Introduction

SABnzbPre is a SABnzbd+ remote for the Palm WebOS platform. It requires SABnzbd+ 0.5.0 or newer. Don't try to use it with 0.4.x, it won't work. Please visit http://sabnzbd.org for more information. Here are a few screenshots to give you an idea of what you're getting into:

Installation

The easiest method of installation is to visit the SABnzbd Remote for WebOS page on Palm's website.

You can also download the ipk file directly (version 0.2.11 is the newest, older versions can be found in the Downloads section). Instructions on how to install that file (and other homebrew apps for WebOS) can be found at PreCentral.net. If one were so inclined, he could also try the app using the emulator included with the Mojo SDK.

Partial changelog

Version 0.2.10 (2010-03-13)

• Has a few improvements to memory usage, specifically with a very large number of items in the history.

Version 0.2.6 (2009-12-29)

• Removes the HTTPS option, because as far as I can tell, it's impossible to do Ajax requests with HTTPS in WebOS. Which is stupid.
• Fixes a lot of little bugs
• Some internal code cleanup that should hopefully improve performance a bit

Version 0.2.5 (2009-12-22)

• Internal browser is more responsive to taps/clicks
• Internal browser now has forward and back buttons as well as a page title and proper loading progress widget
• Adds the ability to use connection profiles
• Adds a basic server information page
• Adds the ability to pause temporarily ("Pause for...")
• Adds a spinner in place of the refresh button while requesting data
• Heaps of minor visual tweaks
• More internal stuff that only I care about

Version 0.2.4 (2009-12-15)

• More internal changes that really only affect me
• Makes most errors much less obtrusive and annoying

Version 0.2.3 (2009-12-14)

• Changes queue item layout again (experimenting with different progress indicators)
• Adds support for item level pause/resume
• Configuration UI changes in preparation for some upcoming stuff

Version 0.2.2 (2009-12-11)

• Adds support for browsing NZBMatrix (although it seems a little flaky at this point)
• Will disable the "Browse Newzbin" and "Browse NZBMatrix" buttons if you don't have those sites configured in SABnzbd+

Version 0.2.1 (2009-12-10)

• Adds the ability to set a download speed limit
• Adds subtle cues for paused queue items and failed history items
• Uses a background image that I'll probably have to change in the future

Version 0.2.0 (2009-12-09) is a major rewrite of most of the inner workings of the app to hopefully improve the general overall operation. Other changes include:

• The obvious change to palm-dark
• Slight re-design of queue item layout, most notably the addition of a progress bar
• History items now include the size of the download as well as checking/unpacking progress and failure details
• The preferences scene will let you test your settings
• The Add Download scene will now dynamically load your categories and scripts so you can pick something other than the default
• You can specify a path now, which is useful if you're using reverse proxying and have it mapped to something other than /sabnzbd (in other words, you can connect to http://yourhostname:80/usenet if you want)
