Merlins-Portal RSS feed.

Post by I do, I do »

Is there way of intergating Merlin's RSS and Sabnzbd?  It doesn't have direct links to nzbs, but there is enough information in the url to reformat into the correct nzb addresses (without scraping).

Seems a pretty popular site, just wondering if I'm missing something obvious.

If you want them to be supported, complain to their developers to make their RSS feeds more useful.

I've been clicking around a bit in Merlin's Portal, I cannot even find their RSS feeds.

Okay well that answers the question.  Other sites are good enough, was just hoping.

It looks like a deliberate choice to bolster/maintain their community, so good for them.

Once you're logged in the nzb section has a million tickboxes with rss/feed icons next to them.

Cheers anyway.

I see the icons now :)
Still, not much chance of support.
The URL requires user authentication, which isn't documented.
Looking at their site and the lack of information on the subject suggests that they
are not in favor of automated retrieval.
We're not going to reverse engineer their methods just to outsmart them.
If they don't want to be supported by SABnzbd, that's their business.
Maybe their (paying) users can convince them otherwise.

We do support nzbmatrix.com who's operators are willing to support automated retrieval.

Again cheers for looking.  Well above and beyond what I expected.

And NZBS.org, and practically every other host that has direct NZB links in their RSS feeds.
