This tutorial will show how to setup SABnzbd, a popular cross-platform usenet client on your router, using the latest source. Before you continue, you will need to have already installed optware. First you need to install some required packages by running the following code. Code: ipkg install python26 py26-cheetah py26-openssl unzip unrar par2cmdline Afterwards, go to the SABNzbd website to find latest "Python Source". (0.6.15 at the time of writing) http://sabnzbd.org/download/ Run the following code, adjust for the version you're using. Code: cd /opt wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbd-0.6.15/SABnzbd-0.6.15-src.tar.gz tar zxvf SABnzbd-0.6.15-src.tar.gz rm SABnzbd-0.6.15-src.tar.gz mv SABnzbd-0.6.15/ sabnzbd To automatically start SABnzbd at boot, place the following in the router GUI. USB and NAS -> USB Support -> Run after mounting If you want to start it now without needing a reboot, also run this in the cli. Change 8080 to the desired port you want to run on, making sure not to pick one already in use. Code: /opt/bin/python2.6 /opt/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -s 0.0.0.0:8080 Direct your browser to your router 'ip : port' to finish the setup. Make sure the 'Access' option in the gui setup is set to 'I want SABnzbd to be viewable by any pc on my network.', or else you won't be able to access it through the web gui. Also remember to go to the config and place the path of where you want the nzb's to download. Optional: You can also optionally install yenc. This will make the router more efficient at decoding binary files. This module is found in optware for python 2.5, however, I found that the newest version of SABnzbd did not work under python 2.5. Python 2.7 in optware is missing the cheetah, pyopenssl, and yenc modules, so that is why I opted for python 2.6. The yenc module must then by compiled for Python 2.6, but this is extremely fast once you've installed the compilation tools. Code: ipkg install buildroot mkdir /opt/yenc && cd /opt/yenc wget http://www.golug.it/pub/yenc/yenc-0.4.0.tar.gz tar zxvf yenc-0.4.0.tar.gz && cd yenc-0.4.0/ /opt/bin/python2.6 ./setup.py build /opt/bin/python2.6 ./setup.py install You can then restart SABnzbd or reboot the router for yenc to be activated. Don't expect incredible speeds or to obtain what you could get on a PC. I did notice that connecting to an NZB server with SSL was definately slower than without SSL. SSL requires more cpu computations. This does however, make it nice to download content with a low powered device. Enjoy! edit: Here is an installation script that will completely install sabnzbd, and set it to automatically restart every reboot. You can store it somewhere in /opt if desired for an easy quick installation. Just adjust the 'STARTUP' line to have the port you want to run on. sabnzbd.sh Code: #!/bin/sh ipkg install python26 py26-cheetah py26-openssl unzip unrar buildroot cd /opt wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbdplus/sabnzbd-0.6.15/SABnzbd-0.6.15-src.tar.gz tar zxvf SABnzbd-0.6.15-src.tar.gz rm SABnzbd-0.6.15-src.tar.gz mv SABnzbd-0.6.15/ sabnzbd mkdir /opt/yenc && cd /opt/yenc wget http://www.golug.it/pub/yenc/yenc-0.4.0.tar.gz tar zxvf yenc-0.4.0.tar.gz && cd yenc-0.4.0/ /opt/bin/python2.6 ./setup.py build /opt/bin/python2.6 ./setup.py install [ ! -d /opt/etc/config ] && mkdir /opt/etc/config STARTUP="/opt/bin/python2.6 /opt/sabnzbd/SABnzbd.py -d -s 0.0.0.0:80" echo "#!/bin/sh" > /opt/etc/config/sabnzbd.wanup echo "$STARTUP" >> /opt/etc/config/sabnzbd.wanup chmod +x /opt/etc/config/sabnzbd.wanup /opt/etc/config/sabnzbd.wanup
Stupid site no longer allows to you to edit your posts. The very last script is missing par2cmdline in the installation.
