myNZBs - Why won't it work?

Post by Doju »

I'm running it on my iPod touch (iOS 4.3) with SABnzbd+ running on my Mac mini (OS X 10.7.5) and it will not seem to work.

I have my host as what www.whatsmyip.com reports, my port as 8085 (SAB runs at localhost:8085), I have no password on SAB so I don't have that enabled, and I put in the API key with HTTPS off.

What could be wrong? My Mac mini is connected over wireless to my time capsule router.

Did you setup port-forwarding in your router?

No, but as I only want to access it locally I didn't believe I had to. I've had it set up before without port forwarding.

Some routers insist on treating the use of your public IP within WiFi as external access.

If you only want to access on / from your LAN, you don't need your public IP address as reported http://www.whatsmyip.org/ .

Instead, use the local IP address of the system running SABnzbd, probably something like 192.168.x.y, or 10.x.y.z

If you don't know the OSX's device IP address, this could help:

1) on your iOS device, in Safari type as URL <macmininame>.local.:8080
2) On your iOS device, you could install a Bonjour browser (like http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/discover ... 41017?mt=8 ) ... that should probably show the OSX device.
