SABnzbd Forums

Hi all,

After I discovered SABnzbd about a week ago, I have been furiously coding on a Windows based monitoring utility, to monitor a local or remote SABnzbd installation.

At the moment it is not feature-complete (with the initial feature-set I planned on from the beginning), but it is running, and seems to be working pretty smoothly.

But, I would really like a couple of betatesters, so the util can be tested in various setups, with/without password, running on localhost, queryed over the internet etc, so, if you have the time to test this util, and have the energy to write a couple of words, maybe submit a screenshot, if the thing crashes and/or behaves curiously, then write in this thread, or drop me a PM, and i'll send you a download link to the latest version.  If you could include e-mail, notification about new builds will be much easier to send, but I will leave that up to you.

As a last thing, the util will be released as open-source (C#, Visual Studio) when I have cleaned the code up for release (its a big mess right now), and, more importantly, found out what license it should be released under (which apparantly is a big deal )

Its my first OS project, and I have no idea what license to choose, so i'll have to do a bit of studying first.

yah I'd be willing to try it out.

I'm happy to test this out for you. I run two Windows Vista machines and run SAB on a total of four different systems including two NAS devices.

I'll PM you my email address.

I've sent both of you a link, and some more info.

Thanks for helping, looking forward to hearing what you think

I'd be interested in checking it out.

Working (ish)!

Is it purely a system tray that you hover over or click to see status?

My config: SAB 0.40 (from trunk)
Vista SP1

Here's what it looks like on my my machine:

Yes, the first version will purely be monitoring, with an icon signifying if SABnzbd is running, and if, what it is doing. (By tooltip and balloontip on clicking)

It is my plan to add queue-control and more advanced features along the way, though.

Big queue

Could you PM/Mail me a dump of http:///sabnzbd/api?mode=qstatus&output=xml (And if possible, info about what the monitor says about queue size at that time also)

It seems like somethings not being calculated correctly.

That queue was put in just to test for you... I've had 100GB queues recently!

I'll PM you the XML. FYI, my download speed is over 1000kB/sec (up to 2000). Is that the problem?

Speed shouldn't be the problem, I hit 2MB/s when I download, and it works fine.

But, I think I found a possible divide-by-zero error, which I will fix tomorrow, that could be the cause.
