Growl for Windows Notfication Support

Post by ranova »

In looking for a notification solution for windows, I found that a Growl clone is out for Windows:
http://www.growlforwindows.com

It's list of supported apps is small, but currently growing. I did see this:
If your favorite application doesn't support Growl yet but does offer an API, you can use the growlnotify  command line script or one of the available GNTP libraries to send notifications.

Can anyone attempt to create something to notify growl when a download in Sab has added, started, or finished?

Thanks!

I did once fully integrate Snarl - a growl clone - into SABnzbd, however it was decided no one would use it so it was never added to SABnzbd core. This sort of thing would probably be best suited as a plugin once/if a plugin system does get developed.

You can get simple download done notifications by just using a userscript however, like this python example for growl http://pastebin.com/m525bdb8b

Thanks for that switch. It works well, though the message could be a bit.. cleaner.
I'm very surprised it was decided it wouldn't be used but ..OK

Thanks for showing me snarl too, wow.

Now that growl for windows works with snarl notifications to push you notifications on the iPhone via Snarl, I really thing someone should make a script for sabnzbd for growl  ;D
