How to install NZBGET?

You also need unrar and par2 packages. You can install those via SSH. You need SSH access and apt-get addons, which you can get at the follow locations.

http://www.readynas.com/download/addons ... SH_1.0.bin
http://www.readynas.com/download/addons ... PT_1.0.bin

Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install par2
apt-get install unrar


-APT_1.0.bin does not work on NVX's; what do you suggest? Also, where does one get the par2 and unrar packages?

Thanks,
Josh

thanks all for the excellent explanation on how to set this up on a NAS!!! I am a complete noob to this concept (NAS, not usenet, mind you) and after a lot of reading and trying I was able to install all the necessary 'tools'.

I am stuck at the level of setting up the usenet server.... the part that I thought should be the easiest as I've done that a 'zillion times' in regular usenet clients. My payserver is forteinc.com and for some reason I get the following error in the NAS webclient:

ERROR: NZBGetWeb could not process response received from NZBGet-Server (although successfully connected). Possible reasons include: Wrong port-settings, NZBGetWeb tries to communicate with a different kind of server (a web-server for example, but not nzbget-server). Check option "ServerPort" in config; Not compatible server version.

I've done the right setup in the config file (at least I think so).... I have setup the same port as the usual one (119 is the default), so I am a bit at loss what this error message means.... I am even thinking that forteinc's server possibly does not support this? Is this something you conclude from the above error message as well? Or perhaps any other tips? Much appreciated!!! :-)

If you want to unpack files or clean up the directory # (delete par-files, etc.) there are two possibilities, when you can do this: # 1) you parse the "name of par-file processed" to find out the base name # of collection and clean up only files from this collection (not reliable, # because par-files sometimes have different names than rar-files); # 2) or you just check the parameters "state of nzb-job" and "indication of # failed par-jobs" and do the processing, only if they are set to "1" # (which means, that this was the last collection in nzb-file and all files # are now completed) and to "0" (no failed par-jobs) respectively; # NOTE 2: if the option "ParCheck" is disabled nzbget calls PostProcess # only once, not after every collection, because the detection of collection # is disabled in this case; # NOTE 3: the term "collection" in the above description actually means # "par-set". To determine what "collections" are present in nzb-file nzbget # looks for par-sets. If any collection of files within nzb-file does # not have any par-files, this collection will not be detected. # For example, for nzb-file containing three collections but only two par-sets, # the postprocess will be called two times - after processing of each par-set. # NOTE 4: an example script for unrarring is provided within distribution # in file <postprocess-example.sh> # NOTE 5: do not forget to uncomment the next line PostProcess=/c/addons-config/Nzbget/unpak.sh # Allow multiple post-processing for the same nzb-file (yes,no) # After the post-processing (par-check and call of a postprocess-script) is # completed, nzbget adds the nzb-file to a list of completed-jobs. The nzb-file # stays in the list until the last file from that nzb-file is deleted from # the download queue (it occurs straight away if the par-check was successful # and the option "ParCleanupQueue" is enabled). # That means, if a paused file from a nzb-collection becomes unpaused # (manually or from a post-process-script) after the collection was allready # postprocessed nzbget will not post-process nzb-file again. # This prevents the unwanted multiple post-processings of the same nzb-file. # But it might be needed if the par-check/-repair are performed not directly # by nzbget but from a post-process-script. # NOTE 1: enable this option only if you were advised to do that by the author # of the post-process-script # NOTE 2: by enabling "AllowReProcess" you should disable the option "ParCheck" # to prevent multiple par-checking AllowReProcess=yes # Set the default message-kind for output received from postprocess-script # (None, Detail, Info, Warning, Error, Debug). # NZBGet checks if the line written by the script to stdout or stderr starts # with special character-sequence, determining the message-kind, e.g.: # [INFO] bla-bla # [DETAIL] bla-bla # [WARNING] bla-bla # [ERROR] bla-bla # [DEBUG] bla-bla # If the message-kind was detected the text is added to log with detected type. # Otherwise the message becomes the default kind, specified in this option.

This didnt work for me:
It gave an Error:

It doesn't unrar the rar files. I think parring goes well, although none was necessary
Does anybody have a clue what went wrong here ?

Nope - i've given up with lots of things on the readynas and just use it as a nas and a media streamer.
Access over the net (FTP) - uh uh
nzbget - uh uh
photo sharing for my family - uh uh
individual file/folder permissions - uh uh
support from netgear - uh uh

I'll accept I'm no expert anymore but have been in IT for 17 years and can still build and configure servers. If I find it too hard I reckon there's a case for it being too hard.

well it still doesn't work unfortunately.
I first thought that the unpak file could not be found.
If i however change the filename in the config file to something that doesn't exist it errors and tels me it cannot find the file.
If i set it back to the propervalue it just tells me it can't start it.
So i thought it had to be accessrights.

At first i had used win7 and set everybody and root etc. to full-controll.
Then i used the chmod 777 bit in ssh.
Then i used setacl to add the user nobody and the group nogroup to the unpak.sh script file with rwx rights.

This still gives me the same error.
I still think it has something to do with accesrights but am stumped at this point.
I cannot ftp in there as root although i used the EnableSSH package.
So i can not see all the files and poke around in the nzb folder.
I am also no Linux expert but willing to learn.

Can somebody please help me here ?
Is there some log somewhere that perhaps details better what is going on ?

It finally works.
The problem was the non-unix file ending in the unpak.sh.
Use something like Notepad+ to save it as a Unix style file (with only LFs at the end).
Now it starts unpacking..
happy camper here.

i found unrar and par worked natively on my DUO. hence not mentioning the requirement for it in my guide.

i think the unrar thing could well be down to the ERROR your getting. not knowing where your files are stored, or the folder structure of the x86 nas's, then i cant be of much help. while i catch up on this thread, it might be worth double checking the files exist/accessible in the location you've stored them.
permissions were an issue for me, as were the odd typo :)

ok, ignore that post ^^

looks like autopager wasnt working right and loading the last page of this thread :P

glad your sorted. i found notepad useless for doing scripting - i've had exact same issue than you with it, hence i now use notepad++.

Could you please explain this last step? I have installed the SSH and apt-get addons but I don't know how to use apt-get.

Many thanks in advance

use Putty as a client to connect to your readynas tru SSH.
This is where you installed EnableSSH for.
You'll get a terminal window(resembles a dos box)
Type the mentioned apt-get commands in this window.
