XBMC SABnzbd+ Python Script

[jamesdew]

Switch, would you mind adding a way to view my history of recent sabnzb downloads?  Every time I turn on my TV, I have to quit Plex and use a mouse to see what shows have downloaded since last time.  It would be great to see what new shows I have with just a few clicks of the remote control.  Thanks for all your work.

This functionality is already built into XBMC, the recently added TV shows feature. Are you not using the library mode? The only way I could see this would be useful is if something isn't in your library that you expect to be there and you want to confirm that it downloaded.

If you really do want this, sabnzbd can provide the history as an RSS feed as shown here

http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/tips

then just add that RSS feed to your custom feeds and name it "download history" or something

I'm getting an error when I try to perform an action on a queued item. I get "failed to contact sabnzbd".
I can see the queued items, however...

Any thoughts? This is a *great* plugin for XBMC, thanks so much!

If you are using release 5.x changes to the API have been made that prevents this working.

I modified sabnzbd_actions.py to accomodate these changes, see my post on the previous page.

Brilliant! Thanks for that... now if I can just get the IMDB stuff working for NZBMATRIX, I'd be all set!!

[jamesdew]

Unfortunatly the IMDB part uses the IMDB link provided by newzbin. To get this to work we would need a film name parser, then have this search IMDB and return the info. This is beyond my limited skills, switch or someone with more python experience would need to help

That would be pretty cool though.

Just wanted to say thanks for this plugin.  I'm an idiot, and it took me a minute to get the RSS settings for NZBs.org setup properly, but it works like a charm now.

[jamesdew]

I added some more stuff, I wanted to be able to pause for short periods of time without going back to resume again.

If you want this functionality just replace your nzb/sabnzbd_actions.py with this one.

New version is available via the new XBMC add-on repo. New support thread started on the XBMC forums [url=http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=76182"]here[/url]. You will need a current SVN version of XBMC to use the updated version of this script. SVN versions are considered beta, so backup your current install and userdata if you plan to upgrade.

Hello,

I installed XBMC Dharma beta 3 with SABnzbd+ add-on and SABnzbd+ 0.5.4.
I managed to reed my nzbs.org rss feed but could not download any NZB files.
When I select an item in the list, it says "Added to queue" but when I look at the queue there is an item name like "index.php!action=getnzb&nzbid=429569" and nothing is going on.

Is there any known bug or something I did wrong (configurations..) ??

Thanks in advance.

You install the addon from within XBMC. There is no plugin folder to find.
