Add downloaded NZB files to NZBGet - An Extension Script for NZBGet

AddNZBs

Add downloaded NZB files to NZBGet - An Extension Script for NZBGet v24.0 or higher from NZBGet.com

If the current download being processed by the script contains NZB files they will be pushed to the NZBGet queue.

If the NZB file names do include an unpack password in the format nzbname{{password}}.nzb the password will be passed over to NZBGet when pushing the NZB file to NZBGet.

If a category was assigned to the currently processed download, this category will be passed over to NZBGet as well.

After the NZB files have been pushed to NZBGet they can optionally be deleted from the download folder and if this results in empty folders they can optionally be deleted as well.

NOTE: This script requires NZBGet v24.0 or higher and Python 3.x to be installed on the system running NZBGet.

See the NZBGet documentation for information on how to install extension scripts for NZBGet.

Manual installation instructions (until the script is added to the official NZBGet Extension Manager)

1. create an empty folder named AddNZBs inside the NZBGet Scripts folder (ScriptDir)
2. clone this repository into this folder or manually place the AddNZBs.py and the manifest.json file into this folder
3. open the NZBGet settings page and click on the EXTENSION MANAGER menu item
4. activate the extension Add NZBs by clicking on the green "Play" button (if you see an orange "Pause" button, the extension is already activated)
5. go to the options page of the extensions by clicking on the black "Settings" button or on the menu item ADD NZBS below the menu item EXTENSION MANAGER
6. set the options of the extensions according to your wishes
7. do not forget to save the settings and to reload NZBGet!

addnzbs.py's Issues

Adding an extension to the NZBGet Extension manager

I tested your extension and did a code review and I really like it and I would like to integrate it into NZBGet Extension Manager, but to ensure the quality of the extension we would like to add additional pipelines for tests, releases and static code analyzers. We already have pipelines for tests and releases, but we would like to tweak them a bit and write documentation.
You will have to do practically nothing from your side. When the pipelines are ready, you just copy them to your repository and they will automatically start working.

And it would be nice if you had some unit tests ready but I think it's not mandatory and it's up to you.
There is a simple example of unit tests written for ExtendedUnrar extension you could use.

Thank you for your contribution!
