Hi all,
I'm developing a new GUI for SABnzbd:
NZB Download Deluxe. It runs under Linux, Windows and MacOSX. Today, I released the first version 1.0. Here are some screenshots:
All infos and downloads on my website:

I hope, you like this little app and it will simplify your computer life!
Please write me your opinions!
New ideas, suggestions, improvements, criticism and other feedback are welcome, please use the ticket system and forum on the NZB Download Deluxe website!
Thank you!
Kai

I tried the commands below on my Lucid 10.04:
Code: Select all
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dynup/nzbdd
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nzbdd
The last command gave an error "E: Unable to locate package nzbdd" ... I checked
https://launchpad.net/~dynup/+archive/nzbdd and it says you only published for Oneiric (not Lucid). Correct?
I downloaded NZBdd-1.0-Linux.tar.bz2, unpacked and ran it ... hey, it's a complete (Qt?) program, not a skin for SABnzbd? Impressive! Very interesting ...
BTW: I tried the change the API key, but I can't edit it? EDIT: after filling out username & password, it seems your program fetches the API key. Correct?

Some more remarks, using your program NZBdd for my remote server:
After adding a NZB, it does not appear in the queue overview (I tried both via IPv4 and IPv6)
When I click on "Downloads", it opens the *local* Downloads folder.
The start.sh has no x-bit set
Removing a failed download from the top of the queue puts the failed download at the bottom of the queue.
Clicking on the column names does not result in ordering that queue

I tried the ppa method on my Oneiric, and it seems to go wrong:

What's this? A problem with my 64-bit Oneiric?

Thanks for the detailed test!
Yes, at this time for Oneiric only.

Yes, it's a native Qt application.

Yes, the app fetches the key before communicate with SABnzbd via API!

That's right, it's the "Completed Download Folder" from SABnzbd settings.

You're right, I will fix it!

Sorting is disabled, sort order comes from SABnzbd.

I guess I played too much with the settings, and now nzbdd starts up but shows no queue/history, and I cannot click Settings; only About is clickable.
Is there a settings / ini file I can reset?

Yes, the config file is: ~/.config/NZBdd/nzbdd.conf

Thanks, that worked.
New remark: nzbdd apparantly polls SAB's webinterface each second. See below. That's 388 kB per second = 0.388 MB per second = 3.8 Mbps. That's quite some bandwidth for accessing remote servers (LAN/WAN). Can I lower that to once per 30 seconds by chaning Update Speed from 1000 (=microsec?) to 30000?

Running on my 64-bit Oneiric, I get the message below:
Code: Select all
sander@R540:~/Downloads/NZBdd-1.0-Linux$ ./start.sh
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.
... and then it runs OK. However, clicking on Add gives an old-skool file browser.

Yes: Settings -> Main tab -> Miscellaneous -> Update speed (value in ms, see ToolTip)!

Sorry, I cannot reconstruct the problem, because I don't test the app on a 64-bit machine!

I changed it to 15000, quit nzbdd, started nzbdd again, it started with an empty queue, SAB got no API requests at all, and ... after a few minutes I got a segmentation fault:
Code: Select all
$ ./start.sh
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.
Segmentation fault
So I removed the ini, started nzbdd and it worked again.
I then changed the Update Speed to 2000, stopped nzbdd, restarted it, and ... same problem: no queue nor history in nzbdd
So I remove the ini again, blablabla, change Update Speed to 800, quit and started ... same problem.
So my hypothesis: nzbdd doesn't like the changes in changed ini it self created, or it doesn't like any (other) setting for UpdateSpeed ...

This is ini file that causes the problems
Code: Select all
$ cat nzbdd.conf
[General]
UpdateSpeed=800
ColumnResizeMode=0
PostProcessing=3
[SABnzbd]
Host=::
Port=8080
Username=
NeverExit=0
Password=
[MainWindow]
x=264
y=212
width=800

Ah, I found it: nzbdd doesn't like the middle part with [SABnzbd]. Maybe the "::"? After removing that part, things work better. The ini is now:
Code: Select all
[General]
UpdateSpeed=15000
ColumnResizeMode=0
PostProcessing=3
[MainWindow]
x=264
y=212
width=800
height=400
So one update per 15 seconds. That's better. However, after starting nzbdd, it takes 15 seconds before the queue / history is filled out. My expectation is that nzbdd should fill out the queue/history, and *then* wait 15 seconds. Not the other way round.

Confirmed: nzbdd halts on the "::" it fills out itself in the ini. After manually changing it to 127.0.0.1, nzbdd can start. So, two bugs:
1) correct handling of ::
2) first filling the queue/history on the screen, only then waiting/sleeping for the time UpdateSpeed in msec.
Code: Select all
$ cat nzbdd.conf
[General]
UpdateSpeed=15000
ColumnResizeMode=0
PostProcessing=3
[MainWindow]
x=428
y=275
width=800
height=400
[SABnzbd]
Host=127.0.0.1
Port=8080

NeverExit=0

Okay, I will fix this in next version, I'm currently working on version 1.1!
Thanks for testing and bug reports!
