Same problem
Sorry newbie

i looked through the source-code and I think i located the problem, as it says on this forum under the apikey announcement:

If set, the web username and password is still required as well as the apikey. This may change in version 0.5, however for now both the api key and user/password are required.

However in the code whenever an apikey is set it's only the apikey which is appended to the url that is used in automation.

This is what a section of the code looks like now:

if ((SABnzbdStatus.getPreference('sabusername') != '') && (SABnzbdStatus.getPreference('apikey') == ''))
{
fullUrl += '&ma_username='+SABnzbdStatus.getPreference('sabusername')+'&ma_password='+SABnzbdStatus.getPreference('sabpassword');
}
if (SABnzbdStatus.getPreference('apikey') != '')
{
fullUrl += '&apikey='+SABnzbdStatus.getPreference('apikey');
}

i believe it should be changed to

if ((SABnzbdStatus.getPreference('sabusername') != ''))
{
fullUrl += '&ma_username='+SABnzbdStatus.getPreference('sabusername')+'&ma_password='+SABnzbdStatus.getPreference('sabpassword');
}
if (SABnzbdStatus.getPreference('apikey') != '')
{
fullUrl += '&apikey='+SABnzbdStatus.getPreference('apikey');
}

I'll test it when I get home and put up a fixed version if it works (unless the original author is gonna put out a fixed version).

Edit: Tested my solution and it works, you can grab it from the link below:

Is it possible to have a third icon showing that SABnzbd is FORCE downloading (sab 0.5a2)

I cannot confirm the above. Everything works fine here, without any adjustment needed.

I have this same problem.  Running 1.0.7 nzbdstatus, tried the fix above (1.0.8-fx), same problem.  Running SABnzbd 0.4.9

I just removed my login information in nzbstatus and the problem you guys described went away. Maybe this helps

yeah the problem is only occuring when you are using username and passwords, my fix works on my mac but not on my windows vista machine, i have no idear why, don't quite understand why, would be nice with some input from the original author

After having the same problem myself, I had a look at the code and the sabnzbd API and it looks like the sabnzbdStatus author has misinterpereted the API. If you're using usernames and passwords, these still need to be sent in addition to the API key. At the moment in the nzbdStatus code, it only sends the username and password if the API key is blank, hence the send to, refresh, timer etc. not working if you have a username/password set.

I've created a fixed version of the code available here :

This works for me on (running XP) with username/password and the API key set. Any probs, let me know, just thought this might save others the hassles I've had

I understood the API just fine, the problem is the login system is rather bad and I needed to rewrite my code to handle it and the apikey properly.  That is what's in 1.0.9 (among other things).

Hi Duz, love this little app! works great for me One thing which you mention is your first post is Monitoring several SAB daemons, do you still have plans for this?

Thanks again

Yep, I have a mostly working version that can handle multiple servers.  It's been on the back burner while I put the APIkey changes into v1.  If you stop by the irc channel (under the Help tab) I  can give you a link of a test build of v2.

hey duz, have tried to get hold of you on irc but cannot seem to catch you. Any chance you could send us the link to test build v2 for you.

thanks

Here's the current build of v2, no guarantee it's in a working state.

Stop by the irc channel if you need help getting it running.
