API and XML

[Herman]

Hi there,

I hope I'm in the right topic, cause I'm new here...

I tried the follwing API-command and indeed received an XML file:

http://host:port/sabnzbd/api?mode=qstatus&output=xml

The content of the XML-file was :



Login



    Username:

    Password:

   




At that moment SABnzbd+ was downloading, so expected an other content in XML.
What am I missing?

cheers,
Herman

Try:
http://host/sabnzbd/api?mode=qstatus&ou ... URPASSWORD

Replacing YOURUSERNAME and YOURPASSWORD with your details..

[Herman]

thank you! Reason I was asking this is that I have a connection that drops sometimes and I can't find a way to autoresume a download. Therefore I'm tring to build an application in Delphi to monitor this, cause I saw that there is a api-call for resuming a download...
If you  have any firther suggestions, they are welcome

I'm not sure resume will function as you want, it just unpaused the current download queue.

Does SABnzbd not download after your connection drops? Try setting a smaller timeout for your servers in config>servers.

I'll try the smaller timeout tonight. I have to do some maintenance at my server first.
I had the timeout set at 120 now, and after SABnzbd gets in paused-state, I have to resume manually...
