Sabnzbd upgrade

[StrawDragon]

How do people who paid for Sabnzbd upgrade when they have paid for it and the newer version requires you to pay again???!?!?

There is no automatic update within the program. It only points you to the source and dmg files for a mac.

WhoCares explained it.

His work is the same with each version, so instead of making people pay a "huge" fee and then offering the updates, he chose to make people pay a "small" fee for each version. You are then free to update, or to keep you current version (i still use the 0.6.9 i bought, i'll buy a newer version when i'll see one interesting enough : new functionnality, critical bug corrected, etc.)

Lame...

Thanks! I wouldn't buy from him again. Not for this reason, but for others.

Appreciate it.

how do i upgrade with keeping my old settings? i have a new bin file and only see a 'remove button' not an update button

[TeknoJnky]

just install it normally through the update firmware/addon link

Sabnzbd updates are released from their main website free of charge. Since you have alread paid for the the ReadyNAS Extra package, you can do a manual upgrade by following these directions:


### The following lines will setup and move
### most of SABnzbd's Core files into /c/.sabnzbd
### This will make future upgrades easier

### Part 1: Move Core Files and setup System Links
mv /usr/share/sabnzbdplus/* /c/.sabnzbd/
rm -rf /usr/share/sabnzbdplus/
ln -snf /c/.sabnzbd /usr/share/sabnzbdplus
ln -s /c/.sabnzbd/interfaces /usr/bin/interfaces

## Setup Download Path
# All downloaded files will be stored in the media share
# Download Path = /c/media/complete [Movies | Music | TV]
# You will need to change sabnzb config settings

## This is my download directory structure
## Please adjust to match your system
cd /c/.sabnzbd
rm -rf /c/.sabnzbd/Downloads
ln -s /c/media Downloads
mkdir Downloads/complete
mkdir Downloads/complete/Movies
mkdir Downloads/complete/Music
mkdir Downloads/complete/TV
mkdir Downloads/incomplete
mkdir Downloads/incomplete/watch
ln -s Downloads downloads

## Link SickBeard Scripts to SABnzbd
ln -s /c/.sickbeard/autoProcessTV scripts
ln -s scripts script

## Setup user ROOT links
cd /root
rm -rf .sabnzbd
ln -s /c/.sabnzbd ./.sabnzbd
rm -rf email
ln -s /c/.sabnzbd/email ./email
rm -rf scripts
ln -s /c/.sabnzbd/scripts ./scripts
rm =rf Downloads
ln -s /c/.sabnzbd/Downloads ./Downloads

## Edit Defaults File ~ change owner to 'root'
nano /etc/default/sabnzbdplus

# Install Sabnzbdplus into the System so that it auto-starts during boot
# Not needed, just put here to show how it's done
sudo update-rc.d sabnzbdplus defaults
