Newznab - Anyone using it? - DejaVu - 2010-09-29 00:06
I've been looking into this 'NewzNab' and have to admit, it's extremely interesting. Albeit a little hard to find information on it anywhere (site's a little vague and the link to googlecode is confusing for the normal end user). I've managed to install and get it running after reading that Couch Potato 'supports' it.
I am currently running the loooooong process of 'Updating the Binaries' using my Localhost Xampp server.
Does anyone have any information on this thing, I know what it is and what it does, but documentation is few and far between. I also realise it's new and awaiting a wiki - but I am very eager to sort this out.
I'm also looking for information on a Web Server PHP Implementation of all the tools integrated together which can be assessed at a glance like a Web Dashboard (CP, Sick, Sab, NewzNab, XBMC). I've noticed a few on here with skills have managed to accomplish it. I've been trying to dig up alsorts of information - but I might as well be banging my head against a brickwall with the progress I'm making!
So far I have a Navigation to the utilities @ localhost. But that's it! I would love a way to monitor attached HDD usage, new TV Shows, recently added to library, failed downloads, etc in a PHP environment.

Yes! I've been running a private server for a couple of weeks and it's working great. I've been through newzbin, nzbmatrix, merlin's portal, etc. and wanted a server I knew would be here next month.
If you want to see it in action, you can try it out at http://www.nzb.su/
Newznab + FlexGet + SABnzbd gives me everything I need.

I'm running a local server just for the hell of it, and I have it mostly working. However, using lighttpd, I get 404's when I try to browse any of the categories (browse?t=2000) and with apache, I can't even get to the /install directory and going to localhost:90/ writes out the config.php file to my screen.
Any pointers?
EDIT: Screw it, it's kinda silly for me to have my own server.

I tried it on xammp on windows and was impressed. It does what it does very well indeed but boy does it suck bandwith resources
so ultimately i gave up. Not for me i don't think to run on an 8mbit connection.

newznab is pretty stable now, ive been running it on http://nzb.su since we first started working on it. You can join the irc channel and we'll answer any questions you have about it.

on the home page it says it works with, Sab, Sick, and CP
can I add your site to all of these and then scrape or search using your site, if so please give detailed instructions.
when I go into Sabs settings into index sites I do not see your site available like wise for SickBeard and CouchPotato

Lighttpd uses different rewrite rules to apache (Which is our default setup) a user contributed most of the lighttpd rules, which can be found in svn .

What is the bandwidth usage like? What about DB size?
