Web Interface

[Moose]

Totally +1 for this 

[runeblade]

I was going to open this topic myself untill I saw someone else already did.

Web interface would be fantastic if possible, as long as it has the abilities to search usenet groups / select/download nzb's / control queue's from that interface.
My personal usage for this would be usefull, because at my work all ports are blocked (3389 (rdp), 5800/5900(vnc) etc..) so for a lot of people I would guess it would become quite handy? (good marketing/selling point as well )
It would also be better if there would be html files redirecting towards controlling alt-binz, instead of a built in http server

Wow this really gets a +1 from me!

Actually, the only thing we (or at least I) need is a website/server which allows me to search for NZB's and downloads them on my machine. If the program downloads them to the nzb-folder of Alt.Binz, Alt.Binz automatically imports them and starts downloading.

The search-program doesn't have to be a part of Alt.Binz at all.

Probably the closest to this currently would by something like the (free) 'My NZBs' and 'My Searches' RSS feeds for nzbs.org, in that you can set Alt.Binz to poll these, and change the listings remotely via web browser:

Would be most useful if Alt.Binz could handle multiple RSS feeds, though .

Hi,

i know this isn't entirely new (having been brought up back in the days here: https://www.altbinz.net/forum/index.php?topic=370.0 ), however i like to bring this up again after 2.5 years.

Back then the answer was "use a different application".
Well i don't want to quite frankly, as i think alt.binz is working well for me. I like that it is a standalone app, i do have my VNC setup at home to access it remotely, all very well.

However
Sometimes it would be fantastic to access it via the Web. I can't RDP to my Server at home from certain places (Office, Blackberry) and it would be nice to be able to. While purely web based apps like Ninan are nice, they don't give me the usability that i get from Alt.Binz, it just is the better software (sorry!).

I don't know how hard it is (but if the Donkey-boys could do it....) or if there is demand apart from me.
What do you think rdl, would this be something you see as a valuable addition to the product? I mean if it is not to hard to do it might attract new contributors and i don't see how that could be a bad thing

Cheers!

i personaly don't realy need that feature, but i see ur point.
In the meantime u could try the mirc-script and see if it could be of use to:

First thanks to Hecks for merging this, this thread actually didn't come up during my search (no clue why..).

While the mIRC script is a useful thing, the ports aren't available to me.

I'd need the search function (as binsearch etc are blocked through our Network) and the ability to add NZBs to the Q as well as check connectivity and reconnect.
So.. it's the same feed the client uses for search and three radio buttons.

If i could prog that myself, id do it.

Very nice :-)

But the Problem is, altBinz isnt installed on the same Computer, like mIRC is. Is there any way, to readout the Datas via Network (From Computer A (running altBinz) to Computer B (running mIRC))?
