NZB to queue.xml transformation

Hello all,

I was just wondering if someone with XSLT skills has already created a 
transformation from NZB to BNR's queue.xml format.

It could be used for semi-automated downloads (until a support for reading 
NZB files from command line is added).

Why ?

Is it too hard to load them in by hand ???

Why do people automate/script things they do on a computer? Is it too hard 
to do them by hand? :-\

Personally, I like to be able to do both.

Without meaning to start a GUI/CLI debate, some things
are better done using a GUI, and others are better done
using scripts.

It isn't that it's "hard" doing something by hand, it's 
that at times automating a task takes away the need to be 
sitting at the computer and/or reduces the number of steps 
needed to accomplish that task.

Take, for example, a (not so) hypothetical situation that

RE: NZB to queue.xml transformation

If no one else does it I can. It possibly won't be until after this week.
Got a huge project that is going to be demo'd this week and its still got
some work left. It shouldn't be too hard though. I've not looked into the
format of the queue.xml or the NZB formats so that'll take me a little bit
of reading. I'm assuming that the NZB format is XML so I just need to know
the document structure so that I can get at the information I need and spit
out the correct document formation for the queue

That would be great! Both formats are not complex at all, so it really 
should be easy for someone with decent XML/XSLT knowledge. I'm just 
beginner, so it would be a challenge for me :-P.

The NZB structure is described at 
http://docs.newzbin.com/index.php/Newzbin:NZB_Specs
The queue.xml structure is described at page 130 of BNR Advanced User's 
Guide ( http://www.bnr2.org/BNRAdvancedUsersGuide(beta14.0).pdf )

Since the queue.xml contains also some info about used servers, it won't be 
possible to convert just and only the NZB data, but it will require some 
sort of "external input" as well. But that can be sorted out by either 
command line parameters, or by reading this info from an external 
configuration file.
Either way, I believe it will be still quite easy task... and a very nice 
step towards BNR (semi)automation.

After all, the same thing can be then implemented directly in BNR and make

I load it all as per norm, close and just use my normal cron job to run
start BNR3xx.bat at whatever time I want ...but thats just me.

How to set multiple servers

I want to use 2 servers one for headers only and the other for
articles only I set this using server mode for each

For the first server (headers only) it works but the second server
(articles only) doesn't attempt to download articles using
message-id's retrieved by the first, is there something elsewhere to set ?

I see in the guide the possibility to export/import nzb file but it
doen't work too even I check "Try downloading by message Ids..."

Any idea ?

Do both work when set to normal, and can they each pull from their own
server ...so you know that the settings you have used are valid.

Also what priority (server access pref's) settings do you have each server
at, I would expect that they need to be the same as there are only two and
doing their own jobs.

Yes both work when set to normal and can pull from their own server, I
have the default priority 0 on each server, articles go in the queue
but    no download
