Assistance with "Remote NZB Interface"

Postby Ragonz » Sat Apr 09, 2016 7:34 pm

Having trouble setting this up, have spent about 2 hours on it trying everything but just cannot get it working, some assistance would be appreciated.

What happens if I go to Http://localhost:7000 in Firefox

SickRage says
"Unable to connect to host"
Tried 127.0.0.1:7000 as well as Http://localhost:7000

Turned off firewalls during testing, used different browser, ensured nothing else running on that port (also tested on other ports)

1 - Make up an API key, it can be any arbitrary thing and make sure you set it on both sides, in sick rage and Newsbin. You can use anything you want.

2 - Look in the logs in Newsbin and see if you see any errors.

The fact you can hit it with the web browser mean's it's listening and connectable.

You might want to install "Sonarr" and try it too. It has a test function which will tell you if it's working. I don't know if SickRage has one or not.

SickRage does have a test function, running it gives me the "Unable to connect to host"
Same error with an API key and/or a username and password

When I hit Newsbit with a browser I get the following error
"ERROR SickBeard Inergration: Error Reported"

Your picture #2 shows Newsbin responding on port 7000. I assume you have nothing else listening on 7000.

ERROR SickBeard Inergration: Error Reported


This is to be expected because you're not sending a command to Newsbin.

Try each of these:

http://127.0.0.1:7000/api?apikey=12345&mode=version

http://127.0.0.1:7000/api?apikey=12345&mode=history

Use whatever API key you set in Newsbin.
