Automatic re-try if "incomplete"

Open DarrenPIngram opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

  • What do you want to happen? [No idea if this is possible with integration, but it never hurts to ask] If possible, the application somehow is linked to SABNZBD [it already sends to it] and if it notices that download X is "incomplete" when processed it would try with a similar file from a different indexer [if configured]. Whether some basic AI could be done if all outlets are exhausted, e.g. all 1080 has been tried, go to 720 I don't know.

  • If not clear, why do you want it?

  • Do you think it's something only you need or something that might be popular? I dare say IF such a wild idea could be implemented, it can only benefit people in general. I do not underestimate the possible work involved, even if it is technically possible.

  • If not clear, explain the use case.

The hard part is determining what a "similar result" is. Without deeper knowledge of the results and how they relate to each other this is basically impossible. Automation tools know this. I think I could use results with the same name which are not duplicates. And I think there's some way of referencing them in the call or the NZB but not sure about that. I'll look into it but it will take a while.

Sure, it was just a thought.

For example, I could have downloaded a file today and it was marked "incomplete", so I copied the name back to NZBHYDRA, got more results and clicked on other "versions" returned by different indexers. In some cases it took several goes to get a working one.

Even if (and I do not know how you may parse it) it looks at the file name up to some SxxExx text and then looks for 720/1080/DVD etc? That may be a more advanced version.

Anyway, just throwing it out just in case even elements of it might be possible one day.

Thanks!
