Newspost / Newsmangler

Also, i can cd to the folder. So i don't know why it's showing up like that now.

Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

[cola]

/killer/Desktop/Downloads/Seeking.Justice.LIMITED.BDRip.XviD-TARGET/*

or /killer/Desktop/Downloads/Seeking.Justice.LIMITED.BDRip.XviD-TARGET/*.avi

should work

[kkiller23]

So /killer/Desktop/Downloads/Seeking.Justice.LIMITED.BDRip.XviD-TARGET/*.avi

will make it so that it uploads everything in the folder besides the avi files right?

Also is there a way to make it so that dirname is in the header.

Like in most posters $D will make it the folder name, but it doesn't seem to work in news mangler.

I was just trying to post a 20gb season of a tv show and i got

what does that mean? it's still uploading though so i'm not sure what i should do and do you know if there is a way to pause, stop and start uploads?

I'm sorry for asking so many question. I'm just new and there are hardly any tuts on how to use this program.

Your usenet server isn't giving you permission to post.

What provider are you using?

[kkiller23]

Blocknews, but can you tell me if there is a way to select everything inside a folder besides avi files? Because the

"/killer/Desktop/Downloads/Seeking.Justice.LIMITED.BDRip.XviD-TARGET/*.avi "

makes it select only the avi files, i wanna upload only the .rar and pars files and skip the avis in the folder.

[cola]

Probably can't do that, I'd move the rars and pars to a different folder.

It was working great, but now i get this server when trying to post.

ok, I saw this and had to get out of bed, cause I want it to work for you like it's working for me now!! Freddie posted an update tonight to the git repository, so it fixes newsmangler with newshosting!! anyways here are the exact steps to get yenc-freddie working...

1. Download the module: https://filesharingtalk.com/external/...2xtumje437yca3
2. Extract it: rar e yenc-0.3-freddie.rar
3. cd to it: cd yenc-0.3-freddie
4. Build it: python setup.py build
5. Install it: pything setup.py install
(Assuming all goes well)
6. Edit (in your newsmangler directory): classes/yEnc.py
7. Go Way to the bottom of the file and change:
HAVE_YENC_FRED = ('Freddie mod' in _yenc.__doc__)
to
#HAVE_YENC_FRED = ('Freddie mod' in _yenc.__doc__)
HAVE_YENC_FRED = ('Freddie' in _yenc.__doc__)


That will fix it (Before Fix):
call1 newsmangler # ./poster.py -c sample.conf -f "test please ignore" iso/*

(After Fix):

John, Madcow just updated newsmangler again after my issue post, should this still work for the freddie module?

It was working great, but now i get this server when trying to post.

File "/home/newsmangler/classes/Poster.py", line 124, in post
self.build_article(postfile, article)
File "/home/newsmangler/classes/Poster.py", line 302, in build_article

KeyError: 'generate_nzbs'

You're running this from /home ? post the output of

id newsmangler

and

ls -la /home

Looks like you don't have permissions to create the nzb.
