Simultaneously download & unpack at Android

Post by njeri123 » 17 Apr 2017, 08:27

Hi!

I would like to find a way how to unpack the files which are downloaded, at the moment when they downloaded.
I deactivate UnpackPauseQueue and ParPauseQueue, but NZBGet still starts the unpack process after downloading all packages.
Is there a possibility?

Thanks

Because "Unpack during downloading" is a feature which doesn't exist in NZBGet. Not because it's a bad idea but rather because it's extremely hard to implement.

Ok, that's a pity...
I ask because I use on windows a NZB client which unpack automatically during download.

Thank you for your reply

That's interesting. What client? Can it unpack obfuscated files?

SnelNL Client. If you mean password protected files, yes. It starting the unpack process after downloading the first package and ask you for the password.
It's a very simple downloader but it does its job very well, even if the download faulty it unpack it and you can watch the video inside during downloading.
Therefore I was a little bit confused why such a simple downloader have this functionality and NZBGet which is a "power user" downloader with so many setting options can not...

Sorry for my english.

I mean obfuscated posts where file names are changed, like this one.

No, this do not work...
I never seen such files after unpack.
OT: Maybe you have to download NZB's from a reliable forum?

In mainstream Usenet such files are very common. If your client handle them properly you should get an mkv video file at the end (no password required). If you have a bunch of strangely named files, then you client can't handle obfuscated downloads.

If you never saw them then you probably download very specific content where posters don't care about DMCA shutdowns and post in plain names. Or you download password protected files shared on forums. In any case, if you don't care about obfuscated nzbs, then you represent a minority of Usenet users ;)

What I'm trying to tell here is two things:
- unpacking of obfuscated posts on the fly is a difficult thing;
- there are a lot of other more important things for a "powerful" downloader.
