In the Music Download Directory, enter /media/downloads. Chose SABnzbd there insert the host, (optionally) username and password, the API-key (good thing you copied it before) and the category ( music). On the frontend, click the screw-icon in the top-right corner, then open the Download Settings-tab. Nothing too exciting going on with the configuration on Headphones. Do not forget to save your settings! Headphones Configuration There are free providers like Womble’s Index and Binsearch that you can use, too. Here you can insert your providers, if you are registered with any. There check the box for Download NZBs and fill in the SABnzbd- URL, your API-key and, if you configured it, an username and password.Īfter testing and saving the Connection, open the Search Providers-tab.

The next time your wanted movies are searched for, the Usenet-provides will be searched, too. That is all you have to configure in Couchpotato. In the Enable another-section you can enable the following free providers: NZBClub and Binsearch. Then test the connection.Īfter that, open the Searchers-section. In the appearing settings, insert the correct IP-address and the API-key you copied earlier. There click SABnzbd in the Enable another-section. To configure Couchpotato to use SABnzbd, open its settings and go to Downloaders. This is all you have to change in SABnzbd, so lets move on to the other plugins. Set it to 777 so all the other plugins have read- and write-access to the downloaded files. Thats the place where SABnzbd will store the downloads and Couchpotato and the other plugins will look for them to post-process the files.Īnother important thing to change is Permissions for completed downloads. There you have to change the Completed Download Folder to /media/downloads.
There are still some things to tweak in SABnzbd before we can integrate it into Sickbeard, Couchpotato and Headphones.įor that, click on the screw in the upper right corner and then on General on the top.Ĭopy the API-Key you’re seeing there to another place you’re going to need it later.Ĭhange to the Folders-tab.
