SABnzbd Forums

I am new to SabNZB. Is there a practical way to log on and queue up jobs that you’ve found on your iPhone or iOS device? Should I instead donor via VNC or another full fledged remote software? I’m struggling to understand why SabNZB even has a remote function.

Would be nice to queue up some jobs remotely while non out and have some down time to peruse the index sites.

Thanks

If you use indexers, use the Cart function that they have. From the indexer you can add jobs to your cart and then the cart has a dedicated RSS url. You can then configure the RSS feed (see Config) for the cart.
This way SABnzbd will check every X minutes (default 15) if there's new stuff in your cart and then download it for you.

The remote feature is useful for when you are at home to view the queue from any device or if you configure it correctly with a proxy or port forwarding to see the queue also when you are remote.
