CH3SNAS: fun_plug and nzbget

Today was testing day with Andrei (developer of nzbget) and Fonz (developer of FFP).  Cause nzbget crashed during repair of RAR files after checking the validation of the RAR files.

Finally it resulted in a new binary created by Andrei. (no fix from Fonz yet cause it’s still unclear what is the real issue or if it has to do with statically and dynamically linking of libraries).

So for all users of the Conceptronic CH3SNAS or DNS-323 who do not want to use optware (ipkg) (like me) but want to use NZBGET with FFP 0.5

Here are the guidelines:

First make sure you are using the correct extra libraries libpar2 (libpar2-0.2-2.tgz) (install with funpkg -i after download) and libsigc libsigc++-2.0.18-1.tgz (install with funpkg -i after download)

(according to Andrei it might even not be necessary to need these seperate tools when using the special compiled version for CH3SNAS/DNS-323).

You can find the source & scripts here

Make sure you download and install the correct unrar version. I have just upgraded my version to 3.7.8-1 from ULI the older version 3.4 caused strange crash during a long unrar session.

Download the nzbget-static-all-release.zip file, and if you have troubles you could use the debug version. Also available for download from the same webpage. This is the modified binary.

Put this file on your CH3SNAS. unzip this file and make sure it will be in /ffp/bin
You can use my nzbget.conf script, modify the usenet server details!

the nzbget.conf file must be put in /ffp/etc  folder
All my files are in /mnt/HD_a2/usenet
and under this folder there are 4 other folders needed: nzb, download, queue and tmp

If you want to process the RAR files after download you need a postprocess.sh file, you can grab your copy from my page and make sure it is called postproces.sh and put in /ffp/etc as well. Modify pathnames if necessary.

The last thing you need to do is grab the nzbget.sh file and put it in /ffp/start and make sure you make it executable with: chmod a+x nzbget.sh

You can check the working witht the command: sh nzbget.sh start - check it with sh nzbget.sh status - and stop it with sh nzbget.sh stop

Reboot your CH3SNAS or DNS-323 and after a few minutes you should be able to enter telnet again and see that nzbget is running (use ps as command to see the processes).

Smart people also make lighttpd working in combination with nzbgetweb .. to get a webfrontend for nzbget. the only thing you have to do is copy a nzb file into the /mnt/HD_a2/usenet/nzb folder

update 13-10:

changed links to folder content so that updates can be found rather than missing.

update 16-10:

Oeps.. some links to the files were gone .. Note: I am busy to get a more advanced postprocess script working ok.

When using NZBGETWEB

Addon: uploading large NZB > 8MB through the webinterface of NZBGETWEB is not possible if you do not use a separate PHP.INI. So please copy from /ffp/etc/examples the php.ini-recommended to /ffp/etc/php.ini, change the max upload file size. Although lighttpd has PHP support it does not use PHP.INI so you have to add this. open /ffp/etc/lighttpd.conf and edit : “bin-path” => “/ffp/bin/php-cgi“, to  /ffp/bin/php-cgi -c /ffp/etc/php.ini“; restart lighttpd and also large NZB files can be uploaded with NZBGET if you use this webfrontend.

enjoy!
