SABnzbd 0.6.15 (ARM)

Description

SABnzbd is an Open Source Binary Newsreader written in Python. It's incredibly easy to use, and works practically everywhere. SABnzbd makes Usenet as simple and streamlined as possible by automating everything we can. All you have to do is add an .nzb. SABnzbd takes over from there, where it will be automatically downloaded, verified, repaired, extracted and filed away with zero human interaction.

Requirements:

ReadyNAS Platform: ARM
ReadyNAS Firmware: RAIDiator 5.3.2 or better

Requires:

• Python 2.7 For this add-on to work,the Python add-on has to be installed first!

Installation

• For generic add-on installation instructions please see Add-On Installation

Please Note

• Due to the limited CPU and memory resources available on the ReadyNAS ARM line the throughput of SABnzbd on the ReadyNAS may be significantly lower than what you may be used to from running SABnzbd on your client computer. That's not a problem with the software itself.

Configuration:

After installation of the add-on, SABnzbd's web interface can be accessed by typing http://<ip of your NAS>:2708/ in your browser's address field. You will be presented with the setup wizard:

After choosing your language and clicking on "Start Wizard" you'll be taken to the theme selection.

If you want to protect access to the SABnzbd web interface, enter the credentials on the next screen. Important: If you opt to use HTTPS here, the port on which the interface is accessible will change to :9090 once the wizard is finished!.

The next step is important. Enter the credentials to access your usenet providers news service. If you fail to enter proper credentials, the wizard will continue but you'll be redirected to the wizard setup on each access to the web interface until the credentials work! (so: don't use the ones from the screenshot, please. They won't work.)

If you have an account with one of the two listed nzb search engines, you can enter that on the next screen:

Once the wizard is finished SABnzbd will restart itself. It will also present you with a screen where it tells you on what URL to find the web interface in case any of the port settings have changed:

Oce you made it to SABnzbd's real web interface, you may wish to change the location of downloaded files.

As you can see, SABnzbd will place files into the "download/complete" directory. Since this is already symlinked to your "Media" share, you may leave that as is. If, however, you want to change the location, make sure to use the /c/<name of the share>/<folder>/.. syntax. Also check that the destination directory is accessible for the "admin" user because that's the account SABnzbd is running under. If you want to make downloaded files accessible by every user on the NAS don't forget to set the "Permissions for completed downloads" to "777" (without the quotes).
