I just tested this plugin yesterday and was extremely impressed. My only problem was the IMDB lookup. It looked like it was downloading all the info but XBMC never displayed any posters (I tried all the poster sizes). I had no issue on the TV side. All the TV posters displayed as intended. Is anyone else seeing this issue? Is it a known issue? I was using Dharma Beta 4 on Windows 7 x86.

It is a know issue, but myself and maruchan have been way too busy with life to get back to it yet. It is on our list of things to do/look at, but we just need a moment of sanity in order to get to it.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll just disable that feature until a new version of this plugin is released. Great work!

The thumbnail thing still confuses the heck out of me. It's worked perfectly for me for months now on both OSX and Windows 7 (don't use Linux, so I have no idea there), but it seems like it's an issue for everyone else. :confused2:
I haven't looked into it too heavily, as I've been distracted with work and the few other plugins I started developing. Now that I/others have written plugins to view most of the online content I frequently watch, I would like to return to the SAB plugin and work out some of the issues and possibly implement some new features.
As an aside, a few months back I experimented with writing streaming functionality into the SAB plugin. Basically, it started extracting a multi-part RAR archive and, if it hit the end and the next file hadn't finished downloading, it would wait and check periodically for the next RAR to become available and then resume extracting. XBMC would start playing the partial video file that was extracted.
I got the basics working under OSX, but Windows 7 did not like me messing around with files that were being written to. I got frustrated and put the project on the back-burner. If anyone is interested in helping me implement such a feature, that would be great. I know LtChambers created an NZB streaming add-on awhile back, but it used features of XBMC that have since been removed (MPlayer has been replaced by DVDPlayer.)

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I use XBMC in portable mode (perhaps a permissions issue?).
I've played around a bit more with your fine addon and I have a question re: different NZB providers. I notice that when using NZBs.org, a TV and Movie search option appears. That is a great feature. Unfortunately, the same option isn't available to NZBMatrix.com. It's too bad because NZBMatrix is usually more up to date and has better selection. Is it due to the different API's? If it isn't possible to add searches for NZBMatrix, can a Music search be added to NZBs.org?

I've been wanting to add a NZB matrix search as well. I can look into other category search too. I'm super busy until then end of the month. I'm planning on using some of December to make all these smaller changes to the plugin.

kricker: i edit the settings.py for my personal use (custom rss and category names), which works now very well. when your plugin will be updated, the settings will be overwritten.
maybe you can change the behaviour for customized settings so i won't lose all my customizations? as i said, i need the rss feeds AND custom category names.
can you keep this in mind for the next update?
- kricker - 2010-11-13 15:56
Yup. That is also on my to do list.

Well, I played around with the settings.py and managed to get a basic search working for NZBMatrix based on the NZBs.org syntax. If anyone wishes to customize their settings.py, here they are (the categories may need to be tweaked for personal needs):
{'name':'NZBMatrix - TV Search', 'url':'http://rss.nzbmatrix.com/rss.php?page=details&subcat=6,41,7&term=%s', 'category':'tv'},
{'name':'NZBMatrix - Movies Search', 'url':'http://rss.nzbmatrix.com/rss.php?page=details&subcat=2,54,42&term=%s', 'category':'movies'},
{'name':'NZBMatrix - Music Search', 'url':'http://rss.nzbmatrix.com/rss.php?page=details&cat=Music&term=%s', 'category':'music'},

Thanks for the leg work. I'll get those in the defaults.
