par2 files not deleating after repair
« on: April 02, 2016, 07:04:28 AM »
I have been having an issues with the new random file names that have become popular. When the file names are random my par2 files don't get deleted after a successful repair and unraring. This is not a deal breaker issue but it is super inconvenient, and I can't figure out why its happening. I was also wondering if there is a way to have the finished video file be renamed to the nzb's name so I don't have to change it myself after.

par2 files should be deleted, at least it appears to be working on my side even with 'random' par2 filenames. Can you send me example (nzb file) via private message of one that doesn't work for you.
On the subject of renaming, there is no such option currently in alt.binz, but it can be done via execute cmd script after par2/unrar.

sorry to bump an old thread but when downloading from one particular newznab indexer (I wont name them here publicly) who uses a custom obfuscation method, the par2 files are each renamed differently - Alt.Binz cannot seem to recognise that they all are mislabeled par2 volumes as they have different names, and unless you rename the par2 volumes manually you cannot use them to par2 repair.

Then, the other related issue is that if the file doesn't need repair, and since I have par2 volumes up to 12KB set to automatically download whether I need them or not (saves time since Alt.Binz doesn't need to check all the files twice) is that these obfuscated par2 volumes, which are different to the original .par2 index file, don't get cleaned/deleted after a successful unrar in the cleanup.

I can provide examples via pm if required.
