NZB Control - OS X

Post by JayZ »

NZB Control is a simple status bar application to monitor and control your SABnzbd or NZBGet application. Ideally if you are running on a separate NAS or server device.

Features
• Monitor download speed, remaining time and queue size status
• View current items in queue (limited to 5 items)
• Pause and resume queue
• Delete and pause individual queue items
• Limit download speed
• Add NZB file(s) by URL link or uploading direct from your Mac.

More details about SABnzbd at http://sabnzbd.org and NZBGet at http://nzbget.net

NZB Control has been tested with SABnzbd 0.7.20, 1.0.x & NZBGet 16.4

Mac App Store https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/nzb-con ... ls=1&mt=12

Enjoy! :)

Very nice!
One question: there's no setting of 100% speed. Why is that?

Hi

nice little tool... I would like to propose a new functionality... what do you think about automatically open *.nzb files (double-click directly after download) with "NZB Control" and upload them directly to sabnzbd...
This would make some things easier ;-)

Thanks and best regards
Jens

Great app!

Two questions though: 1) What is the 'path' option ?? 2) Why does NZBcontrol use such a lot of memory on my Mac (about 425 MB) ???

I share question 1) from this comment.

Would anyone be kind enough to provide a dummies guide to the set up fields? I'm okay with most I think but it would be great for me if someone covered all for my own sanity and it might help other newbies out there get the most out of this.

I have no doubt this will be really useful once I get it up and running.

Thanks,
Ste

Hi

A bit stumped in that I can connect to sab server with success but the menubar suggests that I haven't filled in server details properly.
The following fields have been left blank in preferences

Name
Username
Password
Path

Any help appreciated

The way I upload nzb-files to Sabnzb is to have an automator script (folder action) copy all the nzb-files from the local Downloads folder to the local Cloudstation folder. Cloudstation will automatically sync the file(s) to the NAS. I setup the Cloudstation folder on my NAS as watch folder for Sabnzb so, in this way, nzb-files are uploaded to SABnzbd automatically.

I think if NZB Control had an option for a "watch folder" my automator script wouldn't be necessary. Is there any chance you will implement something so NZB control will read out a watch-folder?
