Newzbin RSS: How to configure

[blun7]

I'm using the latest build 0.25.4 and trying to get rss support working for newzbin.

Here's an RSS URL I've tried:

Code: [Select]

http://v3.newzbin.com/browse/category/p/movies/?ps_rb_video_format=16&feed=atom&fauth=...

I replaced the actual fauth parameter deliberately just in case.

Then I had a look at what cookies v3.newzbin use which are NzbSmoke and NzbSessionID.

I then added the following to the URL:

Code: [Select]

:COOKIE:NzbSmoke=...;NzbSessionID=...

... making the new URL:

Code: [Select]

http://v3.newzbin.com/browse/category/p/movies/?ps_rb_video_format=16&feed=atom&fauth=...:COOKIE:NzbSmoke=...;NzbSessionID=...

I put a new rule in the filter list:

Code: [Select]

* | A

I pasted the address in the alt.binz RSS tab and clicked refresh.

This resulted in an empty list. Any pointers?[/code]

Try changing feed=atom to feed=rss.  That at least displays results when I click Refresh, can't help you with the rest as I don't have newzbin account.

Edit: actually, now I do, and it works with RSS feeds fine.  BUT wow Newzbin is horribly fiddly compared with the free alternatives.

Yup, that worked. I had to change atom to rss.

Yup, that worked. I had to change atom to rss.

So, question for you blun7: is it possible to make custom feeds to Raw/Compressed Usenet pages on Newzbin, or only Report pages?

Thanks for the url for the RSS, but I still am having a problem.

I get the listing just fine and I see the files that are available. My problem is when I right click on the title and say "Add to Que", I get the popup that asks for the correct name to place the files and where to unrar it. I click on "Ok" and that window closes. (It's the one that used to say "Combo1", but has been fixed). Only problem is nothing is added to my Download Que.

What am I doing wrong, or do I have something misconfigured?

Thanks again for the help on the correct COOKIE setting.

Does the NZB download to your default directory?  If so, open it in Notepad or similar.  If you see html rather than xml code, then your cookie info isn't confgured properly.  To get the right cookie info, go to Newzbin page, log in and type in url box:

javascript:document.cookie

This should open a new page with active cookies that you can copy/paste.  To get the fauth code, just navigate to a Newzbin RSS page and copy from the url.

Yep, that was the problem, didn't have the correct COOKIE and fauth entered.

When I got the correct info in and right clicked the file, it added it to the download que just fine.

Thank you very much for your help...

I tried and doesn't work.

http://v3.newzbin.com/browse/category/p/tv/?feed=rss&fauth=*********:NzbSessionID=*******;NzbSmoke=******
I still have html as nzb, not xml...
fauth get from RSS link, nzbsession and nzbsmoke get from javascript:document.cookie
