WARNING!

This article is incomplete! I have not had time to test the settings properly, but it doesn't seem to work entirely as intended at the moment. It is simply meant as a rough draft to get the wiki article started. Hopefully somebody will mess around with the settings and figure out where I screwed up, and correct it here.

NZBWebget

NZBWebget is an NZB binary newsgrabber. If you don't know what usenet is, you likely won't need to install NZBWebget. You can NOT download with NZBWebget without access to a usenet server.

Installing

To install NZBWebget on your WDTV device, you must edit the s00custom file (contained in the WDLXTV firmware package).

Settings

Make sure you have the hash number for your usb device. You can find this by opening telnet (through the web interface of your device) and typing "cd /tmp/media/usb" and then "ls" to see what usb port you are using (USB1 or USB2). Next type "cd USB1" or "cd USB2" depending on what port your using. Now type "ls" again and you should see a long serial type number, this is your storage device hash number.

Now I'm going to explain how I personally set things up in NZBWebget settings (changed through the web interface of your device), but with regards to specific folder names and such, obviously it's up to you what names and directories you want to use. Anything I don't mention was left default. Remember to save changes on every page before moving on.

OPTIONS

serverIP - I set this to the local IP of my WDTV: 192.168.0.200

serverport - I chose 8082

serverpassword - (pick a password)

nzbdir - /tmp/media/usb/USB[port number]/[hash number]/NZB/nzb

PATHS

$MAINDIR - /tmp/media/usb/USB[port number]/[hash number]NZB

DestDir - ${MAINDIR}/downloaded

NzbDir - ${MAINDIR}/nzb

QueueDir - ${MAINDIR}/queue

TempDir - ${MAINDIR]/tmp

NEWS-SERVERS

Server1.Host - your usenet provider server URL

Server1.Port - typically 563 for ssl, 119 for unencrypted - but your usenet provider should indicate a port to use

Server1.Username/Password - username and password for your usenet account - if required

Server1.JoinGroup - have no idea what this is, I set it to no

Server1.Encryption - enable for SSL, obviously

Server1.Connections - the amount of connections opened to the server

MAKE SURE YOU DELETE ANY SERVERS YOU DONT USE!

DOWNLOAD QUEUE

SaveQueue, ReloadQueue, ReloadPostQueue, ContinuePartial, RenameBroken - I set all these to "yes"

CLIENT/SERVER COMMUNICATION

ServerIp - again here I used the local IP for my WDTV

ServerPort - again port 8082

Serverpassword - same password as used in the OPTIONS menu

SCHEDULER

DELETE any pre-existing schedule or modify it to fit your needs.

I changed the unrar settings as well, not sure if NZBget extracts or not but this is what I setup in unrar:

"Path to downloads:" /tmp/media/usb/USB[port number]/[hash number]/NZB

"Folder with completed downloads:" downloaded

"Folder to extract to:" extracted

For the settings to take effect, you may need to unplug your device.
