  1. when content in a folder gets added, most newznab sites can check the content and use the folder names, anyway to obfunct the folder name as-well as the rars?

  2. a option to spread the parts over random newsgroups, e.g you add a big list and the app chooses e.g 5 random groups from the list to upload them to,

for 1 I will need a bit more explanation to exactly understand what you are asking, right now the post has 2 upload methods:

For 2, this is already possible since version 0.8.0, specifically this section in the folderconfig.ini:

# What newsgroups to upload to.
# When entering more than one add a pipe character between
# Like a.b.multimedia|a.b.test|a.b.videos
TargetNewsgroups=alt.binaries.multimedia

So if you want 5 newsgroups there you make the setting TargetNewsgroups=alt.binaries.1|alt.binaries.2|alt.whatever.3|alt.whatever.4|alt.whatever.5

Each segment will end up round robin spread over those 5 newsgroups, only the nzb itself has a pointer to all the segments over these newsgroups.

hi ok so for

1.the issue is the nfo that is in the folder i think, they can get the name from that, so a option to not up the .nfo would be great

2.i already use the feature you mentioned but i was talking about it using different newsgroups per upload, a bit like the random poster name

e.g the app will pick e.g 3 newsgroups from a list of many and upload to those, then on the next release in the list it will pick another random 3 newsgroups to use, and so on

thanks

another feature request :)

grabbing screens using FFMPEG and adding the jpg to rar1 before being uploaded

boranblok commented 5 years ago

I will reject that request, something like that should be a preprocessing script.

on the other requests,

do not put nfo's in the watchfolder if you do not want to upload nfos

random groups out of a big pool of uploads would be possible, but would introduce variability and hard to debug, however it is intresting enough that i'll take a look at it.
