Can we have better integration/API with nzbs(dot)org?

[shypike]

What's the issue with nzbs.org ?

It is supported, see http://sabnzbd.wikidot.com/rss-sites.
Make sure you read Footnote 2.

Best you're going to get as far as integration is rss, which we seem to already have. Deep integration like what we have with Newzbin would require them to expose an API, which it doesn't seem they do. If they exposed something like DirectNZB then we could implement it.

I've already configured the app to use the RSS but am just wondering if it could be better. Being able to control sabnzbd by setting up lists/carts/RSS feeds with queue priority control on entire lists/individual items esp for stuff like episodes on release would be brilliant if it could be done.

Priorities on RSS feeds will be in 0.5 and will work with any RSS source.

nzbs.org also provides RSS feeds for custom searches, and more interestingly their "mynzbs" page. You can add the RSS feed for mynzbs into sab and any item you save to your cart will be added into SABnzbd. This means you can add files while away from your PC.

Now this isn't as good as the newzbin bookmark feature as there is no API for removing the file from your cart when done, however it should still be useful.

"Priorities on RSS feeds will be in 0.5 and will work with any RSS source."

Brilliant! Thank you!

Yes, the cart and mynzb functions work well and as you said, a method of dismissing the files after pickup would be even better.  At the moment, the global search is the only RSS feeding into sabnzbd so there is only one feed required for all my searches. Together with the backup nzb and non-duplicate switch, that ensures only the latest article is picked up. My wife has her own account for her own flicks there that is picked up by sabnzbd. The new coverpage option is a great feature for her there as its easier for her to pick out her favourite articles from the mass of txt files. Just wondering if sabnzbd could pick up on the small thumbs and display them whilst on queue. Whilst it wouldnt serve much purpose, it does look good and makes browsing a little easier. She has given up trying to log in into my download server and keeps getting me to push her pickups top of the queue (says logging in and using remote management too much of a hassle.) Hence you understand why I am asking for all this.

PS. I noticed you only have a paypal system for donations. Mind emailing a method of visa or account for wire-transfers. Some ppl are not compatible with paypal. Keep up the good work!

Why does she need to login and do remote management?
She can interact with SABnzbd from her own web browser, how difficult is that?
Am I missing something here?

Ermm.. maybe its Safari/Firefox but we cannot see the end of the queue from the browser. If the queue is longer than 13 lines.. the rest do not show. Bug?

on top of that, i still find it easier to set priority options on the site.

No worries if its too much trouble. We'll figure something out or wait for something better to come along.

Firefox is 100% supported, all of the team uses it.
Safari is always a bit of a challenge.

I'm not aware of any queue display problems in Firefox,
can you be more specific?
Which browser do you use on the server?

[dcp]

The rear window is Safari whilst front is Firefox. Default browser on the server itself is Safari which can be viewed fine if using remote desktop. Its only the webserver part when viewed from outside that is the problem. Same issue whether viewed from LAN or WAN.

Do you have this issue when using firefox/safari in local (on the mac where SAB is running) or remote (not local network but from outside) ?

[dcp]

Issues does NOT arise if viewing on the station itself or viewing from remote desktop.
Issue arise only from viewing from LAN or WAN via the server IP address.

I've followed the instructions on nzbs dot org, but my downloads are still not showing up in sabnzbd.
I added the dl=1 option and when I test the rss feed, clicking on the title gives me an nzb.
RSS check time is configured too.
