nzbs.org has a bookmarks work-alike feature called "my nzbs". They give you a personalized rss feed for your "my nzbs" cart. Set that feed up in SABnzbd, then remotely log into nzbs.org and add reports to your nzb list. SABnzbd will then pull these items every 15 minutes and the list will automatically clean itself up.

Only downside is that the ui to add nzbs to your "my nzbs" list sucks, but I'm going to start looking into how to fix that tomorrow.

Thanks for this, this is very helpful. I think I am going to use MyTvNZB RSS for my recurring shows and nzbs.org "my nzbs" cart for downloading movies remotely. this way i believe I will retain most of what I loved about newzbin. is there any option to automatically remove items from my "my nzbs" cart, whether it is similar to how newzbin bookmark removal worked, or as a batch once a day? from looking at their site I do not see any option other than manual deletion, not that that is a deal breaker or anything....

the only thing I'm worried about is now having to rely on sorting for movies to strip out the nonsense in the folder names so media browser will still pick it up. I guess I'll be getting familiar with that feature soon.

I don't know if it's of any use to others.  I use a grease monkey script ( by Fusen) for use with TVNZB, what it does is add a Sabnzbd icon to the TVNZB page and when clicked on will send the nzb straight to Sabnzbd.

This morning I regged with NZBs(dot)org and the same Sabnzbd icon shows up on the NZBs.org page and works in just the same way as on the TVNZB page.

Hey guys. I just posted a forum topic about my SABnzbd Automatic TV Renamer. I wrote it to allow easy, automatic querying of TVRage from SABnzbd to correctly name and categorize TV shows. I used to use NZB-TV with Newbin and SABnzbd, and now all I need is SABnzbd, an RSS feed (I'm using TvNZBRSS.com), and my script (it's a .Net windows-only program).

Take a look here:

I've included a lot of documentation (which we developers hate to write).

If you try it out, let me know what you think by leaving a comment on a post on the blog, or if you have a problem or feature request, just click the bright red "feedback" on the web page.

1) Don't post screenshots
2) This functionality has been in nzbdstatus for firefox and sabconnect for chrome for some time now.

ok. Sorry about the screenshot.

Just a word of warning for anyone thinking of handing over money to NZBmatrix for their RSS. Their feeds do not update when the client asks for a refresh. They refresh server side every 25 minutes. It makes the entire service worthless and makes the faster reporting on matrix a bit pointless.

I regret giving them any money tbh and have switched back to nzbs.org again. It's obvious matrix are just in this for short term gain. They take in a large up front fee, need next to nothing in terms of storage space (no headers to deal with) and obviously don't even spend any of their huge income on buying enough processor power to handle RSS properly.

Hardly. They've been running for over 4 years. How much a year would you spend on Newzbin? Multiply that by 10. I bet it's alot more than the £7.00 NZBMatrix charge for the same period. Probably over 10 times the amount.
Newzbin would charge $7.80 for 52 weeks and that was during thier half price xmas sale. The Matrix is only £7.00 for 10 years.
Also Newzbin only had about 350 day's retention where as the Matrix grow with the big Newsproviders.

The term 'retention' shouldn't even apply to matrix. It is just a file dump. You could fit all of its NZBs onto a 1TB drive.

As for the '10 year subscription', do you seriously believe they will still be around in even half that time?

There's nothing illegal about downloading an NZB, even if it links to illegal content.

[puts on tinfoil hat] That doesn't mean you can't get sued for it.  There's also nothing illegal about running unprotected Wifi, downloading torrents, or posting YouTube videos, but all of those can get you sued.

Oh no, can somebody post a link on the exact ruling? I guess Im kinda out of the loop. Thanks for listing some of the nzb alternatives.

Now that tvnzb.com is down (looks closed actually), what do you guys recommend as the best alternative for tv show nzb's and rss subscribing?

Thanks

Dammit, that explains why my RSS has stopped working again!

Second time I have to set up something different - moved from newzbin to mytvnzb recently. Guess it's time to try out Matrix.

At least I didnt lose any money moving to mytvnzb, unlike my 400 days worth of credit on newzbin which is now being wasted on a dead service.
