Browser Add-ons Streamline the SABnzbd Experience
Chrome users can take advantage of the excellent SABconnect++—seen in the screenshot above. SABconnect++ gives you instance access to your queue, speed limiting, a pause/resume toggle, and desktop notifications. In addition to providing a speedy link to SABnzbd and notifications SABconnect++ also provides a direct interface for almost a dozen NZB search engines. The direct interface allows for 1-click NZB file downloads right from the search interface of the index. For those search engines which aren’t supported you can still right click on NZB file links and Send to SABnzbd.
Firefox users will want to check nzbdStatus. It’s not as feature rich as SABconnect+ but is still quite capable. You can send NZB links directly to SABnzbd, there’s a status bar widget for one click pause/resume and hovering over the widget gives you the status of the current download.
If you’ve configured SABnzbd for outside access and properly configured your home firewall, you can use the above browser add-ons wherever you are to receive notifications and monitor your SABnzbd queue.
Mobile Apps for Smartphone-Based SABnzbd Control
If remote access to the web interface and/or browser add-ons isn’t enough micromanagement for you there are several mobile app options to choose from.
Android users have a variety of apps to choose from. For general use the top two SABnzbd management apps are SABcontrol (Free / $1.40 for the ad-free Plus version) and SABMobile ($2.83, seen in the screenshots above). SABControl allows you to monitor your queue, pause and resume downloads, and remotely add NZB files to your SABnzbd installation. SABMobile includes the same features but also adds in SSH support for secure remote connections back to your home network and sports a built-in RSS reader, web browser, and index search so you can easily find NZB files on the go. If you’re looking for Android apps with tighter integration with popular sites like NZB Matrix, make sure to check out SAB Sheep to easily browse NZB Matrix and even stream partially completed downloads to VLC mobile.
iOS users also have a decent spread of apps to pick from. One of the most popular SABNzbd apps for iOS is, not surprisingly, one of the most popular for Android. SABMobile ($2.99) offers the same great features we outlined above. Another popular iOS app is myNZB ($2.99). You can view your queue, pause and resume the entire queue or individual items, adjust your speed limits remotely, change categories and priorities remotely, check your warning log, access nearly a dozen NZB index sites, and manually add NZB files. If you do your mobile browsing from your iPad, make sure to check out SABCommand ($2.99). It takes full advantage of the iPad’s spacious screen to give you a nice overview of your queue and the files in it—it’s light on features compared to the other iOS offerings but looks much prettier on the big screen.
All of the above apps are straight forward to configure, just makes sure you don’t skip over the first section in this guide about setting up an API key and configuring SABnzbd for remote access.
