Newbie help with NinjaCentral

Be gentle. Long time torrenter, dipping toe into NZB

I have sabnzbd 4.5.2 running on Windows
My provider is NinjaCentral which doesn't seem to have the usual 563/119 access protocols and is rather an HTTP based service.
I've got Prowlarr set up with Ninja Central as an Indexer and sabnzbd as a download client - both check out OK with Prowlarr.
I can search NC for some media and it will add it to the sabnzbd queue and it creates a server entry for NC however get the following error.

Code: Select all

Cannot connect to server https://ninjacentral-dot-co-dot-za/ [Server name does not resolve]
(-dot- added to embedded link for sake of posting)
So, has anyone got any experience of using NC and what am I doing wrong. Happy to provide mode details if needed.

NinjaCentral is an indexer. That's for finding NZBs, not for actually downloading them.

For downloading in SABnzbd, you need a newsserver. For example Newshosting. Exclusive discount shown on right upper corner of https://sabnzbd.org/ (unless you use a ad blocker .... then open https://sabnzbd.org/ in your webbrowser in incognito mode)
