php has a file/directory check function.....

 

Myk

 

I would say the popup box - you know how some ppls dont read the entire screen

The directory check function would let me know if its a directory, but as far as its concerned(atleast I think) /usr/local/ would be a valid directory, even though it is in ram. I was needing something that would return whether or not it was in ram or on an actual disk.

 

I've got it working now, its in the sabnzbd plug-in, I'll upload it in a little bit, right now I'm putting it in the sickbeard and headphones plug-ins.

 

I went with the simple warning at the top for now. I wouldn't mind the popup but I wouldn't want it to come up every time the user changed a setting(as it would check every time). I could save a cookie once the user ok'd the directory location, but am thinking of a way to gracefully unset the cookie if the directory is changed so it can be verified again.

Alright, changes are done and file is up, get it HERE

 

Also made similar changes plus a few other minor changes to couchpotato_v2, sickbeard and headphones. All can be downloaded from the link in my sig.

I'm going to close up shop on google code, any changes I make in the future I'll make to WW's github. Much simpler for users and devs to have one version, instead of multiple floating around, and seeing as WW has already setup the github, might as well use that,

This is a shame, it sad to see someone else come forcefully in and take over someone elses work that had not been abandoned.  Guess my unRAID will have a few less plugins as I refused to use versions from someone else like this...

Perhaps I missed something, but I think I saw Influencer made some updates to the BenniChann plugins, which hadn't been updated in quite some time.  WW came and fixed some of those fixes, they each fixed some more fixed, and Influencer has just said he will just contribute to the common Git, so they all stay on the same page.

 

I guess I missed out on who's toes had been stepped on.  I personally appreciate the advancement of the plugin, and the help I received in getting it working for me.

 

Everyone has their opinion, and I'm not trying to invalidate yours, you're certainly entitled to it; I'm just bringing another viewpoint, FWIW.

MyKroft, me and WW decided to work together on plug-ins. I updated Benni-Chan's plugins as he was away for a while, (busy with school?). WW saw room for improvements with my changes and instead of having two different versions we decided to work together on it, and he set up the github so we will use that.

 

WW did not come in and forcefully take the work, I could just as easily keep releasing separate plugins, but we instead decided to merge into one plug-in, and they will be all the better for it.

 

I hope you continue to use them, you have been a great supporter of mine and I appreciate it!

Is this the Github page that is being discussed? So this is where one would now find the latest version of the plugins?

Yes, that is correct

Can anyone explain why i cannot change the install and data directories?  Whenever I try change them, my changes are not save and the values go right back to: /usr/local/sabnzbd

 

Any thoughts?

 

First you need to stop the apps from running. Once they are disabled, make your changes and click save/apply  and then re-enable the apps.

I thought I stopped the apps from running.  I changed the running option to No.  I looked in the activity monitor and process list and killed all of them.  Sab, Sick and Couch.  It still will not accept changes to the installation directories for SabNzb.  I was able to change Plex with no problem.

 

Any thoughts on how to change the installation/data directories for SabNzb?

 

you need to make your directory changes, and then enable the plugin before hitting apply.  Changes are only accepted when the plugin is activated.  Weird - but that is how it was designed.

Thanks.  That worked. 

We do need to change that at some point, but right now it works that way because of this(atleast its my view)

 

It ensures that the app is not running when changes are made. If the user changed the port while the app was running, the plug-in would look for it at the new port, but since the app is running it wouldn't be updated until the next time it is restarted. To fix this would require having the app restart with any changes. Not a huge problem to fix but it hasn't been high on the list of things to do right now.

 

I do acknowledge its not exactly intuitive though...

Thanks.  I thought exactly the same thing, but I didn't want to discourage you.  Your work is great and I am enjoying it.  Please keep it up!

 

In the future feel free to post any thoughts or suggestions! They are always welcome. And besides, if I find it discouraging, rude, or anything else negative, I reserve the right to completely ignore it 

 

But seriously, thoughts always welcome. That particular code is from the first author, I haven't gotten around to changing it. Although I know its not intuitive I suppose I'm looking at it as it works why change it... At the very least ill add a note to describe the procedure until it is changed.

 

Thanks for the support and glad your enjoying them!!!

the beta doesnt install, it says its installing, and then starting.  but when sab is started again its still the old version.

need the newest version of the plugin, but ... latest beta of RC2, would no longer get nzb files for me and had to manually go back to the previous beta.

 

would be nice to have a option in the plugin to revert to a previous beta......

I ran it manually and found the download path to be missing a little bit...  It tries to download from:

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sabnzbdplus/files/sabnzbdplus-beta/0.7.0RC2-src.tar.gz

 

The actual address is closer to:

 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/sabnzbdplus/files/sabnzbdplus-beta/0.7.0RC2/0.7.0RC2-src.tar.gz

They changed the format of the downloads. I'll post an update soon.

First of all, a huge THANK YOU for your plugins - I've had the best luck with them on my box and I'm very appreciative.

 

Now when it comes to installing newer versions, is it safe just to rerun the .plg file (after stopping the sab server) OR should I be going through, removing any trace of sabnzbd and then installing?

 

Thank you.

I personally like the command line to do updates because I can see if they work or not.  First replace or update the plg file, then run installplg on the file. Finally, run "/etc/rc.d/rc.sabnzbd update" which stops the service, updates it, and starts it up again... 

Like GBDesai said, I prefer "rerunning" the plg to update to a new version, so i can see what its doing. You do not have to remove anything, the files that the PLG would update are removed and then written to update.

 

If your talking about newer versions of the apps themselves, each app has its own method. With couchpotato and sickbeard, you can use the in-app updater, with sabnzbd, a button will appear at the bottom of the webgui plugin settings page allowing you to update.

 

Hope this answers your question,
