SABnzbd Forums

Hello,

Is it possible to edit the name of the server that is displayed on the config > servers page?

For example: news.newshosting.com is displayed. If possible can it just be newshosting?

Sab seems to default the name to whatever the host is. I tried editing the .ini file, and restarting Sab, but it just reverts the .ini to the host again.

I ask as I have a couple accounts to the same service (server) and I would like to clean up the names displayed on that page.

OS X 10.10.1
Sabnzbd 0.7.20

Currently not because the names are the index for the byte counters.
We may change this in the future.
You can change the names by directly editing the sabnzbd.ini file.

Thank you for the reply.

I tried editing the .ini file, it did not reflect the change on the web page after refreshing.

Assuming this is the correct line from .ini: name = news.newshosting.com

If I restart Sab after changing the ini. it is reverted to the host name.

This is how it works for me:

Run SABnzbd, fill out a newsserver, and save.
Stop SABnzbd.
find and edit sabnzbd.ini. Find the part with '[[...]]', and change that. Save & exit the file
Now start SABnzbd again

The stuff from the '[[...]]' will get copied into the name= part. The host= part is the FQDN that will be used to actually look up and access the newsserver, so that should be a valid FQDN as provided by your news provider.
Example:

Thnak you for that, that indeed worked!

I know its a little thing, but it helps me out.

Thanks again.
