MyNZB

I've just bought this app for my iPhone and I want to cry. There are no guides on how to set it up and as per usual people in forums won't speak in simple terms.

The app wants, for the server, a name, host, port, username, password and API key. I don't even know where to begin. I know the port Sabnzbd+ uses is 8080 but how on earth do I find the host address? People on forums are going on about QNAP address but I don't have the foggiest what that is!

Would really appreciate some help,

Cheers

if you've managed to setup Sabnzbd then you must know what host etc you need to use

who do you use for newsgroups? (astraweb/giganews etc)

You know that you have to subscribe to a news server too?

The server name can be anything you want, the host is the IP address of the computer you have sabnzbd running on such as 192.168.0.1 (yours will be different), the port should be 8080 unless you have changed it, username and password should be whatever you set when you installed sabnzbd, they may be blank. The API key can be obtained from the settings pages of sabnzbd, you should also check that external access is allowed in the sabnzbd settings as this can be disabled, your firewall may also be blocking the access so make sure the ports are open.

I should also add that once you get outside the safety of your wifi, things get a lot more difficult as you need to traverse the Internet (WAN) side of the router.
