SABnzbd Controller:

[chunk_1970]

This script allows you to control SABnzbd from your XBOX.

It also has support for several nzb sites...

Script has been posted on xbmcscripts and also on my website http://hometown.aol.com/fylands/ were you can also see screenshots of the script running..

[jimg]

Incredible, can't wait to get home to try it.

[chunk_1970]

Apologies to people not using the MC360 skin as you will not get a correct display. I have just implemented Nukas excellent guibuilder and re-skinned the MC360 display and am now creating a PM3 skin and a default for people using neither of these..

Hopefully I will release them later today...

ALL MC360 Skin users will see the display properly only nonMC360 users are affected..

Cheers..

[chunk_1970]

I have just posted an update on xbmcscripts and also on my website for the updated version that now has specific support for MC360 and PMIII thanks to the guibuilder script written by Nuka..A default skin will be loaded if your not using the two specific ones..

Enjoy.

thanks for this great script. one issue i have is using either newzbin browse or search mode it returns a limited number of results, while i can understand limiting the returns for browse mode it seems to me it would be better to make the search results user definable to match the users newsservers retention, an example would be using your script to search for "xbmc" finds 1 matching post but using newzbins search set to 70 days finds 28

Are you a premium member or just a standard member. The reason only one entry is returned is because at the moment no username/password is used to access NewzBins which is why only limited results are retrieved..

If you can let me know what type of user you are and what if anything you think would be good to add. This script is very young at the moment and my experience of NG's is the same as this was primarily written as a request from someone else..

[wayland]

well i have premium accesss although im actually part of the editors user group. as for features i was going to suggest a autoload folder like sab's blackhole folder, then people could use linksboks to loads nzbs from sites that are not included in the script (i was hoping to be able to use it to retreive my bookmarks from newzbin but it does not seem to like the site).

i have never used them myself but there are atleast two other similar nzb grabbers hellanzb (http://www.hellanzb.com/trac/) and ninan (http://www.ninan.org/modules/news/) have you considered adding support for them?

If you have a standard account on newzbin.com i could see if one of the admins will transfer some of my credit into it for you if it would be helpful, i think they will do it as they have done it for people in the past but i wont be around to ask until the end of the week.

Updated to Version 1.2:http://xbmc.org/forum/images/smilies2/shocked7fl.gif
:shocked:

* Split up code so that the majority of the functions are now controlled in nzbs_c.py and the default.py is primarily responsible for the GUI/Dialogs and Config information.
* Removed Page Navigation from the list and re-located the options to the Y and B Buttons. Y will display Next-Page information and B will display Prev-Pae information (if required)
* X-Button has been re-labeled to perform a Refresh when viewing the SABnzbd Queue or History.
* X-Button has been re-labeled to initiate search when browsing any of the NZB sites.
* Queue Button now has additional options when focused. Y = Pause Downloads and B= Resume Downloads.
* History Button now has additional options when focused. Y = Purge History and B = Toggle verbose.
* When browsing downloads will now display the current download mode (Unpack,Repair,Delete) when vieing the SABnzbd Queue.
* Empty details are now allowed for SABnzbd username/Pasword. (Requested).
* NewZbin Username/Password can now be configured. This is optional for the controller but if added will use the preferences that have been set on Newzbin ie, retention etc (Requested).
* When Modifying Usernames/Passwords it will automatically display the current value with an appropriate heading.
* Usernames/Passwords for each site are now requested one after the other rather than having to be selected individually.

Available Now from My site or xbmcscripts.com when it has been approved..

[chunk_1970]

If anyone is interested in having their local language setup for the controller then please let me know.. I have listed the strings/words that need to be converted if anyone is interested...

Thank you again for working on this project, it has been very usefull. I don't suppose it would be possible to display the info files commonly attached to newzbin files also the comments section at the very end of the post could be of use as well.

As it stands right now sure I can search and find a posts that I've searched for but it is generally difficult to tell if it is something i really want to download.

[chunk_1970]

I will look into that.

[mcgoober]

Can't seem to get it to connect to my computer?

I put in the info (192.168.2.103, 8080 port) and i cant connect. "socket is not connected"???? I have the port open in my router, and sabnzbd IS open on my computer..

Looks like its a great script, once i get it working that is.

[mcgoober]

hmm now i cant seem to get to my queue, or view my history.

I get to a screen that says "Parsed Entries" and it just sits there, until i do an IGR.

Are you using the default template as it has only been configured to use the original template supplied with versionv 0.2.4.

I am currently working on a total re-write to attempt to make the application bullet-proof..

[pleo]

I would also like to say thanks. I was about to start writing a similar application for hellanzb, but gave yours a try and decided it was worth using and saved me a bunch of time!

I would agree with jimg, however, about adding additional information about search results from newzbin. I took a look at your code to see how you obtained the information from newzbin. It seems like it would be pretty easy to alter your code to work with newzbin's newer v3 site, which does display more information on the search results page.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

[flamez]

Looks like this script is broke when i updated to the lastest SVN. It hangs at the start of the script and says it cant find the skin file. I can switch back to previous build and works fine.

[chunk_1970]

New version just released. Bear in mind that I have done nothing to this except ensure that it loads up in the latest versions of XBMC. I have not really checked anything else as I dont have newsgroup access anymore so I cannot really check any of the main functionality of any of the sites have changed..

Good Luck..

[flamez]

Thanks for updating this script! I installed it like i have in the past and updated my SAB version to the latest and now when i start to have your script login it hangs after Login Finished showing on the screen and freezes. I am using today XBMC SVN ( I build my own daily ) Any ideas i have made sure that my settings all match like in the previous version of your script.


Thanks again!

[flamez]

Help!

I have installed the latest Sabnzb client and i have installed your version 1.5 xbmc script and I have the latest SVn as of today of XBMC and i have entered all the same info i have used in the past and after i run the script and pick a site to access it just says... Finished Login and hangs. Any ideas what could be happening? I really want this script to work.

Thanks

[chunk_1970]

No sorry, All I did was update the original script so that the gui would work with latest versions. As I mentioned before I dont have newsgroup access anymore so unfortunately my interest in this is very low. It probably needs a good re-write to make it similar to the way my new torrent-X works.

I am hoping someone here with python skills and an interest in newsgroup downloads will take this project on but no one has responded. There is one guy who is looking to make newsgroup downloads built into XBMC but that may be some time..

Im sorry but the code is such a mess that it would take alot of time to go through and fix what may be wrong with it.

[flamez]

Well thank you so much for all your hard work. I do hope someone will pick this up and keep it going.

[officechris]

This script was the best thing in the entire world! It completely opens up a world of possibilities in media centers! I really hope someone picks this back up and gets it working! I have no time to or else I would! I get the "finishing login" error lockup as well :(

I'M BEGGING YOU! :)

[chunk_1970]

I have started some prelim work on getting this up and running but I will only be able to do so much. Im using my Torrent-X script and just creating sabnzbd as a seperate module..At the moment I have got it displaying nzbs and username/password access seems to be working which is alot more than the current controller anyway..I dont really know how much I'll get done and when but dont expect too much..

[flamez]

This is great news! I wil not bother you about it! I hope you can get it working and if you need someone to test it let me know. I will try to send you a paypal donation as soon as i get some cash.


Thanks so much...

[chunk_1970]

Can All you guys let me know what versions of Sabnzbd you are using..As from what Ive seen both versions do vary a bit regards the way the HTML is formatted..

[gzusrawx]

I'm using 0.2.5

[flamez]

2.5

[chunk_1970]

Ok just an update heres what I got so far:

- Displaying NZB's in queue along with the % complete.
- Icon colours for NZB state:
'Repair'
Health = 4 ## Green
elif Value == 'U' :
Tor[Nm]['Option'] = 'Unpack'
Health = 2 ## Blue
elif Value == 'D' :
Tor[Nm]['Option'] = 'Delete'
Health = 3 ## Yellow
else :
Tor[Nm]['Option'] = 'None'
Health = 1 ## Grey

[chunk_1970]

Oops ..Ignore my previous post.

- Options Delete and Change state:None,Repair,Unpack and Delete.

Thats how far I've got so far..

[flamez]

Sounds great! Hey is tvnzb down? Are you going to add any more nzb sites to pull from?

Thanks again

Flamez

[chunk_1970]

At the moment Im just getting the SABnzbd module sorted and functioning stable..

Once thats done I'll move onto creating modules for the Sites..
PM me with any sites that you believe are required..Especially if they dont require user-registration..

[chunk_1970]

it was down when i tried a test this am..

[chunk_1970]

What version of N*wzbin do people use. I have had a request for v3 and if people people use it by default then I will add this instead.

When asked I wasn't originally interested but as it reports the filesize and the original does not it might be more prudent to add v3 instead.

Any comments?

[geot]

I've been using V3 for quite a while now.

Don't know if this is of interest to anybody for ideas for future features, but I've been using grease monkey plug for firefox.

http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/

with this you can use the SAbtab and SABNZBD+ Amazon

http://userscripts.org/scripts/search?q=sabnzbd

very nice features :)

[chunk_1970]

My v3 access is working with full directory/page navigation and search functions. So things are looking good at the moment..

[flamez]

Was using V2 but i can also move to V3 sounds good to me as well.

[chunk_1970]

I dont think it makes a difference,maybe someone can confirm whether or not a member of v2 can use v3 or vice-versa without having to re-register.

[gzusrawx]

you can use either without having to reregister.

[chunk_1970]

Download the Initial release BETA v1.15 of Torrent-X. This also includes the support for v3 newzbin site.. Download link on my sig..

[DReffects]

This script allows you to control SABnzbd from your XBOX.

It also has support for several nzb sites...

Script has been posted on xbmcscripts and also on my website http://hometown.aol.com/fylands/ were you can also see screenshots of the script running..

dude... NICE!! i've got it working but there are a few bugs:

- the script only connects with the second try to sabnzb, azureus won't work at all. for sabnzbd i have to click twice on the download-button to get a result. it keeps refering me to some sort of log file - where can i find this?

- browsing newzbin and the other sites work, adding something to the download queue not. again it tells me to look into some sort of log but i am unable to find it

keep up the good work :)
daniel

[DReffects]

sorry for doubleposting but there doesnt seem to be an edit function.

azureus works, had a typo ;) well the nzbd issue still remains ;)

thanks!

[chunk_1970]

The sabnzbd module is only in testing at the moment and there is no code in there for adding nzbs to the queue from other nzb sites..

The logfile is the xbmc.log file in the main xbmc directory but you have to have loglevel 1 setup in the advancesettings.xml file in the Userdata folder to get proper logging...

ah thanks, that clears it up :) is the sabnzbd controllerscript you've done still working btw?

[chunk_1970]

Most people have reported that the original Sab controller script keeps hanging so I wouldnt use it..

Can you post the xbmc.log as much as you can so I can see whats causing the problem. I dont get any problems on my version..
