SABnzbd Forums

Hello there,

I scanned the first few pages of this forum and found no advice. Please forgive me in case this is a double post.

I am using FF with sabnzbd. My main nzb source ist http://nzbindex.nl. When I find what I was looking for, I click "download", a "save as" window opens and suggests me to open the file with sabnzbd. No problem at all.
Interestingly, this does not work with any other site mentioned on http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/nzb-sources.

Examples:
It looks to me that on http://findnzb.net/ you need a different program (that's what is says here: http://findnzb.net/download/). It is also possible (and works for me) to copy and paste the text behind the download link into notepad and save it as an .nzb file. Not very convenient though.

http://binsearch.info does show me a sabnzbd button with the offer to "send to sabnzbd". Does not work for me though. After clicking on the button of one search result, the button turns from yellow to grey, but nothing can be found neither in the queue nor in my download folder.

http://usenet-crawler.com requires me to get a login. Can I do without?



As sabnzbd though mentions on http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/nzb-sources that "They all work with SABnzbd perfectly fine so long as they generate NZBs", I am a bit helpless and confused. Thanks for any advice. And sorry about mixing topics.

And Merry Christmas everyone!

When you install SABnzbd you can choose to associate NZB files with SABnzbd.
This should trigger SABnzbd whenever you "execute" an NZB file.
Some browsers (like Firefox) have their own associations for file types
and these can differ from Windows.
"Send to SABnzbd" will only work if you have setup external API access
and told the indexer how to reach your SABnzbd.

Other than that, you can also install browser add-ons that will send NZB files to SABnzbd.
One is nzbdstatus for Firefox and Chrome.

thanks for the advice, shypike. Ass all those things more or less seemed to work and I already had nzbdstatus installed, I checked for other add-ons. Seemingly, I had two add-ons installed (the other one being sabnzbdFox) and they seemed to be in each other's way.
Everything is good now, thank you.
