NZBqueuer: Mac app for opening NZBs

[qwerty967]

Note: NZBqueuer doesn't work with SABnzbd 0.4.9 or later. Just get SABnzbdX. It's better.

Download NZBqueuer 1.1

NZBqueuer is a Mac app that allows you to add NZBs to your SABnzbd queue by double-clicking on them or dragging them to the dock icon. It also works for zip and rar files.

NZBqueuer uses the API instead of a blackhole directory, which means it will work for remote SABnzbd installations. Give the Dashboard widget a whirl too.

Configuration
If you are not using the default settings and need to configure the hostname, port, username, and/or password, customize the following XML and save as .NZBqueuer.plist in your home directory (~/.NZBqueuer.plist).

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
 "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>host</key><string>localhost</string>
	<key>port</key><string>8080</string>
	<key>user</key><string></string>
	<key>pass</key><string></string>
</dict>
</plist>

This is the icns file used in osx app build.

Thanks for this.

Just one question for the original devs - wouldn't it be easy to add such a function the the main app ?

Why not..., i'm the team member in charge of osx app. If you want, we can work together to add this feature.
I'm using sabnzbdgui http://www.pwsoftwareproductions.nl/sit ... sabnzbdgui (apparently down) which integrate this feature and others...

It's not the official dmg just a copy i have...

Thanks for the links to the icons guys. I was looking for someone to make a custom icon because my photoshop skills are so bad, but I'll just stick with the sab icon for now.

I would love for this feature to be integrated into the main application. That would negate the need for me to use NZBqueuer, but I'll leave it up for people who don't use local installations of SABnzbd.

Anyone can take a look at the source. It's a 16-line python script, compiled with Platypus, that calls curl to upload files through the api. It's located in NZBqueuer.app/Contents/Resources/script.

Is there a universal version of that app? Some of us are still rocking the PPC on the desktops.

Unfortunately not.
If I remember correctly it doesn't even run on Tiger.

But running it from source isn't that bad - at least the program is worth the trouble ;-)

NZBqueuer doesn't seem to be working on my MacBook Pro It bounces once in the dock and then immediately quits. In my console log I see "10/27/08 6:53:55 AM NZBqueuer[547] NSDocumentController Info.plist warning: The values of CFBundleTypeRole entries must be 'Editor', 'Viewer', 'None', or 'Shell'."

The exact same issue occurs on my iMac as well (which is the machine running SABnzbd).

I also set up the .NZBqueuer file in my home directory, but that hasn't made a difference.

That's what happens on my computer too.  Launching the app by itself won't do anything. You must drag files onto NZBqueuer's icon. Or have the default handler for NZBs be NZBqueuer and double-click/Command-O the NZBs.

The settings files has to be named .NZBqueuer.plist

New version: NZBqueuer 1.1

Changes:
Visual feedback
Compatible with Python 3.0 (hopefully)

Ah, I see. It works perfectly.

And thanks for the v1.1 update for people like me that don't read. ;-)

GREAT!!
Any News?
I would pay 10$ for this app.

This app doesn't work with SABnzbd 0.4.9 or later. I don't intend to release a version that does. Just use SABnzbdX. It's better.
