Hi,
I have a ton of RSS feeds setup - probably a couple hundred individual items spread out over multiple categories.
Is there a way to import that data into 1.0.2 for Mac?
I'm trying it out on my El Capitan laptop before installing onto my main machine which I hope to upgrade to El Cap in the coming weeks.
Ok thanks,
John

All RSS settings are in the file sabnzbd.ini ... which often is hard to find to OSX users ... it's in /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support/SABnzbd/sabnzbd.ini ... with Library a hidden folder on OSX... :-(
Once you find that file sabnzbd.ini, you can do two things:
1) ADVICED: Stop SABnzbd, copy the whole sabnzbd.ini from the old machine to new machine. When you start SABnzbd on the new machine, SABnzbd might complain about directories not existing. You have to solve that.
2) HARDER: Stop SABnzbd, only copy the RSS-part in the old sabnzbd.ini into the sabnzbd.ini on the new machine.
For 2) you need this information:
In sabnzbd.ini the RSS block starts with
After that you will find several blocks like
Code: Select all
[[TestFile BigBuckBunny]]
pp = ""
enable = 0
name = TestFile BigBuckBunny
script = ""
uri = http://www.nzbindex.nl/rss/?q=TestFile+BigBuckBunny&sort=agedesc&max=25
cat = ""
priority = -100
filter0 = "", "", "", A, *, -100, 1
The RSS block will end with the next [<blabl>] (but NOT [[<blabla>]]) block. In my sabnzbd.ini that's

Thanks so much! You just saved me hours of retyping!
Note: My RSS block didn't end with anything, it was at the end of the old sabnzbd.ini file and it pasted to the end of the new ini file.
For reference you can reveal the Library folder on newer Macs by holding down Option while clicking Go on the Finder menubar
Really appreciate the help and quick reply. Now for a few days of testing before putting all of this on my mission critical machine.
