The Gunslinger posted:I didn't setup spotweb because newznab is difficult or something, it fills a different niche (user curated content). Oh right, I see, so running them both does have advantages!

Moist von Lipwig posted:I'm getting newznab set up and it honestly doesn't seem that hard, I'm not sure why everyone was jumping on spotweb? It's not because it's hard, it's because a full spotweb database can be created in a couple hours and uses a few GBs of space. Newznab takes days (weeks?) to backfill and needs dozens of GBs of space. Moist von Lipwig posted:EDIT: Neither Sickbeard nor Couchpotato seem to want to use my spotweb or my newznab installations.

Of all the new indexers popping up I quite like this one (http://hddonut.com). Flashy interface and stuff. Its not free but it can still be used to see what's being uploaded.

It's been a good run, but apparently someone told the mean kids down the block about our little clubhouse, and it's only a matter of time before they ruin it entirely. It's not just me, right? I feel like the availability, in general, is mighty slim these days.

Haven't noticed anything here either. I'm getting my normal emails in the morning about TV shows the previous nights, everything else seems kinda slow as far as general releases right now, but I'm not having any trouble downloading anything.

TV and movies have still been fine here, though TV's been slow recently due to the holidays (not the scene, but there just isn't much new TV coming out). The only place I've seen any major changes in actual content has been the two gorillas in the game console market. Over the last year or two those have gone from reliably being able to get everything to anything older than a week or so being entirely missing. It's a race now when that stuff is posted to get it before it's gone. Really the only big loss recently has been the public indexers, and since it's not too hard to run your own I see that as more of an inconvenience than anything else.

I've had some NZBs fail in the last two weeks using Supernews with BlockNews backup. I've since added TweakNews and TheCubeNet (Highwinds) as additional backups which seems to have solved it.

So I forgot my nzb.su password and tried to reset it and the reset link just takes me back to the log in page? I mean my account still works in Sickbeard/Couch Potato because the API is still there but I can't use the site at all. Anyone had any experience with this?

To use block accounts effectively do you simply tick the Backup Server check box when entering it into SAB? What does the Optional check box do?

Optional means "this server might suck, it's okay to give up on a connection to it, if it seems to be taking forever to connect." Only really needed for lovely free servers.

Anyone tried to install newznab on a windows box that already has Spotweb going? I'm pretty ignorant on pretty much all things db related, but with spotweb running its mysql, I'm not sure how to get it running for newznab as well... Also, is there a recommended guide for installing newznab on windows? I've been trying with whatever I can find online, but if there is a known good guide I'd like to use that. EDIT: This is what happens after installing XAMPP on the machine I've got spotweb running from, its also complaining about SAB using port 8080.

Are you installing them on the same XAMPP machine or are you trying to run two separate installations of XAMPP? Spotweb and Newznab should both be in the HTDOCS folder.

I literally just ran the spotweb easy installer, I have no idea what all was included with that. Did I install XAMPP twice, once from SWE and then installed it directly?

I think that's probably what happened, I'd recommend uninstalling spotweb and downloading the normal version and dropping it into your XAMPP machine. It looks like they're conflicting with each other.

Well, dicking around a bit and I've made progress. I dumped the newznab folder into the htdocs from spotweb, and found a way to navigate to the newznab set up. EDIT: Ok, got past that one. now on to the next bit of trouble. I've gotten Newznab installed, activated one group (A.b.cd.image.linux) and hit the updatebinaries batch file. the cmd window flashes for a second then disappears. The same thing happens clicking the updatereleases batch. After doing that I expected to see some content browsing newznab, but I see nothing. I assume the updatebinaries and updaterelease scripts aren't doing what they're supposed to be, but what can I do to figure out what is causing it and how to address it? EDIT 2 - Slow and steady... running the script from a command prompt, I see that I am getting this error  This error seems to say there should be something related to SSL on line 561 of the client.php file, but I don't see anything like that in the file. If I am reading this right, newznab is trying to use my credentials to log into the usenet provider, but chocking on SSL, but it got through the self test during set up just fine. Is there a way to change the provider information after the quickstart guide? I want to go in and verify that I checked use SSL, but I can't even find where to go to look at the moment.

Two steps forward... After yet another reboot it appears that the updatebinaries script is working perfectly. It pulled from the groups just like it was supposed to, and I am thinking everything is good! But of course, I've run into a wall on the next step - updatereleases chokes trying to run the regexes. The error is below:  I've been able to google my way through most of this, but I'm not finding much at all about this... anyone have a clue what would cause this?

It looks like it's working fine, you just haven't fetched enough binaries to find releases. Are you running NN+?

I should be, thats what I downloaded after paying for it. But I'm not sure how to actually tell if it is the + version or not. Sounds like they're having some dns issues at newznab.com, but even after adding a hosts entry for it I'm still running into trouble, and may have actually made this worse. Now I get YET ANOTHER ERROR trying to run updatebinaries or updatereleases - Could not open input file - Update-releases.php Spotweb went so easily, I was not expecting all this fun stuff...

Heads up, if you were an NZBSRUS user from back in the day, you may not be a VIP anymore. I've mysteriously lost the lifetime VIP status I bought back during the $9,99 sale a few years ago.

I mean, if they'd asked for a bit more and offered payment options other than loving Buttcoin, I would've chipped in a couple of bucks. But pulling this poo poo? gently caress them forever.
