Upload without Compression

[Zach99f]

Hello sir

I hope this message finds you well. First and foremost, I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent tool you've developed. It's been incredibly useful for my Usenet uploads.

I would like to kindly request a feature that would greatly enhance the functionality and convenience of ngpost:

Feature Request:

• Folder Upload without Compression: The ability to upload the contents of a folder directly to Usenet without compressing them into an archive. This feature would allow users to upload all the individual files within a folder as-is, maintaining their original structure and formats.
• Automatic NZB Creation: It would be incredibly helpful if ngpost could automatically generate and save an NZB file for the uploaded files, making it easier to share and manage the uploads.

This feature would streamline the process of uploading multiple files and ensure that they are readily available in their original form. The automatic creation and saving of the NZB file would also simplify retrieval and distribution, aligning with the needs of users who manage large numbers of files.

Thank you for considering this request. I believe it would be a valuable addition to ngpost and would greatly benefit the community. I look forward to any updates or feedback you may have on this.

Best regards,

[Abu3safeer]

Hello @Zach99f
I have seen these requests several times, I don't think this will be implemented anytime soon.
I have made a python script (exe for windows also) that does what you say, check them here:

Now I downloaded the .exe now when i run it inside the ngpost it wont run , run it using cmd it wont run , tried without the ngpost folder it wont run . can you please explain how to run it please

[Abu3safeer]

You need to follow those naming to work
https://github.com/Abu3safeer/ngPost-bulk/blob/e0043814fbec3f936b3b5c62d446810b7e4361ca/main.py#L9

first create a folder called files, this will have files and folders to upload
second create a folder called nzb, here you will see nzb files when upload complete
thirds create a folder called ngPostv4.16.1_x64, inside it you need to put ngPost and all it's configuration.

when done, just put some folders and files inside "files" and then run the exe, it should handle everything for you.

[DEVUVO]

I did , It will not run it open an cmd screen and it disappeared

Open an issue on my repo.

Hi @Abu3safeer
I had a quick look at your script, basically you create a new folder tree with nzb for each individual files right?
Is this @Zach99f request?
Or shall we have the folder tree structure and all the files straight in one main nzb?

[Zach99f]

Hi @Abu3safeer If we have the folder tree structure and all the files straight in one main nzb that will be excellent 👌

[Abu3safeer]

Hello @mbruel
when using ngpost gui with folders, and forces to rar the files, you cannot post each file individually.
Use case of my script like:
--> Show name:
----> Season 01
------> EP01.mkv
------> EP02.mkv
------> EP03.mkv
----> Season 02
------> EP01.mkv
------> EP02.mkv
------> EP03.mkv

I want to post each file with his own nzb, this is the use case that ngpost gui does not support.

my script goes on every single file, and post it with it's own nzb file while keeping the folder structure the same as original, so you get:
--> Show name:
----> Season 01
------> EP01.mkv.nzb
------> EP02.mkv.nzb
------> EP03.mkv.nzb
----> Season 02
------> EP01.mkv.nzb
------> EP02.mkv.nzb
------> EP03.mkv.nzb

[Abu3safeer]

Hi @Zach99f , you can do that in the normal ngpost command, it should handle the folder and files inside it with no additional effort.

[Zach99f]

Thanks for the tip! But can we get it under a single nzb for each folder instead?

The point is to upload folders without compression and get a single nzb ss I said earlier

@Zach99f Sure, create a folder called files, and put all folders inside it, the use this:

@echo off

for %%f in ("files\*") do (
    echo Processing file %%~nxf...
    "path\to\ngPost.exe" -i "files\%%~nxf" -o "nzb\%%~nxf.nzb" -c "path\to\ngPost.conf" --gen_par2
)

echo All files processed.
