Nalin posted:It looks like you can just send an Amazon.com gift code to avoid the extra $10 and the t-shirt. Reading the thread through their forums it looks as though that will end on Nov. 1st as well. I have 2xx days left but if they keep the payment the same by the time I would have to repay, I'll drop them. It's just so sketchy.

Now they are saying that legacy users will be downgraded to "lite" accounts. Browsing and 25 API hits per day.

That downgrade is a stopgap to prevent accounts from getting pruned I read.

For those looking for an alternative, NZBGeek currently have lifetime passes available for US$30 (or $6/$12/$18 for 6m/1y/2y) memberships.

So I do actually have around 200 days left. Apparently they killed api requests until you log in and look at the thread. I agree that this is the sort of money grab I've seen many times before a site goes belly up, and on principle I'll never give Dog any more money. I'll second NZBGeek as a replacement.

Someone should set up a newznab VM so more people can just run their own indexer. I'd do it, but I've already got too many projects.

I'm still happy with Newshosting (Highwinds), as Sonarr/Couch is generally fast enough to defeat the DCMAs, and the completion is good enough that I don't run any block accounts. If I need to get stuff from the past that's gone, I'll go elsewhere as I never found stacking accounts helped much in that regard.

I never have problems with old stuff with Supernews + Blocknews. I got an extra block fill from tweaknews but its rarely ever utilized. I've been looking into ditching CouchPotato for an IMDB RSS/watchlist type thing with nzbget, anyone else done this yet? I really dislike the new UI and it occurred to me that CP is probably overkill for something that should be fairly easy.

I have found with nzbget + videosort it has worked so much better for me than CP. You can set up notifications through nzbget or emby, which I think you use. I use emby pushbullet notifications when new things get added to my library.

Looks like my dog account now has less than 100 days left, ugh. What are the best alternatives? I like to have multiple indexers, but not sure I want to renew dog after this bs. Are there any indexers that have been around a long time (and therefore are less likely to disappear any second)?

Alternatively couldn't someone just setup a Docker file for newznab. Just point everyone to that. Would be so much help. gently caress, I'd donate if someone made a Docker container for all of my usenet toys. Stick nzbget, couch, sonarr, mylar, etc in there.

So even though Dog says I have a few months left on my VIP membership, Sonarr is having trouble connecting even after generating a new API key. Sonarr works fine with other newznab providers and I can download NZBs from the dog website just fine. I'm simply getting an 'unable to connect to indexer' error. Anyone else experiencing this? Is https://api.dognzb.cr no longer the correct URL? Or are they simply blocking API requests now? tonic fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Oct 31, 2015 |

You're basically describing a Docker Compose manifest. That would be pretty cool, and not that hard to assemble, but not terribly portable right now since it only runs natively on Linux (a host VM is required for other platforms).

The repo name was just Dockerfiles so maybe google that with couch potato? Mine is transmission with PIA, couch, sick rage, sabnzbd, Mylar, headphones, and I think one other. They share a done getting the content data container, and a link to the NAS
