How to run NZBGET on the AIOS

[aasoror]

Just seemed like the AIOS was not up to the task. It simply isn't powerful enough.

When I was setting it up I did download couple of gigs of files and it ran fine (but that was in the earlier version of the firmware as listed in the OP).

I will test it fully for the next semi-official release, then update the OP with my settings.

Might work better to load opt files, etc., on a EXT3 formatted USB drive plugged in the back instead of on the internal hard drive. I'm not impressed with how the unit works with the HDD. In trying some large size file transfers via FTP to the HDD in the AIOS resources get wrapped up with the FTP xfer and I can't access the hard drive in any other way until the FTP is done. Which is not a big deal just that it is symptomatic of what I believe to be true. The AIOS is what it is. It is not a high end high power unit. Not dissing it. Just acknowledging that it is going to work well when used as intended. Pushing it beyond its design MIGHT be possible but that does not mean it is worthwhile.

You are absolutely right, the AIOS is just a box with a very modest CPU and a very capable video decoding dedicated chipset. Whatever goes beyond playback is just icing on the cake making use of the embedded linux running underneath the GUI.

I'm probably going to pull the hard drive out. It works very well streaming stuff over the network and using hard drives access via the network to store, send files to, etc., works faster and easier than using the HDD in the AIOS. Plus the heat is much less when the HDD is not in the AIOS. I have to wonder if some of the weirdness is heat related. When doing a bunch of stuff the AIOS is working harder and generating more heat. Very noticeably hotter when I was trying NZBGET, pushing FTP, etc., to it yesterday.

I have successfully installed nzbget on my Aios media player. It runs beautifully. However, it takes a very long time to check and unpack downloaded material. I am talking about 10 hours (!) for 4GB. Is this normal?

Yup, its normal this is quite intensive task (verify and unrar), especially if recovery using par files is needed, what I would recommend is changing the options to only download the files and then you can do the parcheck/unpack over the network (which would be less resource intensive because the AIOS will be concerned as a storage medium).

I modified my

Code: Select all

/usr/local/etc/rcS

to include the nzbget and the webstart script automatically on reboot.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/etc/newsbin/startnzbget.sh start
/usr/local/etc/newsbin/startweb.sh start

However, they don't, I have to manually call the two scripts.
Has anyone had the same problem?
Is there a log where I could find out why they don't start?

[aasoror]

Has anyone had the same problem?

try adding these two lines to a separate script and see if you can execute it via telnet.

[csakis]

I don't have a problem running it from the telnet window, but the rcS just does not start them.

Don't mean the individual commands via telnet, I meant the two commands via script.
Also since you wait for storage to mount there is a chance execution is attempted before the drives mount which would cause the failure, might want to add some delay before executing the two commands (in the rcS script).
