NZBGET 14

[AMWND]

Hi,
The NZBGet package that is currently available over xbian-config is v12. I wanted to ask if somebody can update it to the newest v14?
Thanks

[freem@n]

I edited the request since nzbget us now on version 14

Not tested on my raspberry but on my cubieboard I upgraded from 13 to 14 with.


/etc/init.d/nzbget stop
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/nzbget/files/nzbget-stable/14.0/nzbget-14.0.tar.gz
tar -xvf nzbget-14.0.tar.gz
rm nzbget-14.0.tar.gz
cd nzbget-14.0
./configure
make
sudo make install
make install-conf
Sudo reboot

Thanks Rich,

I just got NZBget 14 working on xbian in part due to your instructions ..

I have two changes here is what worked for me

first do this

sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev libssl-dev libxml2-dev -y
/etc/init.d/nzbget stop
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/nzbget/files/nzbget-stable/14.0/nzbget-14.0.tar.gz
tar -xvf nzbget-14.0.tar.gz
rm nzbget-14.0.tar.gz
cd nzbget-14.0
./configure --with-tlslib=OpenSSL --with-libxml2-includes=/usr/include/libxml2 --with-libxml2-libraries=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so
make
sudo make install
sudo make install-conf

THANK YOU!
just had to adjust the nice value but otherwise worked perfectly!

[Richdotward]

14.1 now out. 14 had some major decompression / par bug. Install same as above just change all from 14.0 to 14.1

Could you please tell me how you adjusted the nice value?

I'm asking this, because I need it to let XBMC continue playing content without stutter, even if download speed falls to the ground...

Thanks

First check using top that there is an issue.

If there is, use renice to reset the nice value. See http://www.nixtutor.com/linux/changing-priority-on-linux-processes/

[mrpi]

Thanks.
I thought there was an option in nzbget or something.
Generally, I use htop to spot issues, so yes, that's where I know it's an issue.
By issue, if I understood correctly, you mean nzbget sucks up lots of CPU %. Please correct me if you meant something else .

If I download, the video stutters. If I pause nzbget, the video plays nicely.
I'm using a buffer ext4 partition, where all the downloads go, so no NTFS performance funny business in this case .

Is there a recommended nice level for nzbget you guys use, or am I silly to think I could watch something while downloading?

[IriDium]

If I understand correctly. NZBGET only gets files from USENET, however if it is like any other other "Get" programs it ALSO does a PAR verify and a RAR verify - which is where the CPU usage is.

Turn off that option to verify, and do it yourself when all is "slow"

[mrpi]

Thanks IriDium for the advice. I'll try that...

Quick note about building NZBGet 14.1 in addition to the previous instructions:
When you set the path to libxml2.so, check if you actually have it in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so or in /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libxml2.so (as in my case).
Hope this helps .

Having anything installed under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu means your XBian is completely broken, technically.

[mrpi]

I had no intention of posting without purpose, but post 5 might confuse those new to RPi.

[freem@n]

thanks for posting the detailed update instructions, nurd71.
would it be possible to update the nzbget package in the repo anyways? so not everyone has to go through this process. I would do it myself but honestly I don't know where to start, but I'm sure it's not that hard for someone who already created packages for the XBian repo. thanks in advance, it's much appreciated
