Hi!

I really like the new format, but I’m having some issues:

File “/usr/share/lottanzb/lottanzb/backend/interface/__init__.py”, line 214, in internal_handler
handler(interface, query, *args)
File “/usr/share/lottanzb/lottanzb/backend/hubs/polling.py”, line 54, in internal_handler
handler(query)
File “/usr/share/lottanzb/lottanzb/backend/hubs/statistics.py”, line 72, in on_history_query
value = DataSize.from_string(query.response[response_key])
File “/usr/share/lottanzb/lottanzb/backend/hubs/__init__.py”, line 130, in from_string
raise ValueError(“Invalid data size.”)
ValueError: Invalid data size.
Segmentation fault

Ich bin es nochmal, wollte noch dazu sagen, das ich es komisch finde das dieses SabNZB noch mit installiert wird automatisch, wenn ich LottaNZB 0.6 installiere. Fand die alte Version von LM9 und Ubuntu 10.04 wirklich besser.

Hallo Leute, die neue Version von LottaNZB 0.6 stürzt bei meinem LMDE 2011.08 immer ab nach gewisser Zeit. Ich würde daher dies als Bug oder so auffassen. Auch wenn ich auf X drücke und LottaNZB ins Tray gesetzt wird, scheint es abzustürzen. Ich werde bei mir die LottaNZB Version nehmen die bei Linux MInt 9 / Linux Ubuntu 10.04 standard in den Repositories zu finden ist. Ich glaube die lief am stabilsten und hatte nie Fehler bei mir.

I’ve notice that my client (version 0.6) crashes at random and looking at the debug log I see these types of message sprinkled throughout.

These two appear after starting:
Could not find configuration class ‘lottanzb.plugins’.
Could not find configuration class ‘lottanzb.gui.messaging’.

This one appears after “Component ‘lottanzb.gui.messaging.MessagingManager’ loaded.” is loaded:
Could not find configuration class ‘lottanzb.config.hellanzb.log_file_max_bytes’.

THANKS Severin, I do look forward to have the ability to see the files, I’ve been using Usenet 10 years and I download like every day and I can tell you as a regular user I run into bad files often that don’t have Par files to recover them and then you have to go Internet hunting just to download a single file…

See as much as possible in a binary downloader helps…

THANKS

@Das: If a download works fine, users should not need to be concerned about what RAR files etc. a download consists of. However, you’re absolutely right that users need the possibility to resolve problems if they *do* occur. Displaying the files included in a download as well as their status would be a first step towards it and I agree that LottaNZB should gain this capability at some point in the future.

SABnzbd itself is slowly getting better at dealing with problems and providing users with the means to resolve them. It’s important that LottaNZB users can also benefit from them.

Severin,

Thanks for your reply. While I understand trying to focus on bugs and getting it ready for release. please understand that as a Usenet tool it can really help being able to see the files you are downloading, especially when you run into problems, like corrupt/incomplete files which happen all the time.

And without being able to see the bad files, especially when many times there aren’t enough par files to recover, then you are left with having to go back to the cmd line and run par to find the corrupted file. Granted an experienced geek can handle this, but having Lottanzb show us the files, it’s going to simplify things.

I hope you will truly consider this now, or later, as it’s only going to make Lottanzb a better program.

THANKS

@Das: It would definitely be possible to show the list of all files included in a single download as part of the ‘Download Properties’ window. However, it will probably not be the case for 0.6 as the current focus is on fixing bugs and making it ready for the release.

PLEASE make Lottanzb 0.6 show all the files you download and then you’ll want to make it with minimize/maximize icon so that you can click to open and see all the files and click to close it up so you only see the name of what you are downloading.

SABnzbd shows you all the files you are downloading. It can be helpful at times to see what you are downloading especially when you have a bad/corrupt file and then as an example there are no par files to recover it, then you can search online to download this file, hopefully to fix the problem.

Believe me I have done this several times…

The thing is, the good files should all highlight in a light green color so you can see they are good and the bad ones showing up in a light red, to let you know this is a bad file…

I hope you will please implement something like this, or at least show the files the way SABnzbd, since I know that Lottanzb is just a front end…

THANKS
