SABnzbd Forums

I use the api/rss feature to connect my newznab with sabnzbd. BUT you have to use an api key generated through newznab.
My nzb-url looks like this: [http://localhost/getnzb/iwantthis.nzb&i=1&r=myapikey]
I don't use sickbeard and/or CP and I didn't need to edit my .htaccess file for this...
P.S.: iwantthis = a random string to the nzb filename
Hope this make sense :-)
Good luck!

@Nick123

Probably due to a 'newer' php/pear version installed
mine is PHP 5.4.8 and PEAR Version: 1.9.4

In every function in the files:
lib/binaries.php
lib/nntp.php
lib/backfill.php

the PEAR::isError() has to replaced with: in others:
etc. etc.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Any chance of getting this to run on a router using Tomato and optware? I'd love to get this running on my router since I have SickBeard running on my WD Live media player and would love to have NZB indexing done "in house". Ever since NZBMatrix closed shop I've been having withdrawal symptoms.

Otherwise I have an old laptop that might be perfect for this.....

Newznab has rather hefty storage, cpu and bandwidth requirements to do a comprehensive backfill. Headers are small, but when you realize groups may have billions of billions of headers available, they add up.

assuming that all people have minimal sysadmin skills, why doesn't everyone run their own index and why would anyone pay for access to an index?

I have a hard drive attached to my router, so storage isn't an issue. I'm more worried about memory usage.

Again, I think you're drastically underestimating Newznab's resource requirements. To do a full backfill I've been seeing people discussing it taking a quad-core server on a gigabit connection weeks of running at max speed. Trying to run it on a router would mean new headers would likely be posted faster than it could download and parse, so you'd never catch up even with a really limited retention.

But hey, you're welcome to try! Just like you're welcome to try running SABnzbd on a router.

Hi can anyone help with the error below



Thank You

I have, but it's a resource hog My WD Live is running nzbget. Couldn't keep SABnzbd running on either machine. nzbget works pretty well though

Hi all,

I too have to show my love for newznab, I came across it just in time!!

SABnzbd+ & newznab = Pure win!

Anyone using apache22 on FreeBSD may like to note that you likely only need to put the below lines in your /usr/local/etc/apache22/httpd.conf file and ignore the Virtualhost lines in the Install.txt

• <Directory /usr/local/www/apache22/data/newznab/www/>
  • Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
  </Directory>

After loads of fiddling I finally managed to install newznab, but now the update scripts don't seem to accomplish anything.

This is what happens:
Updating: 7 groups - Using compression? No
Processing alt.binaries.boneless
Group alt.binaries.boneless has 50,001 new parts.
First: 3938357308 Last: 3940357308 Local last: 0
New group starting with 50000 messages worth.
Getting 20,001 parts (3940307308 to 3940327308) - 30,000 in queue
[/share/Qweb/newznab/misc/update_scripts] #

Anyone have a clue why it terminates for no apparent reason? I could really use some help!

Thanks

I'm running newznab+ on Ubuntu Server 12.04 and it has been running well for the last few days. Getting lots of releases, perhaps too many, and there in lies my issue. I am polling headers only for specific categories and I have been manually removing the releases from the other categories every day or so. Is there a way to modify the update scripts so that releases that get categorized in to certain categories get automatically deleted? So for example if I didn't want releases from the PC category (category 4000) to show up in my index at all, could it be automated to remove those releases on update?

edit: Found the answer for anyone that might be interested. (thanks to sy on newznab chat on #IRC for all the help)

Just add the following line to /var/www/newznab/misc/testing/deletereleases.php
Replace xxxx in the syntax above with the number of the category that you wish to empty and run the script with the following command:
To have the code run automatically with your screen script simply add the above line to your /var/www/newznab/misc/update_scripts/nix_scripts/newznab_screen.sh file.

Now you have a clean index with only the categories that you want being shown.

Can anyone help me install this?
I am stuck here at the install check list. It says I don't have Pear installed but when I type Pear in terminal I can see that it works.
I am trying to get this installed on a Synology Ds212+

Please help.

Synology is a tricky one....first you need ipkg and then do the whole set of installations.....google is your friend...not with newznab and synology

I got it to run under Windows, but it doesn't seem to actually index anything. Is that the problem with the free version, or did I do something wrong?
