Newspost / Newsmangler

I updated, even installed the yenc module he has listed to install. Still picking yenc-vanilla, but so far its running without a problem. So I'll keep my hopes up.

It's likely that the yenc type isn't your problem but the connection error that madcowfred is still working on. Further info here https://github.com/madcowfred/newsmangler/issues/7

I think madcowfred has it fixed, he mentioned that he was going to add more debug, but whatever was causing the timeout should be fixed after yesterday's commit.

Thanks for helping me with the fred module. That got newsmangler using it, but newsmangler still crashed with the same error as before

I have seen this error before, can you send me the full command line you're using? I think you're just missing an option.

python poster.py -c 1.conf -f test -g alt.binaries.test /home/cola/test/*

Well I am officially at a loss.. Maybe be good to file an issue with madcowfred and see if he could look into it. Sorry, I am not a python expert or even a beginner!

It's ok. Thanks for all the people!

Can someone show me what i need to install and use newsmangler? I'm rather new to linux so i don't know my way around it very well.

I downloaded a poster pack from one of the irc channels, but it's very confusing from me as it tells me i need a certain version of python or something and i read somewhere that you shouldn't really down grade your version of python on linux.

Any way

that is the pack i downloaded and it comes with a bunch of different stuff, can someone just explain what i really need and how to install this?

download the zip from GitHub https://github.com/madcowfred/newsmangler

extract the files, then in at the CLI use python poster.py --help

oh and edit the config file

does that mean it's good? if it's using python vanilla?

also if i don't wanna post a certain file in a folder i just put *avi etc at the end of the dirname correct?


atleast i had it working... now i keep getting


ERROR: "/killer/Desktop/Downloads/Seeking.Justice.LIMITED.BDRip.XviD-TARGET/" does not exist or is not a file!
ERROR: no valid arguments provided on command line!

here is the command im using
./poster.py -f '[$D]' -g alt.binaries.test -c sample.conf /killer/Desktop/Downloads/Seeking.Justice.LIMITED.BDRip.XviD-TARGET

can someone tell me what im doing wrong now? as it's the same command i used before.
