Remote access

Post by sherlock »

Hi all,

I recently helped my brother to install sabnzbd on his htpc (along with SickBeard and Couchpotato) following the wizard. After that, we installed sabnzbd as a service, following this guide: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/sabnzbd-as-a-windows-service

It worked fine, but then we tried accessing via Mediadog which didn't work. We found that we couldn't access sabnzbd remotely, neither via mediadog nor via another pc in our network. (FYI; we could access Sickbeard remotely)

We think we've made a mistake in one of the first steps of the wizard by not making it remotely accessible and only viewable from this pc.

Is there any way we can alter this? Is it a setting we can change?

Easy: in config general, change SABnzbd Host from Localhost into 0.0.0.0, and restart SABnzbd
