Autoimport nzb disabled in OS X

Added by eustonr 7 months ago

Hi

I just moved from a Linux server to a OSX one, and I'm trying to convert everything over.

I've been running nntpgrab for some time now, with autoimport of my nzbs. But in OSX its disabled (as of 6.2)

Is there a reason? Will it be back?

Thanks,
Robert

Automatic import has never worked before on OSX. When one tried to enable automatic import on NNTPGrab 0.6.1 or older then that would cause a cryptic error message on OSX.
The change which was done in NNTPGrab 0.6.2 was just disabling a feature which didn't work anyway.
That is because it isn't implemented yet in GLib (one of the components which NNTPGrab uses).
See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=543148 for the bugreport about this.

Thanks for replying so quickly.

I've been thinking about a work around for this -

The solution seems to me to attach an automation action in OSX to the folder nzbs get put into, and have the automation run nntpgrab to inport the file - this would get around the problem you mention.

Problem is - how to get nntpgrqb to import without prompting? what to run? I've tried this by running the nntpgrab_gui.app, but that doesn't work so well, as you need to enter import information manually each time it runs. (ie, same as opening a NZB file with the app)

So - my question becomes - is there a way - commandlne option perhaps - to add a new nzb onto the end of the queue without nntpgrab prompting?

Another - possibly better - option for me would be for the server application to be able to import a NZB (without prompting) when a nzb is opened with it as the "default application". This currently does nothing.

Automatic NZB import should work on Mac OS X as of NNTPGrab 0.6.91 which has just been released
