Newzbin Mobile, a third-party frontend for mobile devices.

how far back is the rentention on the search? I did a test search and it only goes back about 30% to max retention...

I don't believe there's a time limit. If there is one, it's imposed by Newzbin and I can't do anything about it. The only limit in there I know about is that I only pull back 50 results.

(This is because I am lazy and don't want to do pagination, and also don't want to abuse Newzbin too badly)

THX.

looks a bit fucked up in the symbian standard browser (only few days left, switching to the samsung android), because of its standards in displaying forms, but works great!

Hi inpheaux,

I'm using an iphone and the website not fits the iphone screen.

Could you please try to add these headers and see if it fits with android (it works with iphone) ?

Code: Select all

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0"/>
    <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no"/>

Thanks for this useful tool !

[inpheaux]

rAF, try it now. It seems to work better on Android than my old meta tag did, which was this:

Code: Select all

<meta name="viewport" content="width=480; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" />

[rAf]

It's perfect ! thanks

[rAf]

One last thing !
If you want you can add this header to have a icon (57x57) when adding on dashboard (I don't think it works for Android, but who knows...) :

Code: Select all

    <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="img/favicon.png"/>

Please make it work again. I loved being able to queue stuff from my cell phone and will greatly miss it.

On Newzbin it says "Guest Atom/RSS feeds are no longer supported, but HTTP authentication has now been added for easy access to feeds. If you are a maintainer/developer of a script/application that accesses our feeds, then please add support for HTTP authentication if you haven't already done so."

Is adding HTTP authentication difficult?

I feel bad for joining the forum just to ask you to fix monotre.me but it seriously amazing. I have an HTC Magic and it works perfectly. I miss it soooo much! I hope you can find some time to work on this!

[interfacelift]

Put in my vote to make it work again too! It was a very simple and slick solution.

It means I have to actually store authentication info. Before I got away with it because they had that public feed, but now you basically have to prove to me that you're an authenticated user before giving you anything. It also means that I have to store your newzbin login details in plaintext in a cookie, and that you'll have to trust that I'm not going to sit there and scrape said login credentials as you use the site. (I promise I won't, I swear I don't need them)

On the upside, the fact that it'll be using your login credentials means I should get access to the full rss feed (more info to parse!) and I'll be able to make a page where you can manage your bookmarks.

If you were to do this, it would be up to us whether to trust you with our info or not...and if you made a clear disclaimer then it no longer your problem. Would https make this more secure? or just add unneeded cost and complication to your job.

Not a massive fan of sharing my details, but then, I only really keep about 4 weeks of credit in my newzbin account, and I would love a site faster than newzbin lite for my omnia HD.
