sickbeard + nzbget issues

[Lacroix]

I'm trying to install and setup sickbeard and nzbget on my a300, but am running into issues.

By default, nzbget 0.6 is installed on the pch, correct?
Then I installed "local 0.1.8", and "sickbeard 1.0" using the CSI.
After this I set up both sickbeard and nzbget 0.6.

Then I added shows to sickbeard and sickbeard would send the nzb to nzbget, here I would get error messages.

In sickbeard: "NZBget could not add to the queue"
In nzbget 0.6: "error parsing nzb", and no further info

After searching a bit on google, I read that the parsing errors should be gone in a further version of nzbget, so I installed "nzbget 0.8-testing".

Afer this, sickbeard could succesfully send nzb's to nzbget, however I would receive a connection timeout from my newsserver.

When I had installed nzbget 0.6, I setup my newsserver correctly and testing this by uploading an nzbfile.
After upgrading to nzbget 0.8, the settings would still be the same, however when I upload an nzb file, I get the same connection timeout.
The error says my newsserver is "my1.newsserver.com", but my settings page tells me I have setup the correct one. (only 1 server).

Then, when I try to set the newsserver again, in nzbget 0.8, and restart after saving my changes, by nzbget version is back to 0.6, so I get the parsing error again.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

To connect to NZBget 0.8 you have to use http://ip-to-your-popcorn:9999/NZBget_web/ and change the config there.

I'm guessing you're till trying to use http://ip-to-your-popcorn:8066 to connect NZBget.

I set up Sickbeard 1.0 and Local 0.1.8-nmt2 on my PCH A300.
Now im trying to make it work with NZBget 0.7.0-testing-r380.

I set up my newsserver and resetted NZBget as well as the whole PCH.

The only message I get is:

ERROR: NZBGetWeb could not connect to NZBGet-Server.

Possible reasons include:
NZBGet-Server is not running (start);
IP/Port-settings are incorrect. Check config;
Firewall is not properly configured (if nzbget-server and web-interface run on different computer).

Error-message reported by OS: Connection refused (146)

Option 1 was to check if the server was running. I clicked on start and NZBget gave me feedback:

INFO: Server started successfully.

Please give the server few seconds for initialization, then refresh the page.

So I refreshed, but the problem stayed. Also according to CSI NZBget is running.

Option 2 was checking the config if the IP/Port-settings are incorrect.
The IP of my PCH is 192.168.0.17, so thats correct. The port I don't know? NZBget suggests 6789, but I don't know how to check that?

Option 3 was to check the firewall. Well, I never have to set any Firewall settings and I don't think this is the problem here.

Can anyone help me out? Thnx!

Ok, I set the COMMUNICATION WITH NZBGET-SERVER (under WEB-INTERFACE) to IP 0.0.0.0
And CLIENT/SERVER COMMUNICATION (under NZBGET-SERVER) also to IP 0.0.0.0 (the info said "If you want the server to listen to all interfaces, use "0.0.0.0"., so I gave that a try..)
Port settings both on 6789

Now this error is gone, but the webinterface says:

Server is sleeping
INFO Mon, 15 Oct 2012 23:52:15 +0200 nzbget 0. 7. 0- testing- r380 daemon- mode

I guess this is a step in the right direction (?).

Now my next thing to fit is getting Sickbeard to work with NZBget.
Under Config > Search settings > NZB Search I used the following settings:

Checked Search NZB's
NZB Method = Black hole
NZB Black Hole = /share/.nzbget/nzb

I added new shows and I seems to work! Slow as hell (73 kb/s), but I can see some action in NZBget!
Note to self: "Good work "

Server is sleeping means that its alive and waiting for an nzb so it can start downloading.

Should be faster then 73 kb/s try adding more connections, but keep an eye on performance of the player, too many will cause the NMT to stutter or even crash.

Well done (by the way)
