markus101 Posted January 15, 2009 Author Share Posted January 15, 2009 I was looking at that before I started with unRAID, I'd love to rock hellaVCR, but getting PHP going turns me off on the idea of running it on unRAID, although the step-by-step instructions posted on this form make it sound not too bad. I like the RSS feed in SAB, but they do download a lot of extra junk sometimes, its more a pain managing it than the waste of bandwidth... Quote Link to comment
smino Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Does nzbget do RSS feeds? I just started to use sabnzb and I love those rss feeds. It is saving me tons of time. Has anyone done a comparison out there, feature for feature? Bubba any chance that sabnzb might become a standard bubbaRaid in the future, assuming everyone votes for it? Quote Link to comment
bubbaQ Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Bubba any chance that sabnzb might become a standard bubbaRaid in the future, assuming everyone votes for it? What gave you the impression this is a democracy and people can vote? NZBGet ain't broke, and I'm not adding two programs to do the same functions. Plus, have you even looked at the dependencies for sabnzb? No way that will fit on BubbaRaid. Quote Link to comment
gbdesai Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Sabnzbd+ is slick, I'd love it to, but I respectfully understand your concerns... Quote Link to comment
NAS Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I have been a big advocate of Sab. It got to the point of being "set and forget" quicker than nzbget but nzbget has basically caught up. I am now porting to nzbget however to be a proper replacement alot of perl scripting needs done. Sure i could use one of the bash scripts but I just dont want to use multi thousand line bash.

jbaile38 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hello, I was following Romir's posted steps and am having trouble getting things working. When I try to extract par2cmdline I get the errors listed in the this pic. (You have to zoom to read the terminal) http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/P61MKW7q9nLksELFlhprZw?feat=directlink Then when I start SABnzbd, and try to open the html controls on the ports I assigned I get what you see in the second picture. Notice the cherry logo in the url bar. (Rightmost firefox window, ignore red pants guy) http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/CA4waaJYzFoYz8jNROIHXQ?feat=directlink I've put the necessary lines in my go script, just confused at this point. I've been through the steps three times with the same result so I don't think there is anything that I'm just missing. Any help is appreciated, Be well, Justin Quote Link to comment
markus101 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 For teh issue with Firefox, it looks like everything is working you just have to go to the SABnzbd directory: http://tower:5191/sabnzbd Nnot sure about the other error, looks like a permission issue - other than that I'm not sure. Hope this helps somewhat. -Markus Quote Link to comment
jbaile38 Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Well, that's two posts from me over two issues that are from me not reading close enough or mistyping. Sorry everyone, sometimes it's the obvious stuff that gets me. I'll read more carefully from now on. Again, thanks for the quick reply. Justin Quote Link to comment
markus101 Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 No Problem - glad you got it sorted out. We all end up asking a question or two that we solve on our own, out of curiosity, what was the issue with the par2 utility? -Markus Quote Link to comment
jbaile38 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Sorry about the delay in response. In all actuality I made a lot of changes that day, and being new to linux I wasn't entirely sure what I was doing. Call it accidental success, but things somehow worked out. Thanks again, Justin Quote Link to comment
markus101 Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share Posted February 21, 2009 No problem. Trial and error is the name of the game when you're new to Linux and trying to get something working. I've made many mistakes getting this setup for the first time on Linux. Again glad its working and happy downloading. -Markus Quote Link to comment
Romir Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 SABnzbd+ has been updated to 0.4.7, and it's working fine for me. Just extract the new version over the old one. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sabnzbdplus/SABnzbd-0.4.7-src.tar.gz Quote Link to comment
markus101 Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 I've been running the trunk version of SABnzbd (Will be version 0.5 one day), it works flawlessly as well. The only thing you need to add to the previous install is SQLite3 (they now have the history in a DB instead of some weird file). Enjoy, Markus Quote Link to comment
Romir Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I don't think it's been mentioned, but it would be a good idea to keep the log directory off of the flash drive. There's a lot of writes going to it over time. The trunk build is working even better than the recent releases for me. Versions .46 & .47 would crash half the time I updated the news server configuration. That was the only issue I had and now the trunk build accepts the changes instantly without issue.

markus101 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 No it hadn't been mentioned, lead me to remember that you will also want to move the cache folder and admin folder off of the flash. The admin folder is only for version 0.5+ as it contains the sqlite db that SAB uses to hold the History. This gets written to after every download and grows, not as bad as the logs, but it should be moved, teh cache dir keeps the history (0.4.x) and the queue info. I believe the above mentioned folders can be changed via the WebUI with the exception of the admin folder, you have to look in the sabnzbd.ini file, for the following line: admin_dir = admin and then change it to a directory of your choice (off of the flash). -Markus Quote Link to comment
Romir Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I hadn't noticed the admin folder Markus, thanks for the tip. It's also worth mentioning that any go script program that uses the cache drive should be put towards the end of the file. The cache drive isn't immediately mounted and available when the go script starts executing. If Sabnzbd can't find the its cache folder, then it won't be able to load its queue. This happens for example when booting an incomplete array. All of the drives remain unmounted when the array is stopped. Setting a memory article cache to 75m would also cut down on writes to wherever the cache folder is stored. 75mb will fully hold a 50mb file and any overflow that might occur when writing the complete file to disk.

markus101 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Very good points, I setup a drive outside of the array which seems to work quite well (Going to get a real license soon I hope = a cache drive). I had my article cache set to 200M before...if you don't have at least 1.5GB RAM, do not set it that high. I was having issues with SAB shutting down, turns out unRAID was killing python to save itself. Ended up adding a SWAP file to my out-of-array drive and it seems better now (at least no issues so far). Set SAB to article cache of 100MB until I get more RAM. -Markus Quote Link to comment
Romir Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I got around to compiling yenc-0.3 last week after getting annoyed that Sabnzbd keeps starting up with "yenc module... NOT found!". The module isn't required so maybe Sabnzbd only looks for it in case there's a newer version than whats built in. Or maybe this module decodes faster. I don't know what the deal is but now it loads with "yenc module... found!". That's good enough for me. http://www.bibliognome.com/yenc-0.3.zip Copy yenc.py, yenc.pyc, _yenc.so, and yenc-0.3-py2.5.egg-info from the build directory into /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages I've used it for a week now without any problems.

btlupin Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I've been running the trunk version of SABnzbd (Will be version 0.5 one day), it works flawlessly as well. The only thing you need to add to the previous install is SQLite3 (they now have the history in a DB instead of some weird file). Enjoy, Markus I tried to run 0.5, but ran into problems with the sqllite3. Where is the sqllite package to be placed? What is the name of the package? Thanks, Roland Quote Link to comment
markus101 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 @Romir - Awesome, I was just looking sat SABnzbd saw that error when I was testing something. It'll be nice to silence that error. @btlupin - I used this package: sqlite3-3.6.4-i486-1kjz.tgz I'm using this package: http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=12337 Hope this helps. -Markus Quote Link to comment
btlupin Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I get the following error after installing sqllite and starting SABnzbd.py Sorry, requires Python module sqlite3 (pysqlite2 in python2.4) Try: apt-get install python-pysqlite2 Any ideas what the problem is? Thanks, Roland Quote Link to comment
markus101 Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Weird, I haven't seen that issue, to confirm you're using Python version 2.5.2? You can check by running the following: python -V I only remember having to add sqlite3 and then I had no further issues. -Markus Quote Link to comment
btlupin Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I am running Python 2.5.2. I downloaded 0.5 from svn, maybe I got the wrong version or missed something. Did you use the config file from 0.4.7 or start with a new one? Roland Quote Link to comment
Romir Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I had to start over with my config so I ran .47 with on port 86 (ex. launch with -s 192.168.1.11:86) and the trunk on port 88. It didn't take long to copy and paste everything over. I've tried to replicate this on my test machine but haven't been able to. The trunk version starts right up after installing the sqllite3 package. I was using an older version, sqlite3-3.4.0-i486-1kjz.tgz, but the latest works for me as well. Edit: nm Quote Link to comment
