haven't had the time....

I can't get Newznab working, i installed it, configured it with two sites and then tried to access it via video addons.
First it comes up with the configure window, I press ok, then it comes up again, press ok and then I get this blank window.
Any ideas?
Most probably you have the api key wrong. Secondly, you dont have the absolute latest version (with a proper User Agent) and get blocked by the server. Take a ordinary xbmc debug log and PM me.
