Using RSS To Support iOS Process

[digitalvibe]

Hi,

My goal is to be able to use my iPhone to locate an NZB via NZBGeek, have it downloaded within a Dropbox folder so I can then watch the resulting video file.

I had thought the easiest way of achieving the main part of this would be to generate a Cart RSS link via NZBGeek then add that to my Feed URLs within SabNZB. I can then add any nzb to my NZBGeek "cart", which is then added to the RSS feed and Sab can then download however, while this sort of works, I can't find a way to have the download trigger be instant. If I setup the RSS Checking Interval the best I can do is to have it check every 15mins. I also tried using the Scheduling option and set that to be every 3 seconds but that didn't make any difference, i.e. there was still a significant delay to the download process, i.e. way more than 3 secs.

Any ideas on how I can better tackle this? Thanks

The NZBgeek site might block you for that. There is a reason the minimum is 15 minutes.

But ... you can trigger it manually in the SAB webgui: hamburger icon in upper right corner -> Read All Feeds Now.

SAB will then read the RSS feeds within 5 or 10 seconds.

Thanks for the tip re. potential blocking from NZBGeek. Just wish there was a setup that didn’t involve so many manual steps to make this work

Sorry, I'm sure I'm being thick but how would I access the SAB webgui from my phone? Using the same IP I use via my desktop doesn't work.

Is your phone connected to your LAN / WLAN?

(Or is your phone connected via 4G/5G?)

Connected via LAN /WLAN

Did you check SAB -> config -> general -> SABnzbd Host? It must be 0.0.0.0 to make it accessible from your LAN.

[digitalvibe]

It wasn't set to that no (was just localhost) but have updated to 0.0.0.0 and restarted SAB. Despite this, still can't access via my phone

[sander]

what URL do you use to access SABnzbd from your phone?

[digitalvibe]

I've never used my phone to access SAB before so was using the same URL as via my desktop. Is this not correct?

[sander]

Ah. It's something like http://192.168.1.4:8080/

You can find the IP address of your PC via SAB -> Wrench (upper right) cornert -> Local IPv4 address
