NZB ability?

[Brian]

Will boxee have NZB/usenet support in the future? It would be great to have a folder like the ~/.boxee/torrent "~/.boxee/nzb" :).

I love it!,.. I can just scp over a torrent file and off it goes! :)


of course we would need a config file for NZB support (username, password, server, etc..)

well - i would love to see usenet support as well... :)
it would most likely be done in a script/plugin and not "the torrent way".
in boxee we are not currently working on it. but such a script/plugin may come from the great community of both boxee and xbmc. stay tuned :)

Too bad this XBMC developer went MIA otherwise we would have the back-end support for it already:

As you can see it is one of the most requested feature over at the XBMC community forums as well.

...if Boxee only added the backend support then the community could write the plugins for it :)

I might be able to help on such a plugin...... hmmm....

tried sabnzbd? it will process nzb completley hands-off, download, repair, unpack, even categorizes and sorts tv eps for you.

sab has rss and newzbin support. not integrated to boxee but a great companion program.

SABnzbd+ Controller

minimally boxee would need to download an NZB file (xml) into a SABnzbd+ blackhole CIFS share ;)

I was thinking of just writing a frontend hook into hellanzb for boxee.

In looking at the boxee API, it shouldn't be too difficult. The API offers quite a bit of GUI display methods.
