SABdrop is a SABnzbd client/download manager for Google Chrome.
It provides a browser action which permits management (pause, resume, delete, move)
of SABnzbd downloads. SABdrop also adds a Send to option to the context menu of
weblinks for immediate transmission of NZB
files to a SABnzbd instance.
SABdrop has been tested with SABnzbd version 0.6.0 but should run with 0.5.x, too.
- Browser action with download management functionality
- Slider in browser action popup to adjust download speed limit
- Context menu to send NZB weblinks to SABnzbd for immediate download
- Supports API key and username/password authentication
- Supports categories (NZB links can be assigned to a category with context menu)
- Allows sending NZB files as file upload which should work around issues with sites that require an authentication (e.g. forums)
- Specification of alternative NZB names for sites with ugly download URLs
These are the settings found on the options page of SABdrop:
This is the full address of a SABnzbd instance including the protocol and optionally port. Some examples:
http://localhost/sabnzbd
http://localhost:8080/
http://192.168.80.1:8080/
Note that /api must not be appended to the URL.
Type of authentication method of SABnzbd instance. This is either API key or
Username/password. API key is the preferred method. Username/password
should only be used if API key doesn't work for some reason. Note that a SABnzbd
instance only supports one method at a time. If uncertain please check your SABnzbd
configuration.
The API key is required to access SABnzbd's API when API key has been selected as
Authentication method. It can be found in the configuration of SABnzbd's web
interface. If no API key exists one must be created.
Username for Username/password authentication method. This doesn't need to be
filled out if API key is used.
Password for Username/password authentication method. This doesn't need to be
filled out if API key is used.
These settings are hidden beneath the "Advanced options" tab:
Usually SABdrop tries to extract the name of NZB downloads from the download
URL. This works well for sites with pretty URLs (e.g.
www.somesite.com/downloads/somedownload.nzb) but fails for websites with ugly
URLs (.../download.php?id=1337). If this setting is set to always SABdrop
displays a notification dialog where the name of the NZB can be altered for every
download. If set to never SABdrop will not display the dialog and always take parts
from the URL for the name.
Please note that the notification dialog automatically disappears after 10 seconds and the download starts if there wasn't any interaction with the dialog. If the dialog is closed by the user (by clicking the "x") the download is aborted.
The request interval (in ms) for queries to the SABnzbd server. If you are on a mobile connection and/or have limited data volume this value should be increased.
The default behavior of SABdrop is to download NZB files locally and then send them to SABnzbd to work around issues with password-protected sites. If this options is enabled SABdrop will instead only send the weblink of a NZB to SABnzbd.
By default SABdrop requests the categories that have been set up on SABnzbd and adds them to the context menu. This enables sending a link to SABnzbd while adding it to a category at the same time. If this is not desired categories can be disabled with this setting. All downloads will be added to the standard category then.
SABdrop displays a non-obstrusive popup explaining the status of the current
action. This settings specifies the milliseconds after the popup shall disappear.
If this setting is 0 popups will be disabled completely.
A list of regular expressions
that are applied to the href attribute of page elements. If one of these
expressions match, the href is considered a link to a NZB and is displayed in the
page action (address bar). Each regular expression is separated by a newline.
If you are not familiar with regular expressions please don't change this option.
It may break SABdrops behavior.
