SABnzbd Forums

I have been using this Gui for some time : SABnzbdGUI

Works really nice and pretty handy.

made by jer00n , some comments from him :

Like many people I’ve been using SABnzbd, the webbased Usenet downloader, for a while because it’s so light (other than, for example, Newsleecher). Another pro is that it’s totally free (which Newsleecher is not - I wonder why the Newsleecher team expects someone who downloads binaries from usenet to pay money for a program…).

But there isn’t really a way to control SABnzbd very easily. To pause it you have to start your browser, point to localhost:8000/sabnzbd et cetera.

Therefore, I have made a small tool that runs in the Windows taskbar. Click it and a popup-menu will appear that easily lets you pause, resume, start and stop SABnzbd. As a bonus some other handy features like downloading progress (in %) and direct links to your download-directory. I gave it the beautiful name ‘SABnzbdGUI’ or sabnzbdgui.


Edit .. contacted the author .. but no luck so far
Seems that it's not working with Plush , anyone tried with default ??

Can't get this working with Plush?

I got maybe a bug, sabnzbd is on remote pc and, if i choice on my pc (not remote) it stil ask where the sabnzbd.exe file is

[10:46:29] SABnzbdGUI started.
[10:46:29] [EXCP] Access violation at address 00433734 in module 'sabnzbdgui.exe'. Read of address 00000000

Hi,
Indeed there are some (big  ) problems with getting SABnzbdGUI to work with SABnzbdplus and especially when you use fancy templates like Plush. However, today I've been working on it again (after a long time) and I was quite successful in getting it working again. Using the xml-output eliminates the problems that were caused by most templates. Unfortunately some variables can't be used anymore (for example ETA), I will post a feature request about that so the guys from SAB+ can put it in their next version.

The next version (1.0!) of SABnzbdGUI will be released in a day or two I guess, so keep an eye on my website (www.jer00n.nl).

Hi JER00N , good to see you are working on it .. nice job.
Looking forward to new version

pair of dimes wrote: Jer00n good to hear from you -- just so you know you can determine the ETA by doing math with the mb/mbleft/kbpersec vals.

Haha, why didn't I think of that? 

OK, 'been busy with it and I just put it on my website available for download: http://www.jer00n.nl/software/sabnzbdgui/sabnzbdgui-10/ !

I posted on your website, but will post here too.

I get an error when trying to configure a remote connection.

It always asks to locate the sabnzbd.exe file

Nice addition for those among us running on a Winbox 
Will test the new (beta) release when i get home 

I am having problems with this and every other add on. I have tried using different interfaces but I always get the same errors:

They can never connect to the server.

Here is what the log displays:

[3:06:59 AM] Can't connect to remote address. - Socket Error # 10061
Connection refused.
[3:06:59 AM] [EXCP] '' is not a valid floating point value
[3:07:07 AM] Waiting for server to go online. Hit Retry Connection in the menu to reconnect.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
