Great to see you're back in business! It's been exactly 2 months since I started using your gadget and it hasn't skipped a beat so far.

Keep it up, Piet!

[pieteckhart]

What do you think about only showing the progress bar for the active download, not for the others?

This could be done but won't you need that information? it will be a bit cleaner tough.

Any new version, yet?

Any new version, yet?

nothing ready to be released
lol sometimes i allmost release with my username and password hardcoded in the javascript
i am working on the uploading of nzb's now and its a bit tricky but with the new found code it should not be a big problem.

[pieteckhart]

You need to be sending the full contents of the nzb files through as a post request.

Have a look at nzbdstatus' implementation for a working example, ctrl+f to "uploadFile:" (be sure to give credit if you use it).

i think i allmost edited the function to work with the gadget but i am stuck with:

Code: Select all

this.getPreference('filesToSAB')

on row 964:
https://nzbdstatus.bountysource.com/svn ... tus.js#964

what kind of information is stored in filesTOSAB?
i cant see a getPreference('filesToSAB', ........); anywhere.

this is what the request body is going to look like as far as i know.
what comes below.

----------2436264
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name"; filename="test.nzb"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

(Binary Data)
----------2436264
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="pp"

filesToSAB???
----------2436264--

note the ------2436264 is not correct, i made up those numbers

does anyone know what kind of goes in place of the bold text?

Thanks!

i never knew javascript could do such cool things

[switch]

I believe it is just the post-processing option, from -1 to 3
-1 Default for the category/default set in switches
0 None
1 Unpack
2 Repair
3 Delete

Attached is an example request:

Thanks Switch!

the example was very usefull!
i can now sent to the API
but i ran into another problem!

when i sent to the API i get 500: Internal Server Error.

500 Internal error
The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

Traceback (most recent call last):

i tried to post to a simple php script and got a correct response:

Contents of S_POST Array:
Array
(
    [cat] => apps
    [pp] => -1
    [script] => Default
)

i also tried with only pp leaving out cat and script.

Contents of S_FILES Array:
Array
(
    [name] => Array
        (
            [name] => hancock.nzb
            [type] => application/x-nzb
            [tmp_name] => C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temp\PHP\upload\php4B.tmp
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 254512
        )

)

i use 'name' instead of 'nzbfile', i think 'nzbfile' was used in older versions?

i'm posting like described in the wiki
http://host:port/sabnzbd/?mode=addfile&name=filename.nzb&ma_username=user&ma_password=pass

Thanks Again.

i notice that the referer is set to 'x-gadget:///gadget.html'. but i did set the Request Header.
does the API check the referer? maybe thats the problem.

EDIT: after looking at the code in _cpcgifs.py i think it has something todo with the outerboundary (ends with --)

don't know whats wrong with it because it looks fine to me:

-----------------------------1215540058496
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="name"; filename="Meet Bill.nzb"
Content-Type: application/x-nzb




... bla bla ...

-----------------------------1215540058496
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="cat"

apps
-----------------------------1215540058496
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="pp"

-1
-----------------------------1215540058496
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="script"

Default
-----------------------------1215540058496--

as you can see i did not post the 'Content-Type' and 'Content-Length' part.
this is because i don't know how to get those after sending them (the above is just the contents of the body variable before it is sent)

@Switch: How did you get the neat output as in http://sabnzbd.org/switch/example1.txt ?
(i mean how did you get the first 2 lines? i need those to check if they are set correctly)

if the headers are not sent to the server correctly the boundary is not known.
and that could be the problem for the error? or maybe i am miles away from the solution, would not be the first time

btw: sorry all for spamming this topic with technical information!
i will post a new version once the upload works!

[pieteckhart]

i got it

after the final boundary there needs to be a blank row! so i added a \n and it works

thanks for the help switch! i will give credit to you and the example code once i have an about window

i will make a new release now for you you all test!

[switch]

No worries, glad you got it working.

The credit for the example code should go to Duz, the creator of nzbdstatus. I believe his code is licensed under the GPL.

[pieteckhart]

I was reading on http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/api#toc3
about the feature of the API.

the "Advanced Queue Output" would mean a lot to the Gadget!

i now use the depricated "Simple Queue Output" wich will only show me active downloads.
The new Advanced Output will allso give infomation about finishing Jobs (like when a job is extracting or Checked).

so when the new API gets released i am going to convert to the new Output.

this also means i am not going to implement a history view in the gadget (becouse the information needed is already in the new queue outout).

[pieteckhart]

Awesome, I love the "try connection" button. Uploading multiple nzbs sounds great too.

Can you run multiple instances of this gadget no problem?
Do you have a screenshot of the gadget with nzbs downloading inside of it?

One note, you might want to make the download speed label "KB/s" as to represent kilobytes (kb is kilobits).

yes multiple works great, every sidebar has its own settings variables. but if you restart your computer everything is back to default (localhost:8080 no user/pass). i still need code a way of saving the settings but that would mean that after restarting all gadgets will have the same setting. maybe i could create a workaround.

i will make some screenshots in a few minutes!

oh and your right about the kbs the variable in the JSON string from the API was lowercase so i did not think about is

something else:
i just installed the vista sidebar in Windows XP gadget allso works fully there.

EDIT: Here is the screenshot
