Vista Sidebar Gadget

hmm the problem with ip addresses (127.0.0.1 saves as 127001) should be over in the newer versions of the gadgets.
also you don't have to add /sabnzbd after the host address!

Does this solve your problem?
if not i don't understand your question

[Saftlad]

Ok, I'll try to explain it better

I have an external NAS (192.168.254.252) which has sabnzbd installed.  Access to the gui for this is on 192.168.25.252:8800/sabnzbd.  192.168.254.252 is in my DNS entry as NAS

Trying to use the gadget, I have the following entries:

Host: NAS
Port: 8800
User & Password both set.

When I "try connection" I get "Error: Check Settings"

If I select OK, then the gadget sits trying to connect to NAS~:8800, but never succeeds

I've tried making the port "8800/sabnzbd" but that doesn't work either

Thanks

the port should allways be just a number, adding /sabnzbd makes no sence.
can you ping "NAS"?
if not does your DNS works correctly? (you can try altering your hostfile instaid)
can you access http://NAS:8800/sabnzbd?
if you can't connect maybe there is a firewall active?

there could be some caching problem with Internet Explorer. i sometimes can't connect to my host via a hostname. when i choose anther alias of my host it does work. I have this problems with other gadgets two. (tip: you can allso use the computername of the host)

still i think using the IP instaid of NAS should work two. do you still have the problem with the dot's missing in the ip address? (in that case it looks like you are running an older version). try switching from NAS to the ip and back.

if that all doesn't solve your problem you can add me on msn: pieteckhart@gmail.com.

EDIT: did you set your host in the sabnzbd configuration?

host = 192.168.254.252
port = 8800

Thanks for the quick response.

I'm able to ping NAS ok

I never thought to try going to NAS:8800/sabnzbd (I normally just go to through the IP:port as it's an old link from before I set up my DNS)

Having connect through a browser to http://NAS:8800/sabnzbd, (which took a bit longer than normal), it all seems to be working fine with port set to 8800/sabnzbd, but not just 8800

I agree, the port should be just a number, but it works at the moment, so I'm not going to try and second guess why

Thanks for your help

What do you think?
as pair of dimes suggested the job names are now inside the progress bars. This way longer names can still be read.

Update:
In the new version of the gadget you can choose a post processing script
all nzb's that are dragged to the gadget will have that script run after they are downloaded.
I will publish this version soon ( i think this week! )

ps: trying out the convert video to ipod now
works great!

Looks cool.

One feature that would also be cool would be drag-and-drop queue re-ordering within the gadget. It's great to be able to add a new download to the watch folder and see it appear in the queue, but if I want that job bumped to the top I still need to pull up sabnzbd+ itself. Would be much easier to just drag and drop in the sidebar and be done with it

Good idea, i was thinking about this some time. i don't think there is an API feature that allows me to change the job order.
I could POST it in the same way as the regular webinterface does. As for the drag-and-drop ordering this can be done with the script.aculo.us javascript animation framework. I will look in to this for sure.

marry x-mas!

i think its not possible to create a drag-drop sortable queue within the gadget.
BUT! with the flyout it does work. I was planning to implement a flyout anyway.

take a look at this screenshot (still work in progress)

[pieteckhart]

Release 1.0.1.0
Download: http://www.sab.websijt.net/sab.gadget

Features:
+ Job Titles inside progressbar
+ Sortable Queue
+ Default Script

i have chosen not to wait for new API features and do request to the normal interface.

Mini Update:
Version 1.0.1.1: You can allso delete queue items

This new version does not work at all for me. I use localhost port 8080 and it says connected but when I click ok it does nothing.

Your thingy is getting better and better! Keep it up man, it's really appreciated.

[pieteckhart]

This new version does not work at all for me. I use localhost port 8080 and it says connected but when I click ok it does nothing.

check your username/password

it still says connected when those are incorrect.
if it still does not work you may PM me your login info and let me try.

Mine doesn't work also, but I don't have a web username and password in sabnzbd.

Thanks,

And after my high praise, I'm gonna chime in here and say that the new version doesn't do a thing for me either. I get connected, but it stays blank. I log on over the local network.

[pieteckhart]

hmm strange, i will look in to it soon!
