auto Unrar for files that don't have par2 files
and autojoin splitted files (avi.001 / mkv.001 ), delete files after that, and move the complete one to unrar dir
-
I second that.
Occasionally you'll also get files in the form of .001, .002, etc. which are recombined with a par file. The par file verifies all the pieces then recombines them into a single file (usually video). Since the pieces all come back complete when Alt.binz checks, the par files are never run to combine them. Alt.binz also deletes the par files (if you have the option set) so you can't manually do it.

bump!

I'd like to see this as well :)
-
Most of the HD Transport Streams I download are in the format 001.ts 002.ts
It would be a great option if they could be automaticly joined.

Thread necromancy ... but +1, if only because people keep asking :)

Would be nice feature to have.
In the mean time I'm using AutoUnpack (http://www.see-and-be.com/AutoUnpack/index.php) A great auto unrar utility.

good idea ;D

+1, especially for those split video files (avi.001, avi.002) where AB currently deletes the par set without running it or re-combining the video file first!

Thanks, using it for now.

Just to add, SABNZBD uses par2.exe (just like Alt.Binz) and it already joins these split files automatically. So Alt.Binz wouldn't need more components, just an extra couple of lines of code/switches for the existing par2.exe.
I spoke with the SABNZBD devs about it tonight and they said it's easy to implement, par2.exe just needs directly telling which files to join as it doesn't actually search the download folder for files (unlike QuickPar for example). So you'd need to add to the code/switches:
par2 r -options PARFILE file.001 file.002 file.003 file.004 file.005 etc.
I'm no programmer, but I thought this was worth bringing up :) It'd be nice to see joining added to my favourite app :D
-
In whicn case, why not just:
copy /b “movie.avi.001” “movie.avi”
copy /b “movie.avi” + “movie.avi.002”
copy /b “movie.avi” + “movie.avi.003"
etc.

etc.
Because like most others in the thread, I don't want to have to do that every time I download split files (often daily) :) Not when there are apps that can do it auto-magically. Even running quickpar outside of Alt.Binz is quicker than doing it that way. The code I quoted is the string that would need adding to Alt.Binz's own code, not to be run by the user for joining files each time (just in case you misunderstood me). Anyway, it'd be nice to see someday. In the meantime I just download splits using a different app.

What I meant was: since par2.exe doesn't apparently do anything beyond the copy /b code, Alt.Binz could just implement that instead, since it already has to create and pass the file list to par2.exe - but with more control of the process.
The trick is with creating the file list, of course. This is why AutoUnpack needs a 'fuzzy joining' method.

Ahh... My apologies, I misconstrued you :D

True, however, Altbinz already has to "deal" with par2.exe in order to verify that the download is complete, so it probably doesn't matter too much either way whether it does the join itself or hands off the work to par2.exe as long as it verifies the files are complete first.
-
I'd also like to request automatic joining of files that aren't part of a split compressed archive.
I'm even happy to offer some of my own source code to help ;D ...
see http://angusj.com/splitjoin/
HTH & thanks for a very useful application.

We need to throw a special birthday party for this thread on September 14. :P

hehe, 2 year old request, not bad ::)

It may be old, but it's still rocking ;D
+1 for me

i've seen this thread before but i didn't think much of it until i recently began download nzb's who continuted to have issues and didn't include the par2 files. I had to manually extract my files using winrar which isnt necessarily a problem, but more of a nuisance. going into the windows explorer and through all the folders can be quite a pain in the butt

i agree would be nice.
just a hint: use the build in explorer from altbinz in combination with favorite locations its much quicker than using the windows explorer

Somehow, I never added my +1 to this, so what better day to do it..
PLUS ONE! :)

copy /b “movie.avi.001” “movie.avi”
copy /b “movie.avi” + “movie.avi.002”
copy /b “movie.avi” + “movie.avi.003"
etc.
Until this is added, an easier way (when autounpack doesn't recognise it) is
Create a bat file (eg with Notepad), with the following line
copy /b *.avi.* joined.tmp
Then rename joined.tmp to movie.avi
-
@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.
-
+1
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.
-
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.
-
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.

If there is no par then 7-Zip does the rejoin for you.

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
(Note to Self: Check post dates before replying).
/me slaps CmdrX3 around a bit with a large trout.
-
+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 ).

another +1 :D

-
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
-
another +1 for auto joining split files
-
Plus one. It seem to be a really long-term request.
