Set custom API key?

Post by riallin »

Running 0.7.11 on Mac OSX 10.8.2, app installed from dmg, wondering how to set a custom API key for my server:

I run chrome, and have SABnzbd+ installed on at least two different computers. I run the extension SABconnect++ and because I am logged into chrome, it ensures that all extension settings are the same across the board, meaning that I can't have SABconnect++ running on computer A having a different API key than the SABconnect++ and therefore SABnzbd+ on computer B.

I have tried simply editing the API key under settings, cutting-and-pasting a new one in it's place, saving a whole bunch of times, but upon restart or refresh on the settings page the "edit" is lost.

(Tried using the search function on the forum, and even searching "api" left 0 results, which I know is wrong because I see at least two topics that have API in their title, so my sincerest apologies if this has been answered before)

Setting a specific API key through the UI is not possible.
You'll have to stop SABnzbd and edit the sabnzbd.ini file directly.
