NZBGet on the PCH/NMT Manual and F.A.Q.

[digitalera]

The built in client is NZBGet version on the c200 is 0.6.0. using NZBGet Web Interface v 1.3.

You can get to it on port 8066 once you have installed a hard drive and installed the NMT apps and started the NZB service via the setup menu. For example to look at my NZB interface i go to http://192.168.0.161:8066 and see:
http://tiny.cc/hbGu1

Very nice.

Hi,
I've received my NMT today (HDMI not working it was out for a repair)
Everything (Transmission, Torrentwatch) seemed to work but I couldn't access to NZBGet web interface.
So I installed the latest one (0.7.0.342) with CSI.
But it is still not working, I get an error when trying to access to http://popcorn:9999/NZBget_web/

Any ideas ?


Edit: there is what netstat -l tells me :

Code:

/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK # netstat -l

Hi Adelscott,
just received mine as well :-)

I manage to reach the NZBGet web interface by using port 8066.
See if that works for you.

On a happy note: Mine managed to download from my usenet server.
Haven't found out how to set up the automatic unraring of the files yet though.
Just have to rub my new magic lamp a little more and I'm sure it'll work out nicely

[Adelscott]

Nothing on 8066 as well
what should I do ?
CSI tells me that nzbget is running (tried the 3 versions 0.6.0-1, 0.7.0.309 and 0.7.0.342)

[tonyreed]

Hi Adelscott, you've probably resolved this by now but I just experienced a similar sort of thing.

After installing "something" the nzbget no longer worked.
I removed all applications and started from scratch.

In the process of doing this I noticed that most applications now use port 9999. However I couldn't reach anything there.
CSI has it's own web server listening on that port - also - lightHttp replaces CSI's web server.

In my case, removing lightHttp and running csi's web server worked nicely and port 9999 is now served.

When I had it split between temp files on the local drive and the rest of the complete files on the USB drive I saw a tremendous drop in performance. figure 400-600kb/s from a 24mb line. When it's not locked up and it all goes to the USB drive, I can hit 1200.

I returned all of the config files except for settings.php to the internal drive. I changed the unpack script to do all it's normal business, but move it to the USB drive when it's done and clean up after itself.

Hopefully that'll clear all of this weirdness out.

LordPall, what script did you use to move the finished files to USB drive. I would like to use the internal hd download and unpack. Once finished, I would like to have a script to remove all the unnecessary files and move the finished file to a USB drive. Can you help. I'm totally new to this stuff. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I want to use NZBGET on my POPCORN HOUR A-110. I have a wireless connection with my pc and I am using NMT Community Software Installer.

1. I installed Lighttpd 1.4.23-nmt2 and NZBget 0.7.0.342.
2a. I opened the link http://pch-a110:9999/NZBget_web/
2b. I opened the link http://ipadress:9999/NZBget_web/
3. IE starts up, but i get a HTTP-error 500.

Any idea what went wrong?

Please help me out.

Thank you,
Erik Breukers

How is it possible that if you download a collection nzb ( existing of .rar .par. nfo and .nzb ).
It downloads to the foldername of the nzb file in /Download/NZBFileName that nzbget after parring and unrarring, cleaning out the par and rar files, automaticaly picks up the nzb file which was in the collections and starts retrieving that as well?

The /Downloads directory is not set as a pickup directory, that is the /.nzbget/nzb directory default from installation.

Can I automagically remove the nzb file after the parring and rarring is done?

Regards,

[GrandPuba]

Regarding the above: I don't know if you have to regard this as a bug, or a feature request to turn this feature on or off from the postproces.sh, most likely you don't want to download the complete nzb file from the collection again after the postproces.sh had finished parring and rarring.

What happens is:
If nzbget downloads the files from the uploaded nzb file including the nzb from the collection, the postprocessing.sh script moves the downloaded nzb file to the /Apps/NZBget/.nzbget/nzb directory for additional downloading of extra par files after the parring and unrarring proces, it gets picked up by the download directory again, so you will download everything twice, unless that nzb file does really contain extra par files.
Since this happens quit rarely and have seen this really seldom myself in nzb files from a whole collection.
You have to disable this feature from the postproces.sh yourself!
Don't do this by editing the file directly from the samba share, login with ftp and download the /Apps/NZBget/postprocess.sh and edit this with a proper editor like notepad++.

The lines you need to deprecate are in lines 253 to 258 and should look like this afterwards:

Code:

# If download contains only nzb-files move them into nzb-directory
# for further download
#AllFilesCount=`ls -1 2>/dev/null | wc -l`
#NZBFilesCount=`ls -1 *.nzb 2>/dev/null | wc -l`
#if [ "$AllFilesCount" -eq "$NZBFilesCount" ]; then
#     echo "[INFO] Moving downloaded nzb-files into incoming nzb-directory for further download"
#     mv *.nzb $NZBOP_NZBDIR
#fi

If you now download a nzb collection including the original nzb, it does not move the file to the nzb pickup directory but deletes it afterwards.

Hope this may also help other people... We have seen this on two different PCH A-110's!

Hi guys,

How could I modify the unpack script so that after extracting the rars the folder gets moved to the movies folder on the disk? I primarily download movies so to save me some time I want it to move the folder into the movies folder so I don't have to reorganize it myself.

I took a shot at this by adding this to the original unpak.sh script after the clean up temp folder commands:

Code:

# Move all to the movies folder

  mv * ../Video

I know that this moves ALL files and folders in there but I don't know if the folder name is available as a var or not. Anyway, it doesn't matter that much because it's unlikely that nzbget will be processing more than one set at a time. In 99% of the cases we will just be moving one directory, the one the script just processed.

Am I doing this right?

[FroZzi]

I also share a great positive attitude about thing feature on the PCH, I only have one small problem, that i hope someone can answer for me:

After downloading for an example a movie, and after my PCH have extracted the movie, it keeps all the par files, så I basicly have the movie unpacked and the movie outpacked. I want my PCH to delete all the unnecessary files when it succesfully have extracted the movie, where do I do that???

[fluidimagery]

Maybe I'm missing a step by the NZBget never seems to do anything. I was messing around with .7 but finally just reformatted the drive, everything is as default. I'm able to access NZBget through the browser. When I try to upload the .nzb.xml file nothing seems to happen. I see the upload status reveal the nzb name and size but nothing starts downloading or no error messages come up.

[chris57]

You need to set your newsgroups server name, password, port etc. and then reboot.

For those wanting to download to a different folder just edit the location in nzb.conf:-
# Destination-directory to store the downloaded files.
DestDir=/share/Download

Where Download is a folder I have created in the root called Download.

If you have a folder called Movies then replace with Movies.

Same question here, I also need to remove unnecessary files after download.
