SABnzbd Forums

Hello all ,

I would likt to pause and resume sabnzb with a http command , so I can remotely pause-resume with my home automation.

I have heard this was possible, anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks,

Honestly I haven't tried working the URLs yet, but I'm looking for "timeleft:" and other output arguments. So maybe.... api?mode=queue&timeleft ... (not sure if I need a "=")? Again, I haven't gotten to any of that yet, but I'll get to it. I bring that up because a lot of the query data you might want comes out of the "Full Queue output", for instance "paused":false. But, as along as "pause" -> "pause" won't resume (or "resume" -> "resume" won't pause), you shouldn't need the query data (not really).

All the commands you could ever want :

Good morning!,

Thanks for the reply.
It is working although I needed some time to figure out how to insert this API key and how to insert the command than. But after several trial and error , I got it working.


Thanks,

For future reference:

You had to set the output?

Think it works without the output set.
But the first part of the api manual mentions how to place the key, isn't it clear enough?

Hello again,

I bought a new computer installed the new version of SABnzb , but I can't get this to work anymore. Anyone has an idea why?

I inserted the new ( longer) API key in this:
http://192.168.68.20:8080/sabnzbd/api?o ... mode=pause

Where 192.168.68.20 is the computer running Sabnzb. The answer in a webbrowser is: 192.168.68.20 refused to connect.

The other thing i noticed , the computer now says: http://127.0.0.1:8080/sabnzbd/config/general/ where it used to say something like "localhost............
Do I need to set anything in the security TAB under "general"

Many thanks,
Cor

In that tab you should fill 0.0.0.0 for SABnzbd Host.

@ Safihre:

Thanks , I got it partially working now.
When I insert this in my broswer: http://192.168.68.20:8080/sabnzbd/api?o ... ode=resume
It is working.
When I use the below in my home automation it is not working , before , with an older version and on my older computer it was working like this. Anyhting else I need to do?
luup.inet.wget("http://192.168.68.20:8080/sabnzbd/api?o ... ode=resume")

Many thanks,
Cor

Is that the right IP adres in the URL (http://192.168.68.20:8080/sabnzbd/api?o ... ode=resume)?
So when you enter that from any other computer or device, it works?

Ah , I see you point .... on the local computer which runs sabnzb it works . I can not check with another computer right now , since I am working on that computer with teamviewer. Next week when I am home again I will try it with my notebook. With my homeautomation device It doesn't work.

Back in a week :-)

Thanks,
Cor
