SABnzbd Forums

Hello SABnzbd developers,

Thank you for producing such a great client.

I see that there are apps for both iPhone and Android.

How come there isn't an app to control SABnzbd from Symbian devices? (i.e. nokia and others)

Symbian is fully open source, which agrees with your philosophy (it's even more 'open' than Android); it runs python (pys60) which you guys are familiar with; and there are more Symbian users than any other platform!

I and many other users would appreciate if you developed such an app.

Regards,

Vinny

The apps for iPhone and Android are made by independent developers.
If no one takes the initiative to do a Symbian app, you're out of luck.
The team has its hands full with SABnzbd itself.

we have a project at college, we're to study an open source software and make changes to it. i've decided on Symbian, a mobile operating system, especially used by nokia. i'd like to know what exactly i can do with the source code. how do i manipulate it? i need a detailed explanation anout symbian^3 and how to use it. Btw, i'm planning to use python as the language, but am comfortable with both c and java.

This isn't a Symbian discussion forum, so you'll need to look elsewhere for help.

Good luck!

You don't need "the source code".
Mentioned phone apps are user interfaces that connect to a SABnzbd instance running on another system.
They use SABnzbd's web API (somewhat poorly documented here: http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/api )
It's up to you to learn Symbian
