Controling more than one instance of SABnzbd

Post by unimatrix27 »

Hi all,

I googled and looked through existing plugins but what I want seems to be something uncommon.

Is there any way of having 2 or more instances of SABnzbd control each other? Reason: I want to use one Usenet account on 2 different physical locations (work location and home). So when I am in my work flat during the week I want to download stuff locally but also the SABnzbd instance in my real home is switched on since it is connected to Couchpotato and Sickbeard.

So what I want: Whenever there is something queued in my local instance, the remote instance shall be paused automatically and resumed again once the local queue is free.

Is this function anywheer available ready to use or do I need to implement myself, possibly with a simple python script using the API that I run every few minutes?
Thanks

Multiple instances of SABnzbd can co-exist, but they will not communicate.
So yes, you'll need to do something with the API.
