[GUIDE] Install SABnzbd 0.7.12

So for you to remove your swapfile it would be

swapoff /DataVolume/swapfile1
rm -f /DataVolume/swapfile1

 Sorry, didn’t mean to confuse you :slight_smile:

ok thanks. Well i can access sab now. slow but i can access it so it is an improvement 

works perfectly. just rebooted the MBL, and is working great, not any slower then it was with only a dozen NZBs in the queue. currently using 192Mb ram and 594Mb total. highest i’ve seen it yet. I will upp the cache limit in sab and see how it goes. I only had it set to 15M

spoke too soon. worked great while the light was yellow and the MBL was still loading, then the moment the light turned green, sab just stopped, nothing. Can I shut down any processes that are not critical the the operation of this device? Cause it seems once it has loaded all the official MBL software, it cannot run sab with the load i am putting on it. oh yeah, currently sab is the only unofficial process on this particular drive at the moment too.

EDIT: double post

I think something else is going on but I don’t know what. SAB only downloads 1 archive at a time then unpacks that one as it starts downloading the next. Maybe you could try enabling the option to pause downloads while unpacking is taking place.

You might need to reinstall it again if it isn’t starting for whatever reason but I swear it is solid as a rock here. I have owncloud, webfs, znc, pyload, transmission, sabnzbd, nzbget and h5ai web server all installed and running on my drive without issue.

It’s all good now. Cut my queue down to 30, Changed my skin to smpl white and droped the number of connections to the servers down to 10, still maxes out my connection and runs fine, still having it downloading while repairing/unpacking.

When I type

NASgiel:~# /etc/init.d/sabnzbd start
Then it says
Starting SABnzbd.

and after 5 seconds its goes back to

NASgiel:~#

 

I tried to start sab in putty with lynx localhost:8080 and then SAB started but I cant start it on chrome, explorer or phone

Don’t start SAB with lynx and localhost. Localhost won’t work, that is why we change it in the .ini file to 0.0.0.0 which allows you to access the interface from any computer. Start it with the /etc/init.d/sabnzbd start command. After you start SAB go to your web-browser and type your mybooklive ip or network name:8080 in the address bar and the interface should come right up to the setup screen.

Did you change localhost to 0.0.0.0 in the sabnzbd.ini file?

192.168.1.40:8080

NASgiel:8080

One more suggestion would be to restart the NAS

I was trying all kinds of things to get SAB running but all that was needed was to restart the NAS… Thanks :smiley:

So now everytthing works perfect!!

Just one more question. After downloading a nzb is there a posibility to open it directly in SAB by double clicking the nzb?

No but there are browser addons that will send the nzb directly to sab

http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/usage

Hey, definitely nice guide. Alternatively, I installed most of SABnzbd’s dependencies with aptitude (screen, par2, python-openssl, python-cheetah) and got unrar directly from the RAR website ( http://www.rarlab.com/rar/unrar_ppclinux_380b2.tar.bz2 ). It saves you from installing optware if you don’t want it. You also don’t need to install the sabnzbdplus package, you can directly unpack the source code in (for example) your home folder and run it from there. Hopefully I’m not confusing anyone, I just mean to say that there is an alternative way, not necessarily better. Btw, for what do you need lynx?

I stopped using SABnzbd since I noticed that I can get a much better download performance (6-7 MB/s vs 2 MB/s, same ISP) when I use nzbget, with a much smaller memory footprint (MBL with SickBeard and nzbget both running, 100 MB to spare for more apps).

Cheers

Hey, thanks for the guide. I have used it before and it used to work great. However, yesterday I updated the MBL firmware and apparently you have to reinstall SABnzbd. I try to do so using this guide, bu whatever I try I can’t connect to the GUI in my browser. It says it cannot connect to the MBL.

So I have it installed and it’s running:

/opt/bin/python2.5 /opt/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d

 just to check:

MyBookLive:~# ps ax | grep SAB
24722 ? Sl 0:00 /opt/bin/python2.5 /opt/share/SABnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d

 I have adapted the host variable from localhost to 0.0.0.0

 So it seems to be running on either mybooklive:8080 or mybooklive:9095, neither of which the browser connects to. Replacing mybooklive with the actual IP-adress results in the same. The IP is fixed in the router. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong here? I experience similar problems running sickbeard since the update, I try to focus on one problem at a time. I suspect the problems are related, so if I fix this SickBeard might function as well.
