SABnzdb

What it is
This is about installing SABnzbd on a Medion Life P89626/P89630 aka NSA-212 (and possibly others).

A big Thank You goes out to Grish on whose work this is based. See http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1817691 for details.

Prerequisite: Get a working FFP-stick
See FFP-stick for the installation. FFP 0.7 works fine.

Note that the initial installation can take quite some time (30 mins). Reboot after it's finished.

You can check that it's done by telnet'ing into your NAS: telnet nas-server

Once it's up, you should install and start SSH, and disable Telnet.

Download and install required packages
I use uwsiteloader to set up the package sources:

ssh root@nas-server cd /home/root wget http://wolf-u.li/u/441 -O /ffp/bin/uwsiteloader.sh chmod a+x /ffp/bin/uwsiteloader.sh uwsiteloader.sh

Select all sites. (Use up, down, tab, spacebar) Select yes when asked to update the list.

Use Slacker to install the packages:

slacker -i

Select those packages:


 * kylek:sudo
 * memiks:par
 * memiks:par2cmdline
 * memiks:setuptools
 * memiks:unrar
 * mz:python2
 * mz:sqlite
 * s:binutils
 * s:gcc
 * s:linux-headers
 * s:make
 * s:mpc
 * s:mpfr
 * s:uClibc

Fix sudo:

chown 0 /ffp/libexec/sudoers.so

Install Python modules
easy_install Cheetah feedparser pyOpenSSL pysqlite easy_install https://bitbucket.org/dual75/yenc/get/a9bae29465ad.tar.gz
 * 1) yenc cannot be installed from pypi.

Install SABnzbd
I put it into. You may want to use a different directory.

cd /home/root wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbd-0.6.15/SABnzbd-0.6.15-src.tar.gz tar xvzf SABnzbd-0.6.15-src.tar.gz mkdir -p /ffp/bin/sabnzbd mv SABnzbd-0.6.15/* /ffp/bin/sabnzbd rm -rf SABnzbd-0.6.15/

Configuration
Decide on those directories:


 * Configuration: I use /i-data/md0/thowi/sabnzbd/
 * Downloads: I use /i-data/md0/data/downloads/

Make sure those directories exist and are readable and writable by everybody. You will have to set the download directory from SABnzbd's web interface once it's running. You may also want to set the permissions to 777 so that all users can read and write the downloaded files.

Startup
For the initial startup go to the SABnzbd program directory and start it up:

cd /ffp/bin/sabnzbd/ # Or wherever you put it. sudo -u nobody PYTHON_EGG_CACHE=/tmp /ffp/bin/python2.7 SABnzbd.py -b 0 -s 0.0.0.0:8080 -f XXXXX/i-data/md0/your/sab/config/root/sabnzbd.iniXXXXX # Adapt to your config dir.

You can now connect to http://nas-server:8080/ and should be able to set it up.

Once done, you can quit SABnzbd by hitting Ctrl-C in the terminal.

For more command line options see http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/command-line-parameters.

Automatic startup on boot
Create a file  with this content (adapt to your paths!):

sabnzbd="/ffp/bin/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py" config="/i-data/md0/thowi/sabnzbd/sabnzbd.ini" python="/ffp/bin/python2.7" python_egg_tmp="/tmp" sudo -u nobody PYTHON_EGG_CACHE="$python_egg_tmp" $python "$sabnzbd" -b 0 -d -f "$config"
 * 1) !/ffp/bin/sh
 * 1) PROVIDE: sabnzbd
 * 2) REQUIRE: LOGIN
 * 1) Adapt this to your local config.
 * 1) Start the server.

Make it executable: chmod u+x /ffp/start/sabnzbd.sh

Usage
Just point your browser at http://nas-server:8080/.

There are some Chrome and Firefox extensions as well!

Speed
When using SSL I only get ~2MB/sec. Without SSL I get ~3MB/sec.

For that reason I actually switched to NZBGet, which saturates my line at 6MB/sec.
