auto Unrar without par2 and join split files

[P3tr0ck]

@patch

Yea, that would work but for now i just use QuickPar.  It rejoins the file in a jiffy.
If there is no par then 7-Zip does the rejoin for you.
Still waiting on the integration into Alt.Binz though.

This would be the top if not the only thing I'd like to see added to Alt.Binz.  Not sure why this hasn't been added yet, as this program is just so terrific.

[sauzee]

yup, i'd like this too.

Most of my downloads seem to have the file.avi.001, file.avi.002 etc ... naming pattern.

The standalone par2 program can use the par2 file to verify and unrar these, but alt.binz ignores all the files and thinks all the parts are missing.

I'm a programmer and I really can't see why the developer wont apply this feature to the project. Like pointed out numerous times in this feed, it shouldn't be a big deal, cause altbinz already does it for the most part, it would just take a few lines added in the monitor-section of the program. I mean there are even people which would share their project-codes to see this feature implemented... so letz have it already

Because yeah, that attitude really works around here, and everyone who hasn't seen the Alt.Binz code obviously understands how easy it is to add things. Carry on.  Share your Delphi code if you have any.

Couldn't we just create a script which executes using the Default Execute Command under NZB options?  It looks like the necessary parameters are accessible.  That looks to be a very powerful feature which has been given to us.  I have not yet taken advantage of it, but that's where I would begin my experimentation.  If you don't feel comfortable writing scripts maybe try RARZombie, ExtractNow, or SCRU.

the problem is that without a par2 file the execute command doesn't kick off which brings us back to the problem what to do if there is no par2 file included in the collection. the best solution i could think of would be to have alt.binz use sfv-files to verify the set and an option to make the execute comand kick off after each finished collection aswell.

[Chuckle123]

Using the .sfv file does sound like a good idea.  Your idea of using the same Default Execute Command sounds good too, but would mean that a flag has to be made available to alert the user that the collection may not have been verified.  This would imply that an end user has to use scripting to detect this state before performing an action.  We could include a "Not Able To Verify Execute Command" for when par files don't exist.  This would allow us to know without scripting that no par files exist and/or that the collection has not been verified and we can just issue a batch file or inline command to address the collection.  The nice thing about an external command is that Alt.Binz does not have to wait for that task to finish processing, nor does it care about the outcome of said task.

Reading other treads about 7-zip, I also thought this may be a viable alternative. Replacing the unrar process with the command line 7zip or even a customized version of the code, should do the job. I'm already using it in a batch file to decompress or join files after download.

Anyways, this is my first post, so thank you and please keep improving this awesome program.

+One on the rejoining of splits, perlease

+1 For rejoining of splits ( 001/002, none-rar ... ) files. Ran into it again yesterday ( lost half a hour just getting all those split files back together. Kind of annoying as to why people post it on the newsservers in that way ).

could you also have the files automatically be renamed if the names of the files have been changed? I tried unraring a movie today and I had to use QuickPAR because Alt Binz didn't know the files we're renamed
