Compiling for Windows

Currently I am unable to compile these scripts due to changes in the code making this compilation too difficult for me :(

Installing python for Windows is not difficult and I would recommend using the source version of these scripts.

This page is primarily being used as a note to myself so I can more efficiently compile these on major updates without having to re-discover all those little issues ;)

If you want to compile your own windows .exe's from current dev branch, in order to roll out onto other computers, do the following:

Requirements

Python 2.7.3

Pywin 32

pyInstaller

TorrentToMedia.exe

  1. compile using pyinstaller with

     C:\Python27\python.exe C:\pyinstaller-2.0\pyinstaller.py -F -w C:\nzbToMedia\TorrentToMedia.py

 -F = single file, -w = suppresses console

  2. In order to get full functioning you need to include the following folders/packages in the same directory as TorrentToMedia.exe

     autoProcessMedia.cfg.sample (from this repo)

 nzbtomedia\extractor (folder from this repo)

 ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe (required if you want to transcode only)

nzbToMedia.exe

  1. compile using pyinstaller with

     C:\Python27\python.exe C:\pyinstaller-2.0\pyinstaller.py -F -w C:\nzbToMedia\nzbToMedia.py

 -F = single file, -w = suppresses console

  2. In order to get full functioning you need to include the following folders/packages in the same directory as nzbToMedia.exe

     autoProcessMedia.cfg.sample (from this repo)

 ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe (required if you want to transcode only)

  3. For NZBGet, you will need a .bat wrapper that will allow you to call this exe, but also allow the parameters to be set in the NZBGet Web UI. (you will note that the first 2 lines actually call the script and return the exit status, while the remainder is just the comments from the start of the nzbToMedia.py script.

     nzbToMedia.exe
 exit /b %errorlevel%

Required 3rd party binaries

The extraction (7zip.exe) and the create hidden process (chp.exe) binaries are included in the "extractor" folder of this repo as they are relatively small.

the following binaries can downloaded from the links below:

ffmpeg.exe

chp.exe is flagged by some virus scans as "potentially harmful" due to the fact that by design it is intended to run processes that are hidden to the user. I believe this is safe, but you can choose to remove this file and the extraction will still work but 7zip will always pop-up a window while it is extracting.

debug work for compiling current dev branch

add files C:\nzbToMedia-dev\libs\guessit\ISO-639-2_utf-8.txt and ISO-3166-1_utf8.txt to libs directory in nzbToMedia

edit C:\nzbToMedia-dev\libs\guessit\fileutils.py and change the last def to

def load_file_in_same_dir(ref_file, filename):
    """Load a given file. Works even when the file is contained inside a zip."""
    path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]), 'libs')
    return u(io.open(os.path.join(path,filename), encoding='utf-8').read())

and add

import sys

at the start of the script, before compiling.

edit C:\nzbToMedia-dev\nzbToMedia.py and C:\nzbToMedia-dev\TorrentToMedia.py and change the last 2 lines to

if __name__ == "__main__":
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv))

edit C:\nzbToMedia-dev\nzbtomedia_init_.py and change line 9 to

PROGRAM_DIR = os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])

All should now run...
