[Scan-Script] Add packed nzb-files to queue

[hugbug]

You need folder rarfile. At best download the script with required libraries using button "Download zip" on github, then unpack it into scripts directory of nzbget.

that didn't work

Updated rarfile lib. Now supports rar 5 file format.

Hi,

I've got 2 VM's running NZBGet. I added this script as some of my NZB sources are rar'd and was tired of manually un-raring into the import folder.

On VM #1 this script runs flawlessly. On VM #2, I get the same errors as quite a few people.

Both VM's are Windows 7 Ultimate, 2gb ram, 40gb hard drives. Both have NZBGet & Python installed.

Is there anything else this script requires to run other than NZBGet & Python? I've compared both VM's and the software/setup is identical. The only difference is VM #1 has the videosort extension and VM #2 doesn't.

I know I could clone the working VM #1, but I'm thinking there's something missing on VM #2 and that could be what is causing other people to have the same errors as me.

Thanks for any light you can shed on this. The script works great (on VM #1 anyway)!

After a little bit more experimenting, I found out that this script doesn't run properly under certain versions of Python.

VM #1 had Python 2.7.10 installed and the script worked 100%.

VM #2 had Python 2.7.12 installed and the script gave me the same errors are some people had previously mentioned.

I am guessing somewhere between version .10 & version .12 something got changed in Python.

For anyone who wants to run this script, I would suggest checking which version of Python you are running.

Otherwise, under Python 2.7.10 this script does the job beautifully. Thank you to the script creator!

I tried it with 2.7.12. Works for me.

now it works

rarfile.rarfile.RarCannotExec: Unrar not installed? (rarfile.UNRAR_TOOL='unrar') replace unrar with the full Path of the unrar tool.

Thanks for this script.

As others I have the "gzipped" error message if though I'm trying to process a rar file. I'm running Windows 10.

Any thoughts?

Script is not working..and many of the nzb are either zipped or rar...and I find myself constantly having to unpack them so I can download the nzb, I think I am just going back to sab, I like nzbget. its quick and not a resource hog..but this is getting to involved to get a simple task done.
